In what way does your game fit the theme?
You start of very weak and become stronger when you accept the help of other players who left comments on itch.io to help you.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes
Edit: i used 2 assets for the base of the explosion effects (totally forgot about that)

The whole style is simple and exciting, the combinations that are generated are special and make the gameplay unique and require great strategy. Likewise, the sound effects, lighting and color palette work wonders.
Excellent gameplay and development!
Great job!
This game is quite similar to my game. There is not enough dynamic music and effects. The gameplay is great. I really liked how the difficulty increase is made in this game. I also liked that some bullets can be broken, while others can't.
Anyway, I liked the game.
Good job
super nice game i really enjoyed playing it :D Also, i like the colors mix with the black background that doesn't destroy the eyes, well done.
I love this type of game and yours was no exception. I liked the ability to shoot the yellow dots but not the red. Added a bit of strategy and chance in what would otherwise be a hopeless screen.. Very well done.
Hey nice work!
Please rate mine if you have time:

A really fun fast paced game, the art and the music work really well together
Really enjoyed this, such a clever way to use the theme. It all seems hopeless until you're 'Stronger together'. Great work!
Please vote for our game too :-) Thank you

Ok, I haven´t played a lot of games yet, but this is going to my top-entries list! The idea and implementation of the theme is just awesome! Really nice handled, feels so polished and I had really great time with your game! Love it! Thank you
nice game! I also did a space shooter type lol
Awesome bullet game!
As someone who doesn't play a lot of bullet hell games, I really enjoyed this one! Great take on the theme and I love the name for it too :)
Thanks you! I’m not really big into bullet-hells too and that’s exactly what i wanted for this game :D
Love bullet hell games,
Job really well done!
I never played a game of this kind before but this one was quite fun!
Nobody wrote a comment while I played it, so i wasn´t able to see other shipsEDIT:
The ships activate after 3 deaths, so I had to revisit my rating. The game really opens its potetial with the help of the other ship :)
Oh no i’m sorry, you should be able to see other ships come help you. It shouldn’t matter if they post the comment during your play session though. The trigger for this in game is dying 3 times, maybe you didn’t reach that point?
Oh yes I probably didnt reach this point in the first run.
So I retried your game and have to say: Its much fun with the help! I revisited my rating as well to reflect my happiness :D
Hehe glad you liked it! That was the intended experience, thanks for revising your rating <3
Fun game, didn't expect that mechanic so good job! Great idea!
Thanks a lot!
Good game but it don't fits the Theme
Did you accept the help from other players? If you keep playing the game (it triggers after 3 deaths), something big will change and you i think it fits the theme quite well :)
Love the art and post processing, the music fit very well, the gameplay was fun? I mean there is no dodge/dash button, love the message it left behind also how did you make the smoke effects? and is there a secret ending if you beat it "solo" cause I try but failed, I will come back tmr for round 2 >:(
good job :D
Thanks for the feedbacks! <3
There is an alternative ending if you manage to beat the game without receiving any help (it’s not much tbh), i don’t think a lot of players will get to see it though, haha.
determination is at an all time high
Very well made shooter. I can sense the Nier inspiration here. Funny how I thought of the same thing when hearing the theme. I'm not sure if the main feature is working though
Haha, yes this was absolutely my inspiration but didn’t want to spoil anything so i didn’t mention it on the game page :P The “request assistances” come after 3 deaths, maybe i should have done a better job teasing this in game 🤔
Unsure if the comments really are the players that come to help you since I was one of the first to play but I am excited to come back to it and confirm that when more people have come to play! Super interesting concept and the controls feel nice. Had a good time!
you will have to mess with HTML to get live updates on how many comments there is , good luck coding that XD
is this because Im first? Lol genuinely curious! The idea is super cool
Hehe that is exactly what i did :)

wow so you take the comments name and if there is none then you already have some pre-made "comments name" XD
Yeah, we had placeholder names for the development phase (and before people started commenting to help others) :)
The helpers ship are really coming from the comments, however we put some placeholders in case the first players needed the help.
You can see the helpers list right here and the source code here if you are curious about how it’s done :)
