Blast Core

Wow, the a e s t e t i c s of this game are amazing! The art, the environment - but especially the music, so freaking good. You made it? Amazing

Moving around the core, seeing ALL of your enemies at all times - actually solves a really difficult part of shmups - its a pretty genius solution. Plus, I love how you can move in and out of the danger zone, taking a breather from time to time. And you can almost 'shepherd' the enemies, getting them all to go in one direction, so you can follow behind them and destroy a huge clump all together - very satisfying.

I know this must have been a mathematically challenging thing to achieve, so well done, really cool game

Cool idea!

This was extremely impressive! It took my a few seconds to understand how everything worked, but it was super cool once I figured it all out! Great job!

Nice graphics, and nice controls. Cool idea for the theme.

Quite fun once you get the hang of it. I really like the idea of having the game be built around perspective rather than a more traditional sort of gimmick. The mood is nicely constructed aswell. Very solid overall. I guess if i were to criticize something it'd have to be that playing my first couple rounds was very disorientating. Starting with that sort of intensity doesn't give the player any chance to adjust to the unusual presentation. Something to think about, maybe.

Very cool concept and nice interpretation of the theme!

Love the graphic style too, very 90's Indie Japan :D

The projectiles curving is awesome. Great mood from the aesthetic and audio. Will you be releasing the audio track for this?

Wow! What a cool game, nailed the theme!

Interesting concept, and well done aesthetics! I feel like it needs a bit more feedback on shooting and hitting enemies.

Great vibe! That was relaxing. It's super cool how the bullets curve around to go hit stuff on the other side.

The way the debris spawn was a bit hard to understand.

Overall that's easily a 5/5 game.

Loved the music. The curving of the bullets was awesome, and I'm really interested to dive into the source code to see how you pull that off. My feedback would be around how fast the enemies come at you when you move... so I tended to just soot from one place. Overall very cool!

Curving the bullets looks so cool. Well done

Awesome reimagining of defender It felt really cool trying to aim shots at the enemies on the other side of the core I found the player moves so fast it was hard to move around safely, and enemy patterns would appear on top of me sometimes so I would get hit

Overall really awesome concept, I would totally play a full game of this, such a unique perspective on a shmup, it's awesome!!

Really digging the art style! The gameplay itself is simple, but you still have some nice twists on normal bullet shooters such as shooting at the enemies in the back, and having to dodge both sides at once. But it is through the consistently amazing art that the game ends up giving a really nice feel!

The concept of the game is really nice. I kinda feel like it needs more polish. For example a shooting sound or an camera shake. With more time you can probably improve this to a relatively good game!

Very nice concept, wish the learning curve was a bit less steep.

Love the sounds.

Great game. Well executed. The Audio adds a lot to the experience.
