Very fun bullet hell game. I the art is very cute too. ^_^
I'm very impressed by the amount of work you were able to get done over the weekend. I had fun testing your game, and it ran and played very smoothly. However, a couple things about it kept bugging me. First of all, it was really hard to dodge bullets. This is mostly because the player's hitbox is too long, resulting in some really awkward movement when trying to avoid bullets. I also didn't pay much attention to the Mana stat, and mostly felt like it got in the way of the game.
Besides these complaints, I did like your game! The art was cute and clean, and the soundtrack fit in well. Congratulations!
Cute girl and the game runs fine. I liked how mana regens really fast so I can spam my abilities a lot. However, for a bullet hell type of game dodging bullets is really hard and I found myself just face-tanking enemies and spamming my abilities on them and surviving for a long time. This kind of gameplay (where you can't really avoid damage) works in some cases but the game has to be built around it, and I don't think bullet hell games fit here. It could be that I'm just bad at dodging though.
Fun to play, get difficult though :)
The gameplay is the well known bullet hell stuff and it is not really my kind of game but the fact that everything is so well done and working fine is very impressive, an small annoyance for me was that I couldn't bind the movement controls to the "WASD" keys.
Very fun to play, lasted about 5 minutes tops, gets quite hard but that's how I like it! Nice entry :)
Fun and addictive game, well done ! ^^
(I've made it until the wave 26 (level 70)) ;p
Wow. This game is visually pleasing, has an excellent soundscape, and provides a compelling experience with a rising difficulty curve. Though it might be billed as a bullet hell game, I found it to be more about resource management: dodging enough to stay alive while beating the enemy enrage timers. The weapons were good for this; each one was unique and required skill to use. I like how the collection mechanic and weapon E encouraged the player to risk closing with enemies. Unfortunately, the gameplay eventually started to become monotone, as the same enemy patterns repeated until I was ground into dust, while I was never quite clear on my hitbox. Also, the game crashed when I pressed a key after dying.
nice girl)
Being meguca is suffering
The sound in the main attack is annoying. It is a fact that rpg shmups or shmups with health bar doesn't work (a personal opinion of course), but for this little game it is pretty awesome. Nice work.
Cute but really hard to rate highly because all the flashing and the slow movement/huge hitbox made it hard to really play more tactically than spamming down the enemies. Not sure how the theme comes into it too much either other than leveling up, which felt like it rubber banded pretty hard (numbers went up but the enemies took similar times to die). Definitely quite polished for the time though.
Funny game. Nice job.
I liked that you have three attacks, makes for a bit of variety. I wish there was likewise a bigger variety of enemies, they are very samey. In fact, I didn't feel there was any difference between them.
I didn't feel punished for getting hit, I felt like I could pretty much get hit all the time and nothing would happen.
I have reached wave 26.
Nice! I always love to see shmups in Ludum Dare. Great graphics & music and it's a lot of fun. Mechanically it's an interesting take on a shmup - the combination of the slowish movement, big hitbox and the visual effects made it a bit hard to dodge shots, but I guess it didn't really matter since I had so much HP. Felt a bit easy to me; generally I would prefer easier dodging but being more fragile like a traditional shmup but maybe that's just my taste. Regardless it was really fun, nice work!
