  • Great gem and simple loop!
  • Unique take on the bullet hell genre but could benefit from more upgrade variety!

How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
Typically, it's considered player error to be hit by enemy projectiles. In this game, it's considered a feature. We leaned into the chaos with fast-paced gameplay, and transformed a typical gameplay error (being hit by enemies) into a core gameplay loop.

great game, one thing is it felt very repetitive, as in i kept losing the exact same amount i was gaining so felt as if i wasn't winning or losing

WOW this game is pretty polished the art and game feel was top notch! I did play this for quite a while and it was addicting! A couple things I thought I mention from my play through. The game feels maybe too easy once you get your upgrades and some levels the drones will kill everything and there was no skill/ everything died so fast I wasnt sure what happend. Other than that this was awesome!

Thank you! If we had an additional day to work on this, the game design balance would be the main thing we'd tackle. We made some tweaks to the wave scaling last second and might have overcorrected. Thanks again for playing and leaving some feedback!

Great art style, and really interesting mechanic.  I did the tutorial and unless I was missing something, progress is super slow.

Developer

Thanks for playing and leaving some feedback. Ya, we tweaked a bunch of of the game's balance right before we submitted, and might have wound up overcorrecting. We wanted to ease people into the chaos, but it might wind up being a bit too slow for some.

I had never seen a mechanic where you catch the enemy's attacks and throw them back like that, I thought it was incredible. The art is beautiful, and the gameplay is really fun.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to play!

Great game with great art and sound! Gameplay at earlier waves becomes somewhat tedious, but rapidly speeds up. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play. Agree the earlier rounds might be a bit too slow paced for some, but also wanted to make sure people ease into the gameplay. Appreciate the feedback!
