Oh hey, a fellow Visual Novel entry for a Bullet Hell jam 👀

Having to dodge and read at the same time reminds me of one of the entries to Bullet Hell Jam 2022: https://raccoon-formality.itch.io/escape-the-date

While your game is clearly undercooked, and it's hard to me of think of proper feedback because of it, I think the idea is worth exploring. Though, since dodging bullets and reading are two very different mechanics, I think it'd be very challenging to make the game fun while making sure the bullets and dodging are a storytelling element, rather than a distraction or a mere gimmick.

That's partially the reason why I separated the two in our own visual novel bullet hell entry - the visual novel portion describes the story and gives you choices, and the bullet hell segment tries to convey emotion, energy and dynamics of the date as it's happening while reflecting your choices to some extent. Perhaps you may find some insights and things to think about with our entry as I have with yours.

Overall - a worthwhile idea to pursue. Can't really imagine how the game will end up to be considering its current state, but am curious to see how the concept evolves. Congrats on finishing the jam!

The concept is neat, as everyone else has been saying.

I like the idea of the genres being mixed as it really shows off how creative people can be.

I wonder what the full game will be like.

what if you make out with a snowflake instead tho lol

Neat concept!

Interesting concept, but I wasn't too sure what everything was trying to convey. Does the mechanics imply I've no actual interest in the date, but I'm trying my best to make it work? Haha.

Interesting use of the bullets for a visual novel. Kitty part was my fav. Trying to read and play was rough for me personally. I usually just try to find a place in all these bullet hell games where i can just stand there and not get hit lol! Cheers!

that's a unique game! a mixture of the Under tail's fighting system with hard social and emotional situations which in my opinion could lead to a lot of twists and new perspectives Loved it    

Honestly, I haven't had the opportunity to come across such a concept before. It's definitely a unique and interesting experience, well done!

your game has such a cool concept! 

Nice game! Good job :)

It's a really fun demo. I'm happy to have been a part of making it and can't wait to see the idea come to fruition. I hope everyone who plays appreciates it as much as I do and sticks around to see the finished product when it comes out.
