It seemed to glitch slightly towards the end ( I could still hit the eclipse god after it was defeated), but other than that WOW I LOVE IT! The sun/moon mecanic is really fun, and Ireally love the character design.

Very fun game. I like how fast you can get the Sun/Moon by swinging it around. Nice work.

Bleep Bloop Power BotThe character designs are absolutely superb. Also, the moon ball feels very satisfying to throw.

Impaled with you (GMTK 2021)Awesome art. Loved the bullet hell patterns as well. The concept was neat but because death wasn't really a penalty, you could basically just swing the sun without ever needing to switch to the moon, and as a result your strategy for every boss pretty much remains the same. Still though, for what the game is, it's rather good and an awesome job for a game jam entry.

PaddlegroundXKlypsia had my deaths reaching double digits.
Great game, loved the art and music and a cool concept spin on the clasic touhou project.
all around great work!

Magneto BotsThe art for this game was very fitting and lovely. The music was very fitting for the intense battle that was going on. The concept was great too. Sun blocks the sun bullets and moon blocks the moon bullets. However, I saw no real incentive of dodging the bullets. You could take all of the hits and nothing would happen to you. Nevertheless, good job :)

Invisible TetherExcellent art! The music was great and fit the feeling really nicely! A fun take on a classic bullet hell. It was nice to play around with techniques, though I didn't really understand how to use 'e' and just made the ball circle around me by doing little circles with 'wasd' in order over and over but it was still quite quite fun! I really liked the bits of dialogue that the bosses say too and would love to get more dialogue from the main character! Great job!

TreematesDamn I'm struggling with bullet hell genre. They are fun, but sooooo hard! Great work work with the style and the music was a good match! The second bosses ramping the difficult a bit too high for me. :)

Boss BreederVery cool game with a very good introduction. I don' know if it was my browser, but the music was twitching as soon as the game was loading something.

Marry me...Very cool take on the bullet hell genre! Love it when a mechanic has multiple purposes (blocking bullets as well as damaging the enemy). And the artwork and music are fantastic too!
I think my one nitpick is that it's a bit hard to get the ball going at the start of the level...maybe there could be some downtime or initial momentum at the start?
Overall, great work!

Connect them all!Very fun to swing the sun and moon around, but very difficult to get it going with the ice bullets

ArkajoinedWow, the art is in this game is so gorgeous!
The gameplay is super satisfying too! Really fun to get a good swing going and then just launch that sucker and send it flying! I do wish the throws more consistently kept momentum when they came back to me, so I didn't have a several second struggle of trying to get another spin built up, but overall, really really fun, and a really awesome entry! Great work!

Out in the ColdAt first I thought it was great art but much not of a game. Then I realized I'm dumb and that I missed the E key, which put the entire thing on another level. Smart concept and you can tell talented folks put a lot of effort into this.

The Bomb That Brings Us TogetherThat's a really fun game! The jump in difficulty from boss 1 to 2 felt like a bit much, but otherwise, it was great, also wonderful presentation!
Submitted
Entangled (GMTK 2021)OK, I am definitely jealous of the art design. The mechanism works great well done on that. The only thing there is no punishment for "Dying". So my strategy was just to spin and it works. Maybe a health bar? and then it restarts level?

Chained ArenaThanks for your comment! We thought about giving the player a maximum number of lives, but everyone's got a different level of familiarity with bullet hells, so to make the game more inclusive we decided to just count the number of deaths instead, like in games like Celeste. If you'd like an additional challenge, try to pass each level with the least number of lives used.
