Well this is a real schmup if I have seen one! Great game!

Now theres a shmup! A danmaku through and through. Got my 1CC on the second run. My only pickings are with the UI, which was a little hard to parse, but eh, its a jam. Amazing work!

Oh yeah, this one's oozing with style.

I'd consider adding some kind extra indicators that my bullets are hitting an enemy, on top of their health percentage dropping ofc. Something like a small collision effect when bullets hit, or make the enemies flash white for a frame. That kind of visual feedback is very important to the shmup feel!

I 1CCed the game with 4 lives and autobombs.

This is the closest to an arcade game I've played so far. The art, sound and music are all great, the game controls perfectly and it's very punchy and fast but fair, it feels super good. All these bullet sponges are satisfying to destroy and the boss fight is pretty cool.

That's a great entry, thanks for sharing.

Super fun classic bullet hell stuff. Managed a 1CC on my second or third try. I wish it was longer, which is more of a compliment than a complaint! Only other 'complaint' is that the jam theme wasn't really factored in, but I don't care anyway because the game is fun on its own.

Very cool! The movement is snappy, I like the art and the bullet patterns are fun.

I liked it, very frantic, the bullet patterns are quite challenging, good job
