Fun and challenging. Easy at the start but the difficulty gets amped up after a while. And the BGM totally matches the vibe.
Maybe a health bar and health powerups can be added to balance the difficulty.
Cool game. Great job!
A very sleek entry. The music and the one bit art style was v cool, also dug the color even if it was subtle. The gameplay was difficult, omg i kept dying after the first few rounds haha. Cute character too, like a space rabbit
The music is awesome, super dynamic, and the art is simple but really stylish.
The difficulty, though, jumps way too fast. The first few waves I can just chill at the bottom and do nothing, and then it suddenly gets real once the spinning enemies show up. The boss fight feels way too tough, too. It'd be way nicer if you could just restart the level after dying instead of going all the way back to the start.
Still, really fun, great job!
Very fun game with simple-but-good visuals and BGM. It feels like there's a bit too big of a difficulty jump when the spinning enemies are introduced, but it's not so much that it feels unfair.
I liked sound effects and this tiny guy!
I disliked that after hit you restart from the start, because first few waves are too easy and slow and then spinning enemies are introduced and difficulty spikes. But it was fun.
Good job! I liked it!
Fun game, personally felt like there was a difficulty jump when the spinning enemies appear since up until that point you can just avoid everything by sitting in a safe spot
Nice waves to introduce enemies and fighting gravity instead of shooting in a bullet hell was neat!
Nice game, I like that bullet hell!
This is slick! I dig the graphics a lot, they're simplistic but very pleasing to look at. I do very much wish you didn't die in one hit and didn't have to restart the entire game over every time you died, especially considering that you can't really speedrun through the first part.
Other than that, great entry!
Great game! Love the simple look and the perfect difficulty-progression. This could easily be expanded upon and released for real
Great game! Love the simple look and the perfect difficulty-progression
Loved the monochrome look, played a bit like a puzzle/bullet-hell hybrid.
Great art and sound! Just wished the game had a checkpoint or lives!
Did not enjoy getting sent back to the beginning. Maybe difficulty levels or add number of lives? Decent presentation.
Start felt a bit boring, but things really ramping up as we get closer to the boss. The boss itself is intense and I really liked it! Too bad all he's doing is turning around. I think letting him move while he's turning would be a great addition to it. Great one!
Pretty solid interpretation of the theme & limitation. I beat the game (I think). The boss and the attack before that were the most difficult parts, since all the other attacks before that can be kind of cheesed once you find "the spot" for each one. Replaying the earlier attacks was kind of boring, a fast forward or skip button would have been nice.
fun game its quite hard and I got annoyed when I spawned all the way at the start but apart from that I found it super fun and straight forward
Good game! The fact that you only have one life and the whole game restarts would make me change it for a jam, but it's a fun challenge, congratulations.
Thanks! The level isn't super long, so if you could respawn from the middle, the whole game gets a little too easy. If I end up adding to the game, I'll obviously add points to respawn from.
Nice game!
