Usually I just stick to the same spot in a bullet hell game, but your take on it forces me to travel across the screen as if I'm doing objectives while dodging bullets. I love how the theme enabled you to come up with an elegant solution for a problem I had with this genre :)

Against the CluckI had so much fun with this one! I really enjoyed the gameplay and the music. Not sure if I’m just bad at it but it felt really hard for me. I lost so many times but I still had a great time playing.
If you have time, can you check out our game as well?

Every Room RememberGot scared for a moment, I thought there were only two levels but didn't read the text :))))
Love this concept! Will you continue it in the future?

The Groundhog MechanismReally neat idea with circling the enemies to destroy them. It's really not the kind of game I play normally, so I was really impressed with how you introduced the controls and GUI during the play. It was too hectic for me to read the text, but I grasped the shield stuff immediately, very impressive.

Loopy the CatReally nice little game! I love that you sticked to super simple graphics, it works really well and reminds old arcade games. The gameplay is fun, the sound design is perfect for the style. I missed a bit of 8bit music! Also, maybe the default difficulty is too easy? The first run wasn't really challenging. Well done overall!

Moo Moo RanchOut of the many "draw a loop" games I saw, this one is the most unique I'd say. Everything is cool here, the effects of the enemies, the music and the sudden pitch shift (did you record the boss laugh at the end yourself?). Also mad respect for taking effort into making the tutorial, and not just writing controls in the game desc!!!
edit: nevermind I read where the boss voice is from

VirottoThis was delightful. The bullet hell mechanics weren't too punishing and I loved the inclusion of the shield. I kinda gave up on the boss, I didn't feel like I was making progress after killing the enemies twice. So I circled him and then died (which was great)

Mini TrainsLove the aesthetic and the gyrating vertices - it looks really unique and suits the music well. The multi-stage enemies are a great idea and I also really like the boss and shield/draw mechanics. This is remarkable for such a short jam!

Riddle RacerThat was super fun! I played the game on the hardest difficulty and couldnt put it down!
great game concept to fit the theme also!

Groundhog SlayI'm glad you enjoyed it and were able to beat the hard difficulty! Fun fact, that used to be the "normal" difficulty during development but I realized it would be way too hard. I also wanted to add some fun achievements or a sudden death mode to reward a zero hit run but, alas, that would have been too much scope.
Damn that's like black powder from TBOI but made into entire game... and actually pretty fun

JEFF's worldgreat job! It was nice to play a little more chill of a bullet hell game, being able to take brakes by just not looping was very nice.
