This game was great, love a good bullet-hell style game in gameboy fashion.  This is definitely a game that I would spend hours at the arcade playing if I was a kid again.  Amazing title screen art, you were able to so clearly capture the main character in all of their glory.

this was very exciting! quite difficult at first but pretty satisfying, the power up system was also clever, very inspiring!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked it!

Well made game.. I liked everything, from graphics and animations to music and sounds..
And really feels like a Game Boy game..
The only thing that I missed was a way to pause the game, but it's ok..

Congratulations on this game and for participating..

Developer

I totally forgot to add that in! Haha. Pausing will be added in an update. Thank you for playing the game!

Liked your game alot. Especially the look is great. Just seeing some screenshots and you could believe its an real old gameboy-game.

Developer

Wow, a very nice shmup. It is like Solar Striker in harder.

Thank you for playing!

Playing this game really brought me back to when I was younger playing the little vertical scrolling plane shooting games! But something about it being a giant bird really refreshing and felt like a whole new game.

I really enjoyed seeing how far I could get while dodging all the enemies attacks and watching the bird flap his wings!

Here is a little game play video from me earlier today :D

If there is one thing more I would like to see it would be a score! I would battle my friends for a hi-score any day in this game!

Overall I really like the style of this game and would love to see more! :D

Developer

Wow, thank you so much for sharing the video of you playing it! Also, thank you so much for your feedback! We were planning on having score, but ran out of time, sadly. We'll definitely be fleshing out this game!

Ofcourse! Have a video is so helpful for feedback. The little things that you miss in text you can see in how the player reacts or what they are trying to do. I would love to play every game and record my gameplay but there are so many games this year! XD

I feel you on time! It's always creeping up at the last min but yeah very solid idea you have here can't wait to see more :D

this is very classy and was very fun

just trying to survive until the end was pretty challenging 

Developer

Thank you for playing!

This is sick! The setting is really epic. 
It's a bit of a shame about the mixels, if you can slap on a pixel perfect camera for the post jam version it will really add to the gameboyness.

I'd also like to see some sort of dodge move. 

But otherwise very impressive for a gamejam game!

This is so cool!! Really lovely submission! I'd love to see a version of this with more vertical resolution, maybe a wonderswan port? :)

Nice shmup with great art, music, and enemy design. I love the style you've got going on there. Also feels very legit as a GB game.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you like it!

absolutely lovely graphics!! don't think i've seen a top down shmup with birds before, awesome concept

Developer

Thank you so much!

Great pixel art, and the music sounds very GameBoy. It reminded me of Terra Cresta (when the player turns into a Phoenix). Very solid stuff.

Developer

Thank you so much! This was a fun project!

Submitted(+1)

Gorgeous pixel art! Also love the enemy designs, especially the manticore-like beings. The music is also cool, great job!

Developer

Thank you so much! We were going back and forth on a lot of different enemy types. Hopefully we can add in more designs in the future! Glad you liked it!

Absolutely beautiful work! The approach to dithering is so strikingly stylized. It reminds me of woodblock prints, which adds such a strong mood to this game!

Developer

Thank you so much! We put a lot of work into the visuals. We tried really hard to mimic the tile limitations of the original Gameboy hardware! Thanks again for playing!

I really liked the enemy variety and different pickups! This was a nice lil' SHMUP!

Love it! Nice entry!
Beautiful visuals and it feels really good to shot at that flying fiends with a fire bird.

Developer

Thank you so much!
