One of the best I've played so far!
I kept planing ahead an shooting less bullets as possible so I didn't made things hard and could still kill every monster, even like this it has a great difficulty curve and I had fun. You did great!

Woah this is so good! Even though I suck and this is really difficult I think this concept is so cool.

All For OneYeah!! This is soo cooool! A lot of juice and everything. Plus it's a bullet hell so extra points. If only it were portable...on android XD Can't have it all I guess. How did you get so many people to rate your game so quickly?

Cards of LoopThank you very much! I do have experience with porting games to Android, so maybe I could? Really depends on how much people would be interested, it would require a ton of optimization though.
As for the ratings, I don't really know how nor why, but that makes me super happy to see people playing and liking my game!
Wow! This game is wicked fun! I can only get to level 4 but I just want to keep playing!
All the animations are extremely fluid, movement feels satisfying and predictable, bullet bounces are fast, but fair, the music and sfx are top notch, and the graphics are phenomenal! Additionally, the core gameplay is innovative, fun, and satisfying. I really can't say enough good things about this game.
My only complaint is that if you are standing where your previous self fired a bullet, you can be killed by that bullet. It's an extremely minor, but somewhat grating annoyance I've found.
Keep making games!

Cube RunnerThank you so much for such a nice comment! I can't tell you how much that means!
And yeah, getting killed by your ghosts when you're on top of them was a tough choice to make. It used to not be the case, but then I let a friend test my game and he found a way to stay alive forever by just standing still for the entire game or camping in a corner, since your ghost couldn't kill you this way it made the game insanely easy.
I did add the 3rd enemy after that, which shoots bullets directly at the player when killed, to furthermore prevent this cheesy technique, so maybe now I can go back to the ghosts not being able to kill you if you're standing right on them, it's something I'll definitely need to experiment with!
Sorry for the little annoyance, I really hope this didn't make your experience with the game bad, and thank you for the feedback!
Love this entry! I'm incredibly bad at it though. But this is some real high quality work.

Remembrance of a Cerealized ManThis is just really good. it's... just that good.
concept is innovative, visual is fun, and no matter how I try the battlefield turns into a complete chaos really quick. I had a good chuckle when the shot I made at the initial loop straight up killed me 5 loop later without even bouncing, because I completely forgot about it and jumped right in front of it.
It's the kind of game that you find online and catches your eye, then end up spending good chunk of your free time because you immediately start investing your effort into it, trying to reach higher score than previous run.

"ring buffer" (b&w jam 8 submission)Ah, this is the most polished game I've played so far. I really enjoyed this a lot. Screen shake + lots of bullets is a really nice combo. It gets hard quite fast.

ComposeYourselfThis game is so much fun I enjoyed playing, even tho it's pretty hard. My best score was 7 haha

Stuck In A LoopIt does get hard fast, sorry if you thought it was a bit too much, I definitely could have made the difficulty ramp slower.
I do think it gets easier if you try to limit yourself to one bullet until at least loop 5, and try to kill the monsters (the first enemy) each loop because they won't despawn at the end of the loop, making them multiply really quickly.
That's just some tips that should make the game less hard, in case you want to give it another try :)
Thank you for the kind words!
Very nice concept and execution, super difficult as well. Good job on a well crafted game!
