Do you have any bullet or projectile in your game?

Yes

You added some projectile or bullet in your game

How does your game implement the theme? (If your game doesn't use the theme ignore this field)
We made our levels on a timer, so that they have to be completed within 10 seconds. Otherwise you get put back at the start to try again. The idea here is that in this world as a "courier" you're used to meeting crazy time restrictions.

However, this time you're putting your skills to recovering something you value instead.

What was the size of your team?
3 people

This is super unique and fun! Really hard, because I'm kinda bad at videogames, but I still managed to get through quite a few levels. Awesome job, very cool use of the theme

Developer

We're glad you enjoyed it! Means a lot to us <3

this is a cool bullet hell the thing that make u locked into a tiles is a unique mechanic. but its pretty hard for me. it open up for some unique challenge but i think the attack its way too force u to go one way if there like different path that would be more interesting. btw its a pretty neat game

Developer(+1)

That's an interesting suggestion, we'll definitely look more into it! Thanks for playing and I'm glad it worked for you!

Background music goes well with the visuals.  Art is great, I like all the pastel colors.  Movement mechanic is creative and fun, but dashing invincibility might be a bit too strong (I completed level 4 and 5 just holding up).

Great job!

Developer

Ah thanks so much! It seems like this is a common issue and we're gonna look into a minor redesign/fix for this!

First off, amazing job. The game is clean and the artwork is fantastic.

Since it seems like you intend to continue this project, I wanted to make one recommendation. The game is on a grid, providing the player with an immediate tactical indicator; however, the game is purely reflex (or pattern/learned) oriented. I would suggest providing a more tactical system for the player to influence their surroundings in order to complete each level/mission.

Developer

Thank you for the informative feedback! Anything helps, and we'll definitely look into this for the future! (Also, credit goes to our hard working artist!)

Really liked the visuals. Some audio would be really beneficial, but I had a lot of fun playing. Great job!

Thank you! T . T , our artist is amazing! Putting audio indicators/more sound design is something that will be added to our list!

Thank you for letting us know! What resolution is your monitor? The game is set to be 1920 x 1080 which is the standard. I'll also take a look into right now in general but more info the better.

my screen resolution is 1366 x 768.

Pushed an update for this fix, game should center on your screen and added ESC toggle option for fullscreen! Thank you for your feedback! Very much appreciated :)

Super cute, fun, and challenging! Love the level design and the idea of mixing a puzzle game with bullet hell. Really made me think hard on these, great job! One note: I didn't realize that moving itself was the dash and there wasn't an extra command to do so, so possibly consider clarifying that in the controls.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for the feedback! And yes, hopefully we can add a beginning menu explaining the controls in future updates! We're glad you enjoyed it :)

A challenging game that's very cute and fun! I think it would've been nice to have a pause button though!

Developer

Thanks! There are quite a few features we want to add, a menu system is going to be high up on the list.

you can skip every level holding w and a. otherwise, the artist did a good job

Developer(+1)

The latest patch should fix that particular issue. Thanks for letting us know, and playing!
