Hey I really liked your game and if you like to read them here are some things that could be improved(obviously just my own opinion):

- a health bar for the boss enemy( i was never sure when I beat it),

- asteroids seemed as if they were obstacles :D (I think this was already mentioned in a comment)

- a indictor on how many bombs i have left would have been amazing,

- obviously more content(not your fault, i just want to play more :D)

good job on this

oh, I haven't thought of a hp bar, nice idea! bombs cost you 500 points so you can use them until you run out of points for now, but it'll change. enemy types and patterns, maybe I'll get some ideas sometime :) Thanks for playing!

I have some problems with the signaletics (thought I needed to avoid the asteroids) and the difficulty (enemy waves are too hard to clear and dodge at the same time), but overall it is a good game. Well done !

Developer

yeah, I haven't played a lot of bullet hell games before so I didn't know how to adjust the difficulty. I may do something about it after the jam. Thanks for playing!

Great job with the polish! It's like Space Invaders but with more bullethell. It did feel a bit odd that the enemies didn't scale along with me leveling, so the difficulty curve felt inverted (most challenge was at the beginning before leveling up). Really fun!

Developer

I haven't thought  about that! Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing!

Nicely polished, contained game! It seems like you knew exactly what scope would fit the 48h limit. Same as everyone, I was dodging the asteroïds xD 

Developer

Thanks for playing! I really appreciate all the compliment! I'm having some ideas for the asteroids. I'll do something as soon as the jam is over :)

Super cool! However the asteroids are not working i dont know if that was intentional or a bug.

Developer

oh they are just background. are they too distracting?

yeah kinda

Developer

i lowered their alpha a little. if they are still annoying, i'll remove them after the jam. thanks for the feedback!
