Looks great, cool animations. Found only being able to shoot the towers at the base from the front confusing at first, would assume I could do so from any side.

@xenosns this is something we had to experiment with ourselves... the collisions overall are very wacky, but should this project gain some attention then we might takes things very seriously and polish the f**k out of the game.

Very cool game, love me some bullet hell. Think some visual feedback when you get hit and maybe a bit clearer visual indication as to where the hitboxes are would be great improvements to an already great game!

Love the art and animations!

Great, I love the pixel art, especially that glorious chicken! Took me a bit too long to realize that you can only do damage to the altars from the bottom.

Love the graphics and music. "final attack" is lagging my whole game xD And yea collisions are working strange, maybe tower top and bottom can be in other layers in unity, this way you'll be able to shoot through the upper part.

@snesgaard @orukinawa @atomicptr Glad to hear you peeps enjoy the bullet hell mixed with pixels experience. If we continue to get this type of attention we will definitely give the game the attention it deserves in the near future ^^

@genpaku We are very much aware of the collisions working in a strange way. I very much should have taken the time to setup the altars to use more unique collision layers. In any future update this will definetly be improved upon ^^

I really liked the music and sound. It matched perfectly with the look of the game. The pixel art was great also. I really enjoyed the animations on the knight. You mentioned that you are aware of the collision issues. It unfortunately makes the game difficult to play. In particular the hitbox ambiguity was rough. I was on the second round when I was near the chicken to pick up some potions and he hit me with all the shots at the exact same time and I went from full health to dead in a fraction of a second.

Nicely done!

Game looks amazing, that chicken is terrifying and the knight's walk is epic. The music is also incredible. Unfortunately it's a bit too hard. You did a really good job with the first phases making the bullets slow and the player's hitbox really small, but once the chicken is at about half health, it becomes almost impossible to avoid getting hit. But if I were to only look at the first half of the fight, I'd say the game is just about perfect.

Looks great and plays pretty well! Took me a while to realise you were not supposed to actually attack the chicken and it gets way too hard after the first set of towers is destroyed, but I had fun! :laughing: Bonus points for the isekai title!

bro i remember seeing your post about this. i'll check it out later

nice game. saw a post about this when the jam was still going, and my expectations were surpassed, i am glad to say. you had great music, i loved the art, and the difficulty is frustrating yet fun. i couldn't get past the 4th stage (was that the last one?) and i don't know what the special attack was. i wish healing was added, but overall, nice job. one of my favs

Art was good. I love the demon chicken. I was unable to finish the game its self as I found it difficult for me and the towers only taking damage from the bottom was a bit annoying but apart from that it was a fun and challenging experience.

Oh hey, a bullet hell

Pros: - Great art, love dem Chicken - Easy to understand mechanic - Good game feel - Hey! There are sound effects and music! - Bullet hells are kind of a second name behind inevitable suffering - Animations on point

Cons: - I'm just terrible at those kind of games - Latest Chrome version -> Encountered super FPS drops and stuttering after big spawn happened*

*: I believe that looks like a problem with your spawning system. If I understand correctly, you're essentially instatianting every bullet as game object, right? You guys should try using particle effects instead as they're more efficient for that sort of use, and you can make millions of them.

A great effort nontheless. Keep up the good work guys!
