Favorite thing about Ternia is stealing the enemy's patterns and using it against them - really cool use of making a parry an offensive type of move!
The music was poppin and the artwork all fit together. Great game

Cool game with very nice beats to go with! Plus cute girl is always a plus. This game definitely has that rhythm/bullet hell charm to it which is rarely done all that much.
A bit of feedback is that the game has a slight consistency problem with trying to time parries and dodging bullets, as bullets move according to the beats of a song, and playing the game while relying on just the beat can get frustrating. Having a small indicator to when the next beat is going to hit could help so that players can better maneuver the beats of the song. Plus, this won't necessarily take the challenge away from the game since it is a bullet hell after all,

God Of Balance is not fairI really liked how the game moves with the beat, tho tbh, it is a bit frustrating when trying to parry and the bullets slow down right before I get hit. Maybe you could make the hitbox larger when parrying. Nevertheless, great job, cool concept, nice visuals, and nice music.

HYPA BLASTAThat's a really cool jam entry, well done ! I like how the parry mechanic changes the pace of the game !
I have two things that were a bit frustrating in my opinion :
- it has already been mentioned by other commenters so I won't get too much into details, but some weapons are way too slow to be fun to use. Maybe some more feedback on the cooldown could help, but I think it would be good to reduce it by a lot, unless it's something that oneshots enemies.
- I got stuck for a long while at the start of level 2 with two sword enemies that took an insanely long time to kill, with their weapon that shoots all around I could do them only one damage at a time...
Other than that, it was pretty fun ! Awesome job !

Abstract EscapeThis game is awesome! I love the way everything moves in time with the music. The mechanic around parrying and unlocking new types of bullets is such a cool and unique idea. The art style is dope too, this game really impressed me.
Only small suggestion I would make it have some sort of bar or something above the player or on the side of the screen to demonstrate cooldowns. For example the blue bullets had a long cooldown and it would have been nice to know when I could shoot.
Anyway, overall amazing game!

Too Many LettersI beat the game.
It is cool and fun, I always enjoy this sort of catch and throwback bullet mechanics, and the variable rythm according to the beats of the music is an interesting twist which gives a real identity to the game.
One thing I did not like is the insane delay between two player shot with most weapons, the game almost feels unresponsive even if it's obvioulsy not and enemy hps are fixed accordingly, it made the game feel a bit worse than it should to me.
Very solid game anyway, congratulations.
