Would be nice to have screen a little bigger, because sometimes ghosts just show up under you and character not fast enough to dodge it :) But overall nice and funny idea!

Submitted

Very creative idea. Loved that my own bullet can kill me. Implemented the "loop" pretty well into the game. Good job

Submitted

This is a brilliant idea! Love having to be careful with my shots. Really well done!

Woah, I wasn't sure what "objects looping to the other side of the screen" mean, and it surprised me. Unlike other games of this type, this one makes you take actions carefully in order to make game easier on later stages. You have to slow down and be more precise. It's simple, enjoyable and quite addictive :D

I like the idea of a self-created bullet hell. The player didn't feel mobile enough to dodge bullets once you had a couple zooming past on screen.  The game also crashes when you get hit by 2 bullets at the same time. Otherwise, I liked the art and the game was pretty fun to play around with!

always love a game about getting wizards to pay their taxes. Very neat

sorry, game doesn't run on my (old) computer. :-(

I like that bullets you fired can be obstacles, so you need to aim each shot carefully. Got a good variety of enemy types too.

I found the best strategy is to stay at the middle and shoot whatever is coming towards the player, so you might want to add a new type of enemy that prevents camping

really fun gameplay, also small thing but great thumbnail

I love the theming of this game, title + out-of-game narrative is awesome. Game itself is really fun too, I think its really interesting how your own bullets can kill you, it adds its own layer of difficulty honestly in a good way. Definitely underrated and Im very happy that I found this
