Very solid as a jam game! Quick rounds and the randomization provides a level of replayability not unlike what the big boys can offer. The presentation is minimal, however, to be sure.

Really enjoy the random experience! But felt confused at first about what damages lives. Maybe just a little more hints like sounds or visual differences when got hurt.  

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!

And yes, there is a missing feedback on life management

Visuals are nice sound is great game is a lil short but normal I guess for a jam good job

Developer

Yes the game is very short ;)

I really like the idea of randomized challenges to go through. Feels very fun.

Would be nice to have challenges not repeat, so you can experience all the variety in one go.

I think getting hit requires some audio or visual feedback, like a screenshake, simple animation (either on the player or on the health meter) or even just a simple "beep"-like sound :)

Even though the graphics are very simple, they fit perfectly with the idea and music.

Overall had a fun time playing it. Good job on releasing your game! :)

Thank you for your comments! 

Yes, for the damage, we got a lot of feedback on this one. It just lacks a little FeedBack to warn the player.

Regarding the random levels, I can understand you. the levels can be the same 

I am very happy that you like our game.

Very fun game! I liked the randomized difficulty but it often leads to a too easy  or too hard level. Anyway, i really enjoyed it!

Developer

thank you for your feedback! 

Yes, since it's full random it's often the case. There is no balancing ;)

It reminded me of Just Shapes & Beats! Had a blast playing your game, I really enjoyed that there are different tracks too :D

Developer

Thank you for your comments! 

Hahahah! I'm glad you enjoyed it ;)

Nice game... waaaay too easy!

I think the "roll the dice" bit was the lucky at the start, right? 

Nice to finish a game though! Good job :)

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! 

the levels and difficulties are given randomly as well as the life numbers. so you were lucky ;)

I enjoyed the gameplay. I failed the first game but I managed a victory in the second play.

Developer

luck is part of the game ;)

wario ware vibes in this one! fun microgames madness! i liked the art style too! Nice work!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback!

exactly! it looks a lot like the game of wario ware ^^

Nice game!

I would recommend you to add a flashing lights warning. Specially during the bomb fases, they get very flashy. I don't have any health problem regarding flashing light and it bothered me, I could only imagine someone suffering from that and landing on the bomb fase unaware..

Developer

thank you for your feedback!

We take note

Very nice implementation of the theme! Like people have already said, it could use some feedback when you take damage but overall enjoyable!

Developer

thank you very much for your feedback!

And yeah the damage ... XD

Nice bullet hell game! If the projectiles are perfectly synced with the music (I know which is quite impossible to do in 2 days) I believe it'd be a good selling game!

As others have said before, lack of damage feedback is the only thing that bugged me in this game.

One of my favorite so far!

Developer

thank you for your feedback!

It's a good idea to synchronize the music with the projectiles. We hadn't thought about it ;) 

And for the damage yes... it's sad but we took note for the next time.

Thanks, we're glad you liked it !

Okay so my point of view;

First of all, nice entry. Game is fun, gameplay is cool. SFX are well chosen, I liked the whole random/alea feel. Well done !

What it lacks more is feedback. When I get hurt (screen shake for example), when I start...adding easy animations could have really improved the overall feeling.

Nonetheless, well done !

Hey! thanks a lot for your feedback and we take note ;) 

The damage management we didn't improve enough because of the time. We focused more on the levels and difficulties 

Submitted(+2)

Understandable, of course! Time is an issue and we have to deal with it, that's perfectly okay!

Submitted(+2)

easy, but quite fun

Developer

Thanks
Yes, the balancing is pretty hard to manage

Very fun to play with a fitting sound track. 

Developer

thanks, good tecno music with dynamic levels ^^

cool concept, love the randomness incorporated with classic minigame ideas.  Reminds me of the Undertale/Deltarune bullet hell system.

Developer(+1)

Thank you!
Yes, that was the goal 
Undertal +1 ;)
