Fun game. Liked the respawning element instead of restarting. Difficulty was overall pretty good not too easy and not too hard. Although despite the number of bullets the last guy seemed maybe too easy - don't think I died once.
Graphics were fun and sound was ok.
Thanks for submitting
Impressive game, the hitboxes are very fair, the sfx are nice, the sprites are cute and there are a good variety of enemies, even 3 bosses! My favorite was the third, was able to beat it first try, good job!
Such a cute and fun bullet hell. Loved the concept, you did a great job!
I love the sound effects on this one haha!
I will say this is definitely a very difficult game, and I think it could have been eased into a bit more, something that intuitively forces you to pick-up a flower after shooting it or something in order to make sure the player knows that recharges your meter!
Otherwise, fun game though!
Super bullet hell game : gameplay is cool, visuals are nice, "mouth-made" sounds are fun. Great job on this game.
This is a bullet hell game, utilizing the sh*tpost theme to its fullest extent.
It's competently made and of an acceptable length. Does that mean bullet hells are easy to make? I'm not sure. It's also the only bullet hell I've seen in this jam.
These are some things for you to ponder between now and January. You must continue to learn and grow.
Enjoyed the game. The sfx of this game was a chuckle, nice. I enjoy myself a good bit of bullet hell.
Suuuuuuuuuuuu~
Hardest boss in the game was the 2nd, the rest are more predictable :D.
I like the sun and corrupted flowers aspect. I like that the flowers have different sprites when purifying and after being purified. It was also a good idea that collecting them gave additional energy as well as points. It was nice that the game was forgiving in that you get 3 hits before having to restart the level (and lose points).
I found that the toughest combination of enemies to deal with were ones that encroach on your space and fire upon you at the same time. I think that the non-boss waves were fairly balanced - I wasn't overwhelmed with too many firing enemies, but I still had to keep focusing to avoid being hit. As for the bosses, this is how difficult I found them:
Generally, having to deal with multiple patterns simultaneously made the fights more difficult. However, I never felt that it was unfair at any point when I died, and only that I needed to use the arena's space more effectively. As such, I think the difficulty was fairly balanced throughout.
Sound effects were quite good - Did you make the "beam" sound effect yourself? The artwork and colour scheme were good too. The dark void of space really helps makes the sprites stand out! The only thing I wasn't certain about was the effect of the powerups. Overall, it was a difficult but still fair game.
A sunny, but occasionally hellish bullet-hell game.
One of my favorite submissions! Great work.
Really nice game, very funny and sometimes a little bit difficult!
Keep it up!
Best audio 10/10 no notes!
I like really the graphics. Its so cute but the game (boss fight) is quite difficult for me.
Nice. Loved the audio!
Really fun! Would like the sun to move a bit quicker
fun game, great vibe!
Fun game
Love the art, graphical and audio.
I think there's something up with the start button though, it takes me a long time to click past it, it expands but does nothing when clicked then eventually works (I'm on Firefox)
coolest sun
