I agree with you, Bullet-Hell and "Let there be Chaos" go together really well! I made a bullet-hell too! Really enjoyed this one, although I thought the player was a bit too fast for my taste. I do think allowing the player to stop immediately in the air when they let go of the button was a great idea because it helps the player feel more under my control.

Nice game, quite fun. One thing I did notice, was how the signs told me to jump after I did all the jumping. I also like the graphics, very classic. Good job.

School ChaosThe graphics, sound and music are fantastic. They definitely give the feeling of playing an old retro jump and run from the NES days. The controls make it a bit difficult to perform precise actions. This makes the game overall very difficult. I think it would be enough to slow down the character's movement a bit, then it would be almost perfect.

Bomby ZombyCool game! Graphics and sound are very good, but game coud be a little slower, it was really hard to tell what was going on on the screen. Really god job though!

Don't let chaos inWOW! Thank you so much, that makes me SO happy! <33 The jump was really a downside because this is a precision type game and having the jump weird sucks! :c I shold've fixed right of the start, but thanks for opening my eyes, the feedback, and for speedrunning my game!!
P.S: It's really interesting how you can just run through levels! I didn't though on playing the game that way :o nice run btw
this game is difficult, but i like your graphic! check my game too

Death Mission - Dino DoomsdayIt's really difficult and controls feel a bit off sometimes but it's pretty fun to play.

Double Dungeonthis game is surprisingly really fun! The graphics are so cute, and the hit sound is oddly satisfying, although the platforming is a little hard to control but i got used to it. Great job!

Mouse In The HouseThe graphics were nice and it fit very well with the game. I found it to be really challenging and pretty fun (could you have made the difficulty curve a little easier?). The controls were okay, it felt a little too fast for a bullet hell type game. The enemy's AI was really, really good, and hard to defeat. Also it sometimes feels like the game didnt register a jump, could you have added some coyote time? All in all, pretty good submission.

INFLATIONThe graphics were nice and seemed to fit well with the style of game. I also like the idea behind it (a platformer bullet hell). Although some things with jumping input felt somewhat off, it felt a little delayed - and also, which is a common problem, it feels like it sometimes doesn't register your jump. This is probably because the player has hit jump right after they fell off the platform. To make the player feel like it registered the game is usually coded to let the player jump off even if they're just off the platform. This is usually made by giving a delay to turning off the "letJump" bool (I don't know if you did this, although I would recommend given more time if so).
Apart from that I didn't have any other problems, keep making games! You're art seems pretty good, so you may want to try and focus on the game design next! I would appreciate if you rated my submission, I'll also try to rate many other submissions.

Blade To A Gun FightI didn't do it! I should have done that from the prototype of the game, but in the beggining I didn't think much of it, but now I realised how important that is thanks to the comments and people that who have played it! Next time I will be implementing that since it is in fact a really big difference in gameplay and feel! Thanks for playing it and for the constructive feedback :D
And I will definitively play your game and leave a comment cc:
