The art is just superb, really striking palette. 

As some others mentioned it can be a bit hard to see the warning that everything is about to change color, especially when things get a bit hectic. That can make some of the times the colors shift feel a bit unfair. The challenge curve is steep but that's par the course for these types of games. Really well made game, definitely a stand out!

Random side note: I had no clue about that unity bullet hell repo, we had a similar gameplay mechanic with our bullet-hell game and basically spent a few days rebuilding that same system lol might have saved us some time (and perf worries lol)

The concept is super cute, very relatable. Art fits nicely with the game idea too! 

Happy to check out your game! the commenting limits are rough, i keep running into it too

 here's mine:

That coding part in the beginning had me feeling like I was at work for a bit lol

The grid layout is very creative for the incremental portion though, really enjoyed it great work

The grid layout for the incremental part was quite unique, very creative! That intro making me feel like I'm at work though XD there could be an interesting game out of just that part somewhere maybe.

Fun visual style! I noticed it wasn't working in firefox and edge threw a GLbuffer error before moving forward (I think it might be due to some sort of post processing or render feature that webgl doesn't like, only time i've seen something like that happen)

Once I got it working though it was pretty fun! The little hacking minigame was a nice touch

A deeply personal, emotional piece of interactive fiction. Wonderful to see such a unique presentation on the theme and done so well.

Love the FX in your game! The gameplay loop is pretty fun too

Would appreciate a rate on our project: https://itch.io/jam/game-name-game-jam-1/rate/4478188

Would love for you to check our project out, will return the favor of course

I actually played/rated your game yesterday, loved it! Looking forward to the full version someday

Nice project! I managed to get myself in a weird state after I died seems like it cached some sort of state and won't let me continue if I reload?

Still had some fun though! Left a rating

Interesting take on the theme, got a bit of a philosophy lesson today : ) 

Feels like a pretty experimental idea, would love to see how you could push the theme and message a bit further

This feels like an old school arcade beat 'em up , you really nailed that atmosphere. Quick note: The web build didn't seem to work, but the downloaded build worked for me

Very ambitious game, so many stats and numbers to sink your teeth into. Pretty cool project

Wow there's a crazy amount of stats and content in here. As a TFT head there's a lot in here for me to latch onto, nice work!

Wonderful retro art style, solid game loop. I really enjoyed this

Love the art, you really nailed the retro feeling. I'm 25 waves in and gonna keep playing a few more!

Pretty neat little game, there's a few cool movement tricks you can discover and really get cooking!

Pretty cool game for a first ever game jam! I had a ton of fun when i figured out I could wall jump and slide indefinitely haha! The movement felt pretty decent. 

As for feedback I'd say I'd love for the level design to feel more "intentional" whether that's through lighting or creating interesting pathways for the player. Also the pathfinding seems to get slightly confused around corners sometimes. But overall a great showing!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Thank you for the feedback! We tried to combine the twin stick shooter genre with the Ikaruga gameplay style, we'd definitely consider other approaches if we continued forward.

wow, high praise! Thanks for playing!

Thank you!

Cute game! Got to 2nd on the leaderboard, might have to make another few attempts at 1st

Cute game! Nothing gonna hit my doggo! Second on the leaderboard for now, gotta come back later and try to take the crown

Haha thank you! We spent a bunch of time trying to create interesting patterns, a lot more difficult than it seemed we found out

Thank you!

Hi! 

Found myself with a decent chunk of time so wanted to go ahead and rate a bunch of games. Drop 'em here and me + my teammate will go through and rate everything we can!

Would also appreciate a few ratings on our project, an Ikaruga and Furi inspired bullet hell game. Be warned it can get pretty crazy!

Me: psh... how hard could Pong be

10 minutes later

Me: ...oh

cute little game that constantly kept me guessing and kept my blood pressure higher than it probably should be

oh yeah i just got it! You have something pretty cool here, as a fan of incremental games this is a pretty fun experience

Almost forgot to post b/c i was enjoying the game too much haha good stuff

This really gets those neurons firing in all the right ways, great game!

The artstyle is pretty cute, really liked it. See a lot of potential in the gameplay loop, some very addicting elements meshed together. Would love to see a skill to allow me to walk a bit faster over time! There's so many avenues to expand this gameplay too, i'd definitely play a full version of this game someday : )

wow, this is so rad! Love the visuals and the whole package really, hope you guys continue this project would definitely play a full length version in the future.

I got way into this, that rogue ability to zip around is so satisfying until you get absolutely popped by activating it without a halo on accident later on haha. Lots of fun!

Very cool vibe, the style is fantastic. Looking forward to the full game! 

Really loved the visuals, gives it such a unique flair. Dropped a rating!

Here's mine!

The vibes are impeccable, dropped a rating!

Would love for folks to check out our project as well:

Can i say i absolutely LOVE that respawn animation, it manages to be so cool and grotesque at the same time.  Really fun puzzles and quite a bit of content. I've been playing for a bit and it seems like there's still more to go. Really feel the freedom in approaching puzzles as a player, great game. I do agree that maybe an ability to speed up the animation would be a nice QOL

Really reminds me of classic surf maps, really enjoyable. Gonna have to keep playing some more later to try to reach that surf zen.
