In what way does your game fit the theme?
The game is a bullet hell game (literally). Gradually it will become difficult to keep track of enemies.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
The game uses sounds and music from other sources which were not made during the jam window, the rest including code and graphics were made during the jam time.

this game was very polished and unique! great job!
Thank you
Cute idea! This was a great game! I love the art style
Thank you
I like the idea of shooting the letters. It's really good and UI is clean.
Thank you for playing the game, I'm glad you liked it.
Hahaha, such an accurate representation of office life. But seriously it was a fun game which quickly became chaotic. The art and the UI is clean and fabulous, I really liked it. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks a lot for playing the game. I'm glad you liked it.
cool game! enjoyed it! simple and straightforward controls, great gameplay, good replay value and nice art, overall great game, keep it up!
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Thank you.
Interesting concept which chaotic very fast.
Thank you for playing my game. I missed it on the stream.
Very polished and cute :) Maybe you can add some way to reward the player for hitting the letters in right order (I actually thought it would work this way before playing), so you'd have to snipe the right letters and change bullet types to switch between different words. Anyway, it was a great experience overall!
Also, looks like you've added some kind of smoothing to the mouse (to make stuff harder to hit I guess), but it gets kinda annoying at times.
Thanks a lot for playing and your feedback. My initial idea was to have a select or destroy mechanic where you shoot with left arrow to select the letter and shoot with right arrow to destroy the letter. That way you can complete the list in actual order. But I thought having different bullet types will confuse the player a bit more, so I scraped the earlier idea.
About the slow mouse movement, at first I snapped the player to mouse position but that felt janky and had some weird jerks so I added smooth follow mouse movement, but I guess it feels a bit unresponsive.
I was thinking more about completing the words itself in correct order, but I guess it might introduce impossible situations where all valid letters are obscured by something else...
Nice entry! I really liked the tutorial part and the overal presentation of the game. The mouse movement felt a bit unresponsive and slow, but overal cool game!
Thanks for playing the game and feedback!
Interesting game. Some times its buggin out (like Im shooting letter with triangle but it is going to circle word, or spawning 2 letters at same place) but that was cool seeking for needed letters)
Very Pog.
Cool one!
Thanks
haha nice one very interesting story and concept :D although i would like to not go to first level every time boss fires me
Thanks for playing the game and reviewing it. Great suggestion about having to start from second level, it didn't occur to me. Thanks :D
Cool idea, I was caught off guard when I had to start thinking about which letters I had left to shoot. Great Game!
Thanks so much for playing it.
lovely game man, great concept
Thank you
A very nice game. It looks good and plays well. The only problem I had was that the sound effects were a bit too loud.
Thank you. Agree with you, I downloaded sound FX from different sources and didn't have time to tone them down to same level. So some of them are difficult to hear while others are loud.
Solid stuff! Although I got fired kinda quickly lol. the switch between circle triangle and square is very nice and creative. It really kept me playing for a little bit! I rated this! Maybe you can also play and rate mine?
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it and sure I'll play and rate yours.
Yea this is a very cool game, better concept than the average bullet hell for sure!
Thank you for playing the game and kind words.
yea, It is really cool what people come up with in a single theme, definetly a really cool start for my first game jam
The game is interesting. It was a little confusing in the beggining, but I managed to understand it. The story is a great touch :))
Thanks for playing it. Yes I think I should have spent some more time making a tutorial or something.
