Even though our games share the same genre, they sit quite on the opposite side of the spectrum. Yours is fast paced,  dark, hard  & unforgining. I like your take on it.  Wish I could survive a little longer to see more of the great graphics. Luckily your screenshots show a lot of them, your artist(s?) did really well!

Pretty cool game a bit hard, but the gameplay is fluid and pleasant. The pixelart is sobre but very elegant and don't overload the game visually~

the game would be significantly more playable if it used scancodes instead of keycodes, or if arrow-keys were allowed for movement, or if it had controller support at all, so that i could play without having to reach all the way across the keyboard to reach your chosen movement keys

aside from the playability issues, the game looks pretty great. i’d definitely look into touching up the fonts used on the continue/quit buttons, but yeah it’s nice

Hi, thanks for the feedback! We’ve just posted an update for the game that adds a keybinds menu, and we’ve temporarily changed the buttons while we think about how they can fit the aesthetic and be comfortable to read

I love this game! Amazing choice of tools too! Feels really good playing it and the team got a lot done over the 3 days. Great work and it felt like a fully completed game. Made me think of the old days.

A fun game with an interesting take on the limitation. 8.5/10

Woah, everything in this game is truly exceptional for a  jam game! Art, sound, and gameplay are all polished to the moon, and everything just comes together so nicely! Only complaint I have would be that I'd like some sort of indicator for when you take damage, so that I'm able to tell without looking at the healthbar. Other than that, the game is tough, but fair, and definitely possible with enough time. Congratulations to everybody on the team for working together to make something so epic!

Thank you! We’re planning some UI improvements for the near future, hopefully, so we’ll keep this in mind :)

There is something really tactical about the revenge bullets, and the visuals are great to boot.

EDIT: I noticed how many people made this game and gave it another go, got to the angels and damn this is fun.

I really enjoyed it although that final wave is pretty brutal, it has really good art, some pretty cool and unique mechanics, and is just really fun to play

Very very polised! The art is absolutely beautiful and i enjoyed blowing up the enemies over and over, Sadly i didnt manage to get very far, but from what i played this game has a TON of potential post-jam!

This game looks stunning! The visuals are amazing, and the visual contrast between bullets, Reaper,  and enemies helps with navigating the Reaper!

Admittedly - and this might just be me - I felt like the game was a bit difficult. I struggled to stay alive to charge the special attack bar, which I only managed to pull off once. Sometimes I also wasn't sure whether I could avoid shooting an enemy (and therefore avoiding their revenge bullets) since some enemy types seemed to have different movement patterns.

Still, this game was very enjoyable, the brief intro at the beginning alongside the visuals and sound did make it quite immersive!

Hi, thanks for the feedback! The game is pretty difficult, so we are working on some plans for making it a bit fairer in the future :)

Just to clarify the enemy movement patterns, they were drawn manually by the level designers in Godot, so they do not depend on the type of enemy. Also, revenge bullet patterns are determined by the type of weapon the player is using

This game is really amazing, the core mechanic perfectly fits the limitation, and the art is truly beautiful. The game is super fun to play, though I think the difficulty might be a bit high, I'm not great at these kinds of games so I'm not totally sure. Very well-made game!
