How the hell did you three make this in just a week? This is nuts. Game feels soooo damn good to play and the upgrades are really fun. Also visuals and sounds are s-tier too. While I don't think things were as strong as they could be with the theme, everything else is 5 stars. Might be the most fun I've had with games in this jam! Amazing stuff.

2 of us worked on the game. One was only concerned with the r music.

The essence of game jams in the flesh. Simple yet effective premise, super polished core elements, does one thing and does it nearly perfect, great job!

Amazing work, really enjoyed the art and music and enjoyed the gameplay. Feels like a fully developed game. Check out Skytanic if you get a chance :)

I love this game

Submitted

Really really incredible work! This game is such a blast to play. Hitting/getting hit feels very visceral and tactile; I'm not exactly sure how to put it but playing the game feels very satisfying. The gameplay itself is also great, and the upgrades after each level are fun and varied enough to make me want to try multiple builds (my favorite of which still being extra wall-bounces and bullets splitting on hitting a wall, it's so chaotic!) The music and sound design are also really wonderful and very professional. The music style reminds me very much of Hades, one of my favorite OSTs, and I think it fits the vibe of the game perfectly! Super fun game, great work to everyone involved!

Developer

Thank you very much! We did put a lot of effort into polish rather than a lot of content. Which is why most of the content feels so good. And also one of us was only working on the music which enabled them to really cook.

EXQUISITE polish on this one. This is an extremely impressive amount of audio/visual fidelity for only one week, even if some amount of it was copied from a previous project. Great job!

The game feel was fantastic! I loved the fact that there is friendly fire on your bullets, it forces you to be really strategic. It's a really smart design, especially since the bullets bounce by default.

Developer

yes thank you

I really enjoyed the game; the quality was excellent. I cleared up to level 12.
You can upgrade your gun every time you clear a level, but since the enemies keep getting tougher, it doesn't feel like you're getting much stronger. I think there's room for adjustment in that aspect.

Developer

Thank you! The idea with scaling the enemies quickly as well was to incentivize taking more dangerous upgrades to keep up, but balancing needs to be improved for sure.

This is a fantastically fun game, and I say that as someone who lost their twitch reactions a loooooong time ago :-) Great graphics and sound, beautiful artwork (especially on the menu screen). Loved the powerup mechanics at the end of each level. Truly excellent work, well done!
