hey! I liked the idea of the game, but for some reason it was very laggy in the browser. Maybe if a windows build was there I could try it out better. I liked the sound effects and the usage of the theme!

@wiru thanks for trying our game and giving it feedback! I added a download option for Windows build so feel free to try it again if you want to. Hope it runs better than the browser version.

This is tough - while dodging the normal bullets was ok, escaping the explosions was really tough. If you want to increase the difficulty even more, let the platform rotate. 😁 Have some real explosion or something in the red zones would be visually cool. Overall, nice little game. 😃

satisfying level design!

Definitely fits the theme! Nice balance of challenge and skill, too. I didn't git gud in my time with it, but felt like I could with more time. Nice work! My main suggestion would be to smooth out the difficulty curve a bit? Let me feel like a winner before I'm getting destroyed by 5 explosions.

I imagined the character as a white fluffy cat caught in a hellish trap!

I love this sorts of game. The mechanics worked well and I think it's a nice balance between difficulty and skill. Good mood!

The game is pretty addictive! The gameplay is enjoyable and the difficulty is perfectly balanced

Died when there was only 4 seconds left and ragequitted. But before that, dodging the bullets was really fun, just a perfect amount of challenge. Also, "have forced you to play a game of dodge the bullets and explosions" made me laugh. Sounds like fun and games

Good game and use of theme! I died a lot. Should I feel lucky to escape alive? I kind of want revenge on these alien machine meanos. Shout out to the transition between the title screen and gameplay. GJ!

Holy I kept getting blasted. Not good with bullet hell games 😢

The idea is fun, but the game was way too difficult for me. I liked the visuals and the music. Overall a pretty well made little jam game.

Great use of the theme, I love bullet hell. The lava ring definitely made this even harder. I would play this.

Really challenging game, my personal best was around 1:10. I think it was really readable, probably it would've been easier for me with a controller (if that's supported) instead of keyboard. The biggest problems for me were the bullets and not running into the (stationary-not-moving-so-totally-shouldnt-be-a-problem) lava.

I liked the 3d introduction. And enjoyed your game quite a lot! Bravo ^^ ! I beat it from the 3rd try... it is addictive ^^

I wish there was more :P But overall, a pretty fun, *clear* (very important) and addictive experience : ))) GJ!

A pleasant game concept, surviving is quite challenging, especially since you can't touch the edges of the map.
