Love the production values! The opening cutscene and the soundtrack were the two standouts! I'm no good at bullet hells so I couldn't make it too far, but from what I could see the controls were nice and responsive and fun to play around with

I can't rate for some reason...

luis-priego-cuenca 2024-04-16 21:48

@usenrame, you can rate now, I don't know how it happened but the option "get me op-out of rating" was activated, now it is already deactivated, sorry for the inconvenient

The game is super, I like it

reaxt 2024-04-16 21:54

this feeds my bullet hell addiction.. this is super solid!

reaperhb 2024-04-16 21:57

wow, the gameplay is good, the graphics are cool!

kseniya 2024-04-16 21:58

It's a lot of fun

zablas 2024-04-16 21:58

A different kind of bullet hell. Very addicting!

The falling animation was great. Unfortunately I'm bad at this genre and I killed myself trying to get to souls, to get magic to heal myself.

I really enjoyed the challenge! The overal quality in sounds, style and graphics were very pleasant. The controls (keyboard) seemed overwhelming at first when reading them, but quickly made sense when falling.

Nice game, I like the animation of falling a lot and all the art and music. It feels well-balanced, and the cutscene was cool to get some deeper to the plot. I had some troubles with controls, but maybe it's just me. Good job 👾 ah, and thanks for the web version btwScreenshot_1.png

The art in this was really cool and the bullet hell was a nice challenge from what I could play, though maybe a little hard out the gate for me to learn how it all works.

I really like the array of abilities! It feels good to control, if tricky at first, and the music is great. Very fun game! Screenshot.png

@pugg wow 22160! Congrats! I can't get more than 8000 hahaha

Interesting take on the genre! Really liked how you played around the idea of sacrificing with summoning

Nice amount of challenge. The buttons were a bit difficult to memorize, even after reading the help section. Having some icons and button prompts on screen during gameplay would have been very helpful. But I got the hang of it, and found the bullet hell to be challenging but fair, a good balance.

I also really enjoyed the animations! The backgrounds are nice, the music is great, and you set a good mood. Overall, solid entry! Nice job!

Cool game! I love bullet hells, so had to try this one :)

Was a bit overwhelmed by the many buttons. But just using the summon on E and Sacrificing with S was working really well for me :D

Thanks a lot for all your feedback. Maybe we can try a better approach for the buttons. We love to see your great scores :smile_cat:

37010 o_O it is crazy haha

Great job, had fun! Although I ran into a few issues: while I had controller plugged in the arrow key inputs would stall and stop/start, perhaps a deadzone issue? Unplugging the controller fixed it. Also the X axis on analog stick input was inverted for me.

Screenshot 2024-04-27 201118.png Amazing game. Remember to read your tutorials kids, because I nearly finished the game only parrying with the shield (no summons)

I dig the artstile and the music, my only caveat is that E summon makes Q summon feel like a meme, am I missing something?

josang1567 2024-05-02 08:11

Incredible game, i really love the art style

milq 2024-05-02 20:34

The game is incredible! The quality of the graphics is superb, the music complements the experience well, and the action is frenetic! It's true that it can be a bit challenging to understand the gameplay at first, and initially it's quite difficult, but once you get the hang of it and master the game, it's truly enjoyable. My sincerest congratulations because the game is worth it, and for something made in 72 hours, it clearly shows that a professional team was involved. I would love to have a leaderboard to keep competing with others who have played this game. Great game!

jonnydrumz 2024-05-03 12:38

Thanks everyone for your feedback, we are honored :)

I like the initial animation and the music but the controls seem strange to me. Anyway it's a good game. Good job!
