Ranked from 15 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Are you using any third party assets?
No. Everything I made by hand with 2 exceptions.

Are you using any AI generated assets?
Yes. I didn't have time to finish my characters so the player and the enemy are partial ai generation. I have modified them in Piskel and Gimp but have a ways to go with the angel. Specifically her wings. I do not use artist names in my prompts and craft my images more on moods and colors. I then modify these images in Gimp or run them through my local StableDiffusion custom models then kitbash a bunch of ideas and look at them for 10 days straight until one pokes me in my eye.

Did you use BulletFury?

No

I like the concept of being the bullet hell. I think the game needed some more depth though, I found I could just spam one direction and nothing would get close to me. 

Developer

Very creative idea and great audio and visuals. 👍 I would love to see next version with more polished gameplay.

Developer(+1)

I will be sure to let you know when I have the next version complete. I needed the week off to decompress. Have a good weekend!

I did not expect it to be reverse bullet hell haha, fun concept!

Developer(+1)

Right on that is cool to hear :) Thanks for stopping buy!

Nice with a reverse bullet hell :)

It felt like a solid base for a game, but not much happened. It felt like I could have survived indefinately as long as I pressed either right or left arrow.

I would also have liked to see some score, "kill count" or some such to keep me interested.

But as I said, a solid start. Keep at it and I'll gladly try it out again in the future.

Developer

Thank you very much! My bullet hell skills are sub-par and pathetic. So this was a more fun alternative. Yes a kill count! I have a bunch planned. I really appreciate you stopping by and giving it a go. Sky Of Diamonds mode is where the fun is at. Might need an autoclicker because i set the increment values too low. Anyway, I will fix that and add better controls.. Cheers friend!

Accidentally discovered very quickly that you can just hold one direction and nothing can get close to you lmao

The concept of *being* the bullet sprayer was neat, though

Developer

hahahahahahahaha! Yes, who knew the means of immortality were so simple. This was going to be part of the consequences aspect where you could chose to kill everything or be selective. Get the whole Starwars Jedi/Sith thing going on.

I hope you'll check back one day and have a complete experience. I have a good plan. Just need to decompress a bit. Cheers!

Took me a bit to understand what the controls are and what character I was controlling. I looked through the description and didn't find any info, but maybe I'm blind. Anyway, love the bit aesthetics and if you did the audio yourself, cheers on that.

Developer

I appreciate you taking some time out of your day to check out my bullet-toy-thing. Sorry about the lack of control instructions def a my bad on that one.

I created the main song from scratch. Sky-Of-Diamonds mode is an original piece of music but I ran it through Stable Audio and had it synthesize it. So in a way I wrote it and didn't lol!

Pretty cool I like what you can up with a little clunky but had polish in other areas.

Developer

Hey man thanks for checking it out! I appreciate the feedback too. Going to get some fixes in once the jam is complete. Cheers!

Really like the art! I found the gameplay a bit frustrating but still a solid game!

Developer

Thanks a lot for your comment! I can totally see that but appreciate you giving it a shot. Now that I have a decent system in place I'll work on adding a game to it LOL :)
