Wow! this is my favorite jam game, 
only one minus: during the game my fingers hurt like hell

Cool game! The base movement and shooting had a good feel to them and it was interesting how the camera/stage was subtly shifting.

Really interesting theming and bizarro character designs! A few things that would really add a layer of polish to the game: add some sort of transition animation when the player dies, there were a few times that I didn't even realize I had died because all that changed was the health bars reset; also, a death sequence for the bosses, rather than immediately moving to the next scene when they reach zero health; lastly, as others have echoed, auto-shoot or click-and-hold shoot would really benefit the game here, as there is no ammo, or need to not be shooting. But overall, this was a lot of fun. Good work!

I really like the boss rush aspect of the game. Its something I've always wanted to do. I would have liked the ability to hold down the gun to fire or at least maybe higher damage projectiles with a slower firerate; just so my finger doesn't cramp.

I played the game on the itch client and it didn't have any audio. My guess is that its not using the windows version and instead using the html version on the client and that's why.

The enemy art was cute. If the background looked a little more interesting I'd say the overall visuals would have been fairly nice.

Overall, pretty good submission.

Awesome game! That first boss reminds me of the "show me what you gooot" thing from Rick and Morty haha! Anyway nice music, the enemies are cool. Overall it's a really cool game :)

Fun game! But for the love of god let me hold the button down to fire you are destroying my hand.

Cool game, just a bit too "button smasher" maybe it'd be good to lower boss health and timer or let people hold click to shoot. Also, when the boss resets timer should too, I think that's a bug.

For the rest pretty cool concept

Quite fun and i really liked the surreal atmosphere ^^

Some small issues i had though,

having an autofire where you could just hold down the fire button to shoot would have been nice.

Also, these bosses are really really TANKY O_o so much so that if you die since their health resets but not the timer i think you can end up without enough time to complete the level.

Despite that, i had a good time, i managed to reach the 3rd boss (in the blue room), but couldn’t manage to beat it in time.

Good job :)

I did it so the timer wouldn't restart for that exact reason, i wanted people to have another reason to kill enemies since they give 1-2 seconds of time. Your first point was pointed out alot so I will change it a soon as the jam is complete tysm for the feedback!!

Was very fun to play, nice work. I’d love if i could just hold the click so i don’t have to mash so much :D

A classic bullet-hell boss fight game! I like the theme though the description was slightly confusing.

This game definitely nails the "fun" part, all of the bosses were very hard without being too hard, and the whole game was just the right balance. I do think a big thing that subtracted from it was the fact that you have to constantly be rapidly clicking to deal damage and kill the boss before time runs out. Although the game is really fun, it COULD do with a bit more juice/polish

As for audio, well this game has none, so I can't really talk about it. The visuals are incredibly creative and look great, so congrats on that! They might not be the flashiest, but they're very consistent, which is important. I think on the aesthetics aspect, the game could do with a tad more polish, and by that I mean audio.

For theme, this goes for a more "boring" approach with a limit on time, but I think it still works well and fits.

To summarise, very very fun game, cool theme, neat art, but suffers from lack of audio and needs the ability to fire by holding down.

Developer

but it has audio 😭 and yes, is a really basic approach to the limit theme XD

I love how screen was rotating and boss dashing ! I think it would be nice if shooting was when i hold key button.

I loved that big ole' ham.. Also the tilting screen was a nice touch.

This was fun, just some traditional bullet hell boss fights, which is why we're here after all. The final one took me a couple of tries, the difficulty feels right on point.

Thanks for sharing.

You have no idea how much I tweaked the difficulty so this is a major compliment, thank you so much.

I think this game would greatly benefit from being able to fire by holding down the mouse. By the third level my hand was cramping
