One of my favorites! Here's my first impressions video. 

Developer

Thank you for a video. It is so cool to observe live reactions to the game! Espetially for such a long period of time.

No problem & Congrats on the #2 spot for enjoyment! I think it's well deserved. I think you should have ranked higher overall but being so high for 1 category is already super cool. Great job!

Developer(+1)

It is the best result on Jams I've had so far- so I'll take it haha ))

Submitted

Liked it, hard but fun, kept retrying :)

Developer

Thank you so much

Submitted

High enjoyment for me! Simple and highly polished game.

Developer

Thanks, for the feedback!

Submitted

This was addicting!! Great job!

Easy to learn but hard to master, great music and vfx

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback. Glad you liked it!

I love it! Got to 6th wave nad got 13k points. Very addictive, simple, readable and the music fits perfectly. Good job! I think this game could be published after polishing it. One thing I noticed - the spawn of the enemies sometimes feels a little unfair, especcialy when my ship already has some velocity - sometimes i would bump into them as soon as they spawn

Developer

Thank you a lot for the review and a pretty high score. 
I agree with spawning, could've been better, with some effects signaling where the enemy will spawn, but I am glad you stil were able to have fun wit the game.

A very addictive game! I got hooked for about 25 minutes! My personal record score is 6500 and my fav combo of powerups is Rapid Fire and Spread :)

It would be great to see more perks and maybe more locations, but for a 2-day game jam, it’s an excellent result.
The art is lovely, especially the fx and the music.

Great job, I hope to see this project develop further!

Developer

Wow 25 minutes! Thats so cool, you liked it :)

(1 edit)

wow I like the music and sound effects, feels super retro! And the fact that the spaceship motion continues on its own for a bit, very nice. My fav powerup was the multibullets, super satisfying. Edit, made it to lv 5! 

Developer

I am so happy that some work on movement payed off :)
I'll be honest with you - there are 8 waves in the game, but I haven't played last two of them, haha

Submitted

very nice game, i just love bullet hells!!!! 

Developer

Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it !

Submitted

Cool, but I got stuck on the third wave, the shapes were floating outside the arena on top of the screen

Developer

First of all thank you very much for playing and sharing experience.
Sorry, you got in this state in the game.
It is very unfortunate, but i made a mistake in how spawning calculates for different resolutions. Full screen might help

Submitted

The best part about this game is the polish and all of the effects. It looks super cool overall and it's very juicy. I like the upgrade system a lot and it adds some nice replay ability.

I did however experience the bug where the enemies spawn outside (I was full screened) and got soft locked a few times.

Overall the game loop is very fun and it really carries the other aspects. 

Awesome game!

Developer

Thank you for sharing your experience, I glad you enjoyed it !
Sorry for the bug with spawning, I know it can be annoying. 
I had problems with different resolutions at the end, well that will be a lesson for me to test it out in a build a little earlier :)

Submitted

Art style is good, Music is nice, Effects are also great, the game was a bit laggy, idk if its the browser or the game. Nice Submission. :)

Developer

Thank you for the kind review! Was first time doing particle effects, spent too much time on them :)
If laggy not referencing sounds - that is probably browser.
