Did you work in a team?
I worked alone. It was alot of fun!

Was the resolution a challenge?
The camera movement was a tough challange but I solved it by making the player always in the middle so it wont be jittery.

What did you learn?
I entered the jam to prototype new ideas quickly and hopefully if they turn out well and have potential then to keep working on them and improve them.

Congratulations on making this game ! I've played your game during a live that you can watch here :

The live is timestamped so you can go directly to your game.

I hope the feedback and live reactions will be useful. Keep it up !

The concept is very nice! I've seen it before, but it doesn't matter. Nice art and polish, would be better with some sounds.

Took me a while, busy life, but well your idea is hella original, the gameplay is super fun (for sure can be turned into a mobile game) screen shake adds a good felling when deflecting, but not sure if its a bug but the game had no audio for me though

Cute! Simple and satisfying.

Screen shake at this resolution was very jarring.
Also deflecting bullets and getting hurt looked identical so it could be a little confusing.

Otherwise the gameplay was ok, though I think a little feedback like some blood or death animations could have made killing enemies a lot more satisfying.

Possibly a few simple power-ups could have made things a lot more interesting too.

Great fun - fast paced and frenetic, especially once my score started creeping higher! 

Really strong art style, and very readable even with the quick movement and low res. 

Managed to get a score of 48 :)
