I really enjoyed the game! The art is super solid and the game feels polished. This would be something you see made from Nitrome in the days of flash games. Fantastic work and I love the variety of enemy types!

Pretty nice game and aesthetics!
Only addition i may add is how "uncomfortable" it is to have to roll onto the upgrades to efficiently pick them up, but i loved having different kinds of enemies to face and whatnot!

VectorizedThis game is great! It's a pretty standard top-down shooter, but the level of polish and the dodge roll coup de grace mechanic kept it fun to play. I kinda wish that the shooting and dodge roll weren't locked to the 8 directions (have you tried having your mouse position decide the direction you roll in?) so that I had more control. Now that I think about it, I imagine the mouse controlling the dodge wouldn't feel great, but it still feels a bit off regardless. Anyway, great game, thanks for making it!

The Witches BoxAmazing game! Super polished with a lot of variety. It was challenging but not too frustrating, well done!

Multiverse Madness!The cool game would like an option to shoot other than LMB because I am using a touchpad but I like the aesthetics and sound.

HyperEscapeYeah, it helped a lot. I did not notice it the first time, sorry about that. I got 155 which is better than 15 with the touchpad. I really like the game and it is so much fun. The only changes I would suggest is adding an indicator that the enemy is going to spawn at a certain point like enter the gungeon and have an arrow to indicate where the nearest enemy to the player to located to give me a sense of where I dodge to so I have as much open space to fight back
The second Best Game I have Seen in this Jam ! I personally loved it playing full of gamejuice!
pls rate my game also : https://itch.io/jam/scorejam13/rate/1045688

DodgonixCool game! It fits the theme perfectly. The difficulty ramps up nicely so you can get used to the movement and all. I really like the artstyle and the overall esthetics. I would have loved to see some kind of upgrade as time goes on!
Congrats for your entry!

Dodge the bulletBoth visually well done and fun to play, this game does a good job of encouraging the player to utilize all the mechanics offered by having the squids taken down only by dodging through them. Far too often can twin-stick shooters be played sufficiently just by shooting, so hats off to you.
Great work, and good luck! :D
