- The audio and visuals for this game were extremely well done, unfortunately the fun factor was diminished for me a bit because the game is entirely too easy. Picking up the powerups your character becomes way too powerful way too quickly. At max power you can stay still on the right side of the screen just holding the fire button and you'll never take damage and kill everything before it comes on screen. For a first game this is very impressive, and I think it could be really great if a little extra attention was paid to balancing
- Cool shoot em up. I wish I could go fullscreen tho, playing with such a small resolution on a 4K screen is really really small

Beautiful game! I love the pixel art. It's simple but tricky to play. I was wondering if someone would do Orpheus.
If the game ends with him looking back I will have feelings.
Thank you very much for your feedback and kind words :)
I think I should have make it more obvious that only Eurydice as an hitbox for enemy bullets, and probably give the boss a lower firerate.
The art is fantastic! It's also fun to play but I think it could use some balancing tweaks. The basic enemies are trivial once I have the final attack upgrade and the last boss leaves no openings though I did manage to beat it.
Thank you for playing, and congratulations for beating the game ! \o/
I struggled a bit with how to set the difficulty for the game. I tried to give plenty of healing items to make up for it, and technically there’s some safe spots during the boss fight, but I agree that they are not very simple to notice in the middle of the action. Thank you for this feedback, I’ll try to think this through better on my next project :)
Nice and difficult game! The sound effects and the art style are very fitting and the gameplay is fun.
Thank you for playing and for your feedback :)
This game was a blast! Smooth controls, strong visuals, and very consistent style. Nice work!
Thank you ! Glad you had a good time with it :)
