The game is simple and fun. Bullets passing through walls was the major thing that threw me off but it flows well and the music was cool to hear change as you collected more orbs.

I appriciate everything with dynamic soundtrack but the game was too hard and my projectals do not go to the point where the crosshair is so it’s hard to hit even a standin enemy.

Your game looks and sounds great! I love dynamic music, and I think the idea of having the music getting fuller as you reach your goal is really cool. There was a lot of button mashing though, having it auto fire may have made it a little less tedious.

Really fun game! The minimalist art style with the bullet swarm and cube like foes really makes this game fun for me.  While it can be hard to tell the hitbox of an enemy sometimes, I really  enjoyed fighting the massive surge of bullets to build up the music in the game and then sit back once done and listen to the sweet tunes you guys created! Great game and good luck in the jam! ︎♋

Fun game! I really like bullet hell type game and it was fun to build up the music by destroying ennemies. I would be fun to have way to compare score maybe and having the difficulty scale up over time.

I love these kinds of shooters. And I think you pulled this one of pretty well! I like the minimalist graphics and color scheme and the controls are responsive as well. Though at the beginning I got a little bit confused on what I was supposed to be doing, eventually when I understood it ended up being really fun and engaging. This take on the theme was also extremely innovative, and you did a fantastic job incorporating music into this.

The only things I would note is that it's really easy to get overwhelmed in the beginning. A bunch of enemies can spawn all of a sudden and the next thing you see is a blizzard of bullets. You could smooth out the difficulty curve over time by slowly increasing the interval at which enemies spawn the longer the player goes. Also, it would be nice for the game to shoot when I'm holding down the mouse button rather than spam clicking since I'm terrible at clicking fast.

All in all this is a great submission and take on the theme! You got some good stuff going and I think this will do pretty well!
