This was a cool simple game with a neat art style. I have to admit, I'm not exactly sure what I was doing, but I somehow ended up with a "You Win!" message. Every time I shot the player character would get surrounded by other objects. Was that supposed to happen?

Like I said, I really liked the art. The music was pretty good, too. Nice work!

@pres2300 Thanks! It creates objects differently that I planned, but by deadline I kept it that chaotic way.

What the hell is happening?! Love the music and style though!

Same same, art and music are cool! Especially the music, allthought gameplay is not clear atleast for me 🤷‍♂️

Interesting game, a little unclear on the objective haha

Very conceptual experience. The art style and the choice of color give a real identity to this game. The music contribute to the strange ambient (and the absence of sound sfx too). To win just need to shoot the big character on the top, you can not take damage i think and you can not lose. This is interesting, the game is either pretty unfinished or maybe just perfectly finish with a strong message behind this game (my opinion is this is just a technical demo maybe). Well that's good, not frustrating, entertaining, and weird ! (honestly i like this kind of strange and mysterious game, i can play a compilation of a strange things with a secret behind, think about this)

What a mysterious game. What are those little things moving about? Is the anime lady(?) the boss enemy? There are bullets visible for a second when you shoot. But what do they do? What are all the things that appear when you shoot and why can I collect them? What's up with the RGB/BGR button in the top-right corner? Sometimes I think I see colors, but when I look closer its black/white after all. Not just mysterious; terribly mysterious.

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING, but I liked it) Very cool style. Only the sound is very annoying, but it gives this game a charm.

I had no idea what was happening or what was supposed to happen. I like the music and the waifu.

Very artistic collection of the mysterious mood music, black and white setting.

Can't say I totally understood what was going on, but there is definitely a vibe here

I won, I have no idea what's happening but I enjoy the music and art style

This is awesome! I've always wondered about rendering things using subpixels (outside text, which a lot of systems render at the subpixel level by default). It's neat to see that action. Almost like tiny, 1x3 pixel art. All the creatures moving smoothly across the screen creates an effect like I'm staring into the abyss of my computer screen, and seeing something that shouldn't exist.

The microtonal music is great. Using something less than a half-step totally fits with the vibe of using something less than a pixel, and the sound tickles my ear in just the right way.

Really one of the coolest things I've seen this jam.

Классная музыка и визуал, круто, что есть возможность управлять и на экране, и на клавиатуре. Немного сложно в плане читаемости экрана, X и сам персонаж сильно сливаются с фоном и не очень было очевидно поначалу, двигается ли персонаж на экране или нет.

I'm really excited to try this game! But unfortunately, I haven’t been able to run it yet. When I try to play it from the website, it runs slowly and stutters. I downloaded Godot 3 and your project, but when I try to open it, I get the error: Scene 'res://assets/fonts/default.theme' has broken dependencies: res://addons/BitmapTextureFont/main.gd::Script. I haven’t rated your game yet because I’m eager to play it! If you could make a build for GNU/Linux, I’d love to try it. The game looks fantastic!
