i liked it it was super chill and compared to some other underwater games it's refreshing to not be bouncing off walls or having to deal with crazy water physics. good job!

gave me a good chuckle to see a reverse space invade esque game! One thing, i'd switch the shoot button and bomb to something else. C and Z felt really weird, I'd like to play with 2 hand but I either had to 1 hand or use 2 in a weird position. But really cool!
Cute, short little Shoot'em up game. Controls feel fine, upgrades are fun, though they are so small I thought they were bullets at first. I didn't really find a good use for the bomb, since just shooting felt stronger.
The boss really surprised me, it was very fun dodging these attack patterns. Made me really wish the game was a bit longer with more bosses.
bro, I love shooters, and I appreciate that you added power-ups alongside the gameplay so it's not just shoot enemies and you got to be strategic with the movement. My only complaint here is the button choice for shooting. Having the player move with WASD and shoot with Z is too uncomfortable to use at the same time. Next time, assign to the LMB or RMB. Good submission tho!
@brian-russell, @lucas-verardino: We forgot to add that you can also use the arrows to move, going to fix the description
@darklumo ohh nice! I played again and bumped it up because it feels sooo much better. thanks!
A classic bullet hell. Great choice of music btw.
This game really gives off strong bullet-hell (think Touhou Project) vibes.
I really dig the unique art style! It fits the theme perfectly. The sound design also adds a lot to the atmosphere. This is a clever take on the theme! I wasn't expecting [surprising game mechanic]. The learning curve felt just right. The game has a lot of potential! I think with some more polish on the [specific aspect, e.g., UI, controls], it could be really fantastic.
basic, yet pretty solid bullet hell. I like the music it's pretty chill. Inclusion of boss battle is a nice touch, I just wish there was some damage feedback.
Tough but a good challenge. The boss character was certainly menacing. Great music!
I loved it and I got to say the music is really good all though not sure the music fit in exactly but it was still good and the game play was good no bugs or anything! Great job.
@siilicac: "Reverse space invaders" is a good way to put it lol. Fun! The music is a great addition. +1 @fancyreckless on damage feedback, it felt like the bullets didn't do much to many of the enemies?
I liked the bullet hell concept (though i didn't see that you could use arrow keys until it was too late, and ended up awkwardly trying to use wasd and zxc like a neanderthal haha). The upgrades were cool, but losing them when you die was a bit punishing, and made it feel like a run was over before you'd restarted, as the difficulty will increase independently of your power level.
I really liked the music! The gameplay was great too — super fun and engaging. The controls were a bit tricky at times, but overall, it’s a really solid game. I genuinely enjoyed it!
I mean there should be some visual effects when you hot the enemy
Nice game, but not comfortable controls. Like the music, especially boss fight music! Good job!
Ahaha, cool music, vibin!
Nice space invaders clone and fits well to the theme. I liked the visuals and the audio. Some feedback when hitting, especially the tougher enemies would have been nice. Overall great entry.
nice game! art could be a lil better, but i really liked it!!
