I honestly got to the boss without really understanding what I was doing. The whole graze the core thing is neat but easy to exploit. Most of the time I just moved into the swarm of bullets until the bomb went off. That lack of challenge made the game too easy. But unique :)

Thanks for playing and your comment. 
I should definitely work on making the goal of the game clearer, as well as on effects to make actually grazing bullets more evident.
The idea is to go for a high score (which is why I am going to implement leaderboards), and running into bullets prevents that: hopefully I can make the game say that for me.

Shame the playability seems unfinished,

it looks good and relatively polished ! Grazing is also a mechanic that doesn't get enough love :)

When you graze successfully you should feel it with audio and visual cues ( like psyvariar for instance ).

Hi thanks for playing and your comment.
I agree with you on all your points. This was what I was able to do in the timeframe of the jam.
I have a list of issues and stuff I would like to add and cleanup, such as removing the excess randomness, and adding polish. I will likely end up adding game modes, and a scoreboard.
