I liked the colors and aesthetics in the game, and that it doesn't make me motion sick at all :) Kudos for making this for the game jam.

Cool idea, though I just kinda stopped shooting cause it didnt feel like it mattered, just focused on dodging things.  Honestly a bullet hell style thing where you just dodge with your hands could be neat.  Visually it all looked cool though, and the boss fight was neat, good job!

Man idk whats up with my itch comment box lately, but the formatting is so inconsistent lol

Really great retro arcade vibe! And who doesn't love shooting stuff in VR :-) Overall it seemed very polished. Well done!

However, I kept having a problem with the gun being stuck facing a weird direction. The first two times I launched the game it was facing backwards, and I couldn't shoot anything. On my third try, it was just kind pointing maybe 20 degrees to the left, and I was able to successfully play. (I was on a Quest 3 using Steam Link)

Cool visual and haptics

Cool! Very nice visuals and aesthetic, especially the boss fight. I don't know how it fits the theme of the jam exactly but I like it. The VR hand bullet hell genre is good, though I'd prefer faster bullets/less bullet sponge enemies. I like the music too. The bullet shoot sound got a little grating though.

Nice boss fight! :)

Hi there! The boss-fight was really cool haven’t played a VR game like that before. Hope other players do try it and don’t miss it.

I played your submission during my stream you can watch the playthrough here https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2384636708?t=01h33m53s

I had some trouble with the gun orientation not aligning with my hand properly and had some trouble understanding the rules of the game exactly (what do I hit on the enemies? should I dodge with my head/body or is my hitbox the gun? etc).

And cool a e s t h e t i c s, kinda synthwavey (❤️)
