This game had a strong cyberpunkish aesthetic in mind and really did well achieving that! The music and graphics made it feel polished and made simply looking at and hearing the game enjoyable. There's a few bugs (which you actually pointed out while I was streaming haha), and I feel like maybe there could be some more weapon variety or a few more moves the player can do (like a dash or double attack or something) but this was an excellent entry :)

Amazing game loved the concept it was executed really well! but I did experience some issues like sometimes the timer would suddenly have more time but tick down quicker which was weird and the boss died pretty quickly due to all the enemies shooting at it while I was running around it, though it felt really cool to deflect all the bullets being shot at me back even though I had no clue where they were coming from so great job on the game just needs a little polish!
Game looked great, and the music was awesome! (I also love hitting the bullets back at the enemies). The only downside is that it's really hard to kill enemies without getting shot. Some sort of dodge or hit-stun mechanic would've been really nice.
Decent! I like how the core gameplay is simple and you can jump right into it without too much difficulty. I notice that the rotation on the player character sprite was a bit funky for me, but otherwise, looks like a solid one! Great job!
Very cool game! I feel like a synthwave samurai when I dodge a bullet. I like the twist on a bullet hell where the main character doesn't use bullets, but his sword. Other than that a spawn animation would be a nice addition for the enemies. A simple smoke effect with the unity particles system would be amazing!
Please check out my game too. It also is pixel art! I think you might like it.
A very fun and polished game! I absolutely love the soundtrack and the ability to deflect projectiles with a sword. The art style is really nice and simple. It was a bit too difficult for me. There is also a small bug that happends when you go back to the room you've already completed (screenshot below). Overall a very well done game, keep it up!
If you have a minute, please check my game too :)
Good work. Simple but effective. Gfx is good, maybe just need more chaotic element
I love it!!!
Very fun and innovative....and hard :DDD
The best game I played from this jam.
I loved the vaporwave style and the music was awesome. Some criticisms I do have, is that it is a bit too hard, and combat is a bit lacking. Other than that, it was pretty solid.
Cool concept! I think this game has a potential, all it needs is textures and some variety in gameplay! Good Joob mate!
Hey. Good game, but i dont really like the sound effect for the sword hitting. it could be more satisfying. Also, you have multiple game files in your directory. That is not good, but also not that bad :)
Would be awesome if you could play & rate my game aswell! Thank you, tiimo :3
Fun game, loved the visuals, but theres a bug where the counter will exponentially go up if you re-enter the first room after unlocking room 2.
It's also very easy to cheese the game by using 1 thick walls, as you can hit enemies and their bullets through them, making the game super easy.
Other then that, I loved this game, the concept is pretty unique.
Keep up the good work! :)
