really good effects and artstyle :> i really like the sound when a bullet hits the enemy the gameplay reminds me of cuphead, almost

i just wish there was a more obvious indication when you get damaged and attacks could be better anticipated :p

Really amazing feedback in this game! And the artstyle looks so unique i'm always a sucker for retro looks! Overall well done!

This is amazing. I'm really, really fond of the visuals here. The boss sprites, the intro art, the fight animations, the fading level transitions, all the little effects, everything just feels so polished.

Gameplay is simple but dynamic and, overall, pretty damn effective, the patterns of the three bosses are all fun to learn and fight against.

Awesome work !

The art is very bizarre and therefore good! It really sets the mood. Also seemed pretty well balanced. I don't have too much feedback on this one!

Really awesome and polished graphics! Gameplay is fun too, I wanted more but for a jam it's perfectly fine! The only thing really missing is a pumping soundtrack. The little narrative was a nice touch as well.

This was really cool, I enjoyed it. I love the 1-bit art style. The bosses are strange and kind of disturbing in a good way. I like the idea of a series of boss fights.

I think movement is a bit too slow. I didn't have too much trouble as a result, but I never felt very mobile. The boss attacks could probably be telegraphed a bit better, but it might just be my lack of attention. More than anything I wish there was more content :smiley:

Nice work!

Cool little game! I like the art style, and the controls feel good. I'm glad you included a difficulty option and "retry level" buttons for people like me who are bad at shooters!

The web version wouldn't even load up on either chrome or firefox, but the windows .exe worked.

Good compo game!

Awesome art and the hard difficulty is really hard! Great game :)

Amazing graphics! Loved the boss fight mechanics.

I found an abuse after failing several times on the last boss and restarted the game to prove it. On normal difficulty you can beat every boss with continuous fire and without moving. That should probably be punished! :skull:

@maaxoom I was aware of that, however it was very convenient for playtesting, so I didn't remove it :)

I really enjoyed the premise, art/animations, and the submission page! It's too bad it was so easy to beat in a relatively cheesy way - I wanted the experience to last a little longer! But that just goes to show how nice the aesthetic elements/personality of the game was! Good work!

The art is simple, effective, and story rich. I love the bullet rain style gameplay and definitely could use more polish and variety. Only thing I really feel lacking is some background music.

Nice short game. Made me hungry!

Love the bizarre story!

I overall liked it. The visuals is good, and story is fun. Sounds could have been better, but not a big issue for compo game. Well done.

Yes! I got the dumplings :D. Great work! Love the visuals and sound, gameplay was super fun. Wish there were more levels, I would love a full game of this. Well done!

Really weird game but really well executed. Looks like you really spent time on all the aspects of the game so well done.

Really fun! Good job! I like the simple graphic style and gameplay!
