Can't believe there's a third bullet hell in this jam. I must be in heaven (bullet heaven?) The game is fun with the difficulty needed for a bullet hell. Music is funky and cool to listen to, and the UI looks really nice too. A bit too much text, though. Biggest issues I think for me is that you can't even destroy any enemy in the game, so why even bother to have a shoot button? Feels a bit weird when shooting changes with the powerups, but it's doing absolutely nothing. But regardless, I still think the game is good enough and fun to play, so I guess that's the only thing that matters.
Other things I like:
- Bullet patterns are amazing
- Complex score system that encourages better gameplay
Suggestions:
- Consider using QWER or something similar for the powerups. I know you could rebind them, but having them so far away from anything makes it almost impossible to use in a pinch (which, is always the case in a bullet hell)
- Health and other displays is too small to be read when you are focusing on the shooting
- it's a bit awkward when you can't go too to the right. Considering allowing tropy's body going off screen for that
- Some sound effects for taking damage, shooting and power-ups would be great
