I really like the art, the mech-ant is "freaking shweet!"
Good art, but confused as to what to do.
Game looks great, took me a bit to realize what i was supposed to do though
I *also* really like the art, and the music was incredible - It did such a good job getting me hyped up and making the whole experience feel so much more climactic. My only complaint was the hard cut when you press each button (possibly because it was queuing up a new track?)
I really wish there was some way to restart after dying though, because I am awful at bullet hell games, and kept dying to the third pattern.
Nitpicks aside, great job overall!
I was very confused by the bullet hell segments and the controls were a bit frustrating. I might have missed something but it felt like I was rotating around a random point? It also felt a bit random when I got to enter the ant shooting mode. Still though, the art was neat and the shooting segment worked! The bullet hell segment looked cool and could be great with smoother controls
I second @koolruz comment about restart after dying, cause I die a lot. Art and music were really good!
Fun take on bullet hell with great music! It might be nice if getting Charged required collecting something in the outerworld rather than just being on a timer.
Maybe a visual to let you know your charged? Maybe I missed it but I just heard a noise so I would press F haha
Love the big mecha ant :D
The music is AWESOME. I'm terrible at bullet hell games, but this one didn't feel unreasonably punishing, so I appreciate that! Cool interpretation of the theme.
The employee of the month sign made me laugh. And then feel like a jerk.
Really fun short experience, graze mechanic is a good reward for being skilled.
I couldn't quite figure out how to get charged or if I needed to be in a certain spot to use it, so my strategy was to fly around spamming F and hoping for the best. It worked out and I had a lot of fun.
