Nice bullet hell, reminded me of Bullet Audyssey! I found the game to be quite easy to beat since it was always alternating between the two colors, more difficult levels (maybe not "Galaxy Collapse"-difficulty) would have been great. Also it would be nice to add song credits to the description so that players who enjoyed them can check them out. I knew the music for level 2 was familiar but I had to use Shazam to find it again :P

The color changing mechanic brought a bit of variety to a regular bullet hell. There were some points where you felt trapped by the grey projectiles but not to the point of frustration. I liked the soundtrack probably the best music in the jam so far. Decent work.
Also not entirely sure but is the game screen and the flame background altogether 64x64?

Robo-Showdown!Fun bullet hell! I love the sprites and animations, definitely made every pixel count. The music was a tad quiet and I think adding some more contrast between the two colors would help a bit, but other than that a very solid game.
Good job to all!

Lion Sleeps TonightThank you for taking your time to try our game!
Right now there are only 3 colors because we wanted to make it simple : having too many colors can confuse player and it would be also difficult to make sense with so many colors in a 64x64 pixels area^^ However I like the idea, maybe for a rework of this game where we delete the area size limitation, it can be cool!
Oh for sure, definitely keep it to 3 colors! I just feel like the two colors the player can switch between and the corresponding bullets were a bit too close to be able to quickly decide which color you should be switched to. I feel making them more distinct colors from one another would make quick decisions in a game like this much easier.
Thanks! And yep velocity will be a way to increase the difficulty (pss at the beginning I wanted to have the music "Galaxy Collapse" in the game, if you know, you know x)) For a gamejam, the game have to be playable and enjoyable for everyone but I would definitely if we keep to development of the game add more difficulties with a painfull velocity ;)
This game is an underrated masterpiece! The music had me jamming and the gameplay was very engaging
Though I wish there were more levels and maybe just a bit more polish in between levels, but otherwise a 10/10 game

Frog ForceVery interesting concept! 💯
I think the music had quite low volume, I hardly heard it.
One nitpick: player’s purple color is different than the one emitted by an orb, therefore I hesitated whether they match to make me invulnerable.

Towers of Survival (PICO-8)Fantastic game - I love the soundtrack, it adds so much to the intensity of the experience!
Gameplay is challenging, but in a way that never felt unfair. Always got a soft spot for bullet hell games :) Once I followed your suggestion and started playing it like a rhythm game I found I took way less damage.
I love your solution to traditional HUD elements taking up space - the single pixel border as health indicator works really well, and makes for a brilliant way to get the most out of the 64x64 maximum.
