Ranked from 50 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.
In what way does your game fit the theme?
It is a bullet hell hence it has the elements of chaos in it, in addition not being able to shoot means you need to be further aware of enemies and bullets making this game even more chaotic as more enemies spawn.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

thanks for explaining the errors in the game! good game
ahhh i wanted to make a game like this...till i realized i had no more time
nice work, nice concept!
did you use the full week? just curious
Yep, I used the whole week, I tried getting all main mechanics working in the first 3 days, then in the 4th and 5th day I made art and made code for powerups and improved the code for everything else. Then on the 6th I made the enemies (which i already made a script for just needed to tweak parameters and make the sprites). On the 6th in the evening I also exported and made the cover art as I knew I wouldn’t have time on the 7th in the morning (for me it ended at 11AM).
Now here I am just rounding the days cause really since the first day started at 11AM too that would have technically been day 1 and so day 7 would have not actualy been day 7 but yeah, I spent that day on developing on the concept, I already had a vague idea but didn’t know certain changes I’d have made.
Nice game! I love the art style and the music, and it's a nice take on the 'bullet hell' style.
One thing I wish there was more of was Sound Effects. It would've been way more satisfying for there to be footsteps and power-up sounds. It was also a bit confusing on what could hurt you and what couldn't.
Overall, nice entry!
I know! SFX was intended to be included as suggested also by the SFX volume slider in the options which currently does literally nothing, we just didn’t have time to put them in.
The game is indeed chaotic :D Also the main mechanic is pretty fun to use !
I wish there was a reflect sound effect and particle effects to give the player feedback that they are deflected a bullet. Also temple background hides bullets very well you should look at that :/
Overall it was fun deflecting :D great work !
I’ve been told about the temple and I also realised that background also hides the time counter… so I think I’ll be recolouring some things especially for the temple stage to make it more contrasting. Bullet colour was actually temporary, i was planning to use the same colour schemes as the enemy shooting it but didn’t have time so I made a greyscale to then modulate colour over in godot only to realise that only worked on the enemies. Will fix it after the jam.
Really cool concept! I liked the art style and it was pretty fun!
Thank you! I was out all day and I’m exhausted now but I will definitely play your game too maybe tomorrow.
Hey there,
I played and rated your game accordingly!
I liked the idea of putting the player in an area where there are bullets flying towards the player!
Do consider playing and rating my game as well: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-6/rate/1177996
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the reply, I'll try your game as well!
Sure, I would appreciate it! :)
Really nice game. It is so chaotic and the music is great. 4 and a half out of 5!
Thanks! It was my first ever released game so it means a lot!
Nice art design and audio!
Thank you!
Great art and audio! It's a pretty challenging game but it fits with being chaotic. The bugs exists but at least they don't break the game! Good job!

Yeah, was told about the hiding in the corner issue before too, I will maybe change up the shape of the maps so you can’t do that anymore after the jam! Also yes, the environment helping you was one of the key mechanics of the game we definitely wanted to implement!
Very hard game but I liked it, well done!
Glad you liked it!
Very unique game mechanics indeed. I think it need some polish over the UI and the bugs which you have mentioned in the page. Artstyle is pretty great, only the bullets in the temple map should have been different in color. It was very hard to see that bullets in temple because the floor was also almost the same color as the bullets. Except that I enjoyed This game very much.
I agree with what you said about the polishing and bugs, thanks about the artstyle by the way, I drew everything myself apart from the trees which are made by GoldenKing. I totally agree on the temple map thing, that map was rushed on the last day of the jam and I didn’t have much time to tweak things around… In fact bullets were meant to resemble the colour scheme of the enemy sending it but I didn’t have time to implement that so I left it like it is right now.
Surely can relate to that overwhelming stress of last day haha
Really interesting an unique take on having to defend yourself and attack with the shield. Feels like it needs some polish and balancing but it's a nice one :D
Cool. I enjoyed hitting the projectiles back at the slimes.
That’s exactly one of the game’s main mechanics, glad you enjoyed it!
nice game :D
Thank you!
Oh hey so you played it already, good to see you liked it!
yes :D
Very cool game !
Thx!
Really fun game! Cool maps too!
once you get the hang of it its really fun to play and when you deflect the bullet towards the player its really satisfying !
the only issues i had were
>the bug that you already mentioned
>and the enemy spawning right between you and the shield
Ohh right that second bug is pretty annoying.
