Used this for the buttons in my game! Thanks!

Used one of these for my projectile shaders in my game, thanks!

Great font, used it for a game jam! :)

Hey I used your asset as the main character in my game!

You're completely right. I had made the choice to increase hitbox size slightly as the bullets travelled further to punish those that stay near the edge of the screen to gain an advantage, but forgot about that change when I started polishing the game up with sprites and covering the hitboxes. So by slowing down the projectile speeds while cleaning up the bullet patterns I had inadvertently made the hitboxes much larger by the time they reach the bottom of the stage (almost making it impossible to dodge through them). Sorry about that, that was removed. Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you!!! 

Thank you!!!! I've been wanting to do a moth game for a while now I love the little guys even have a big one tatted. I'm really thrilled you enjoyed the game and rest assured I have made many big changes to the bullet patterns.

In love with the sound effects and voice lines, dashing felt so good to use. Honestly my favorite 3d game in the entire jam. Great work!

Noted! I'll try it on chrome

would you believe me if I said my original plan for the game was to start the player back at stage one when they died, I only changed it like the day before the submissions bc my wife convinced me it would be way too frustrating lol

Yeah, one thing that doesn't help the difficulty is theres a bug in the code for the intensity of the overlays where the overlay timer doesn't get reset when the stage is restarted. Something I didn't notice while playtesting since I was already prepared on the bullet patterns and didn't do much stage restarting. Thank you for the feedback and playing!

I tried to play it but the game kept crashing after the intro cutscene, after waiting so long I was excited to play but couldn't. sorry! I'll take everyone else's word for how good the game is.

Thank you for playing!!

A bit verbose but very interesting to play, Great work!

fun game, really enjoyed the nod to undertale just wish there were indicators for the paths they were going to take. Cute sprites, great work!

I'm so thankful for the continues, felt like a true arcade game from an alternate universe. LOVED the sounds.

Almost thought the large visual bugs were part of the theme, so you get a 5/5 on theme from me. Sorry I couldn't continue playing. 

LOVE the bullet patterns, the hand drawn sprites with the glowy bullets mesh together surprisingly well. Great work!

it's kinda cool

Very well done and a unique twist on a bullet hell, i really like the papa's feel of having to get my cauldron recipes made in time before the timer runs out. And boy does the difficulty really ramp up! Great work!

I really enjoyed the sounds and music, the bullet patterns and color coded projectiles were nice, I had fun playing.  Great work!

As a binding of isaac fanatic I really enjoyed playing this game, the room transitions, the warnings under enemy spawns, etc were lots of themes i am familiar with and enjoy. The shooting and difficulty level were right up my alley, great work!

Loved this game so much I forced my wife to sit down and play it also, perfection! Hope you win best overall.

absolute cinema, the game played itself

I got stuck during boss transitions multiple times but it was still a blast to play! You did a 3D bullet hell really well and im in love with the soundtrack and art style no matter how rough it is around the edges. Great work!

Had fun but even nearing the end I was still struggling with the local wasd controls, great work!

God i love puzzle games!!! Finished with 43 deaths but had a blast! Realizing how stupid you are and then restarting is real. Amazing game!

Interesting game that took me a bit longer to understand how to play, great work and a unique take on a bullet hell!

Had a lot of fun, the camera smoothing is a bit much though. Great work!

The right amount of frustrating and possible to beat that forces me to keep trying over and over, art is amazing and the skill tree had me trying different strategies. Had a blast, great work!

I had a lot of fun playing this but got frustrated with the falling slime, sometimes it would fall on me and pin me down - ending my run. Great work!

What a brilliant and unique take on the theme, I had a lot of fun!

Hey we made a pretty similar style of bullet hell! Wish the hitbox was a little smaller as it was difficult for me to dodge between any projectiles. Otherwise great work!

Great work! Movement felt a little slow, some of the shots box you in almost immediately so it feels a little cheap to get hit with such little health (maybe just a skill issue). Love the art style and glad someone else made a game on the psychedelic side of the unstable theme like me.

Wish there was more that kept getting harder! Movement was spot on and felt incredibly smooth. Great Job!

I died on level 3 a couple times like others mentioned (suffering from skill issues), but otherwise has a lot of fun! I really like the roguelike elements and how well all the art fits together, super pretty! 

Great job! The art was on point, just wish there were more.

Such an addicting game! The pixel art and animations are so well done, especially the little games of life-esque viruses. I loved playing it and i developed a bit of my own strategy like body slamming the viruses to clear them. Wish the gun powerups were more common as it seemed I went through very large portions of the game with the same gun type and even after many attempts it felt like i got the same ones. Great game!

Thank you for the feedback, it really helped me while continuing to polish up the game :D
