  • This is a tightly put together little game. I think the art and music is very fitting all around. The only complaint I have with the art I have is when you get hit several times really quick, the switching from positive to negative is really eye straining especially since the game is full screen. I think something that would be a good addition as well is some more colors, especially for the different objects flying at you. The different size helps differentiate them a little, but when they're flying so fast and with so many it can be easy to lose track of what's what. Overall though, really solid job.
  • The game is comically hard even at easy, I don't see how it's humanly possible to see if what's coming is an arrow or health before it reaches you, specially coming from under or over. I didnt try harder than easy, easy was already ridiculously hard, even tho I had a big HP bar, it mostly felt random since I had 0 time to react.

Great overall game. One thing I think would've been cool, if you've ever played Undertale and remember the Undyne fight (both pacifist and genocide) there are attacks where the arrows Are moving quite slow, but there are a LOT of them. Something like that would work well here, I think.

A surprisingly difficult game, but also very fun! Really had to focus on the hard difficulty

Though it does get quite disorientating, but that may just be my computer being bad and giving me 5 fps sometimes
