SO good! I like it a lot, that it has a campaign and a endless mode... It also has settings for audio. Absolotely insane musoc and a vacuum clean as a bonus weapon. ;D Thanks a lot, good work.

The music is so fire.. Fun game! The bouncing DVD is my favorite. I wish my Pandora's box bar carries over to the next level ((( I was saving them and had almost 4 bars when level ended.

Really fun game with an interesting concept. Thanks for making games and sharing!

A fun game. Having the endless mode to play after beating the campaign was a great addition but it needed a high score or timer to track your progress. I almost missed the Pandora's box mechanic until I started to struggle a bit and re-read the bindings. J seems an odd key choice. There are a lot of really fun effects in there. My favourite was the swarm of bats. The movement keys felt a bit too sensitive for precise bullet dodging.

Very cool.

Cool game, I kind of liked getting the random attacks and liked most of them being funny, the boss took a little too long to kill.

Very solid shootem-up/bullet hell game, I had lot of fun completing it! Various enemies with different weapons, and great idea of random ulitmate and there are lots of them, wondering which will roll up next! Laughed when they were sucked by fan for example. Dvd logo is handy, yeah. In the end I died while making screenshot, but anyway won because flamethrower was going on! Okay theme may be little stretch but what a great game.

I recommend you to make HTML export as soon as possible, it should be easy with Godot, ask me if you need some guidance, that way you'd get more votes in 2 days remaining, and good luck!

Capture d'écran 2025-04-24 113819.png Good shmup! I didn’t try the Pandora Box at first because I thought filling it would instantly end the level — and later, I assumed that the more you filled it, the better the effect... but I guess that was just me making things up, right? 😆

One small thing: I think there should be a short cooldown before inputs are accepted on the inter-level screen, because I accidentally start almost every level by clicking too quickly.

Also, the final boss is a total HP sponge — but I managed to beat it on my first try!

The Pandora effects totally caught me off guard. Each one was a surprise, and I loved that. (That DVD save screen one? Perfection👌)

Interesting game! Very cleverly combined with the theme!

That was really fun! Nice twist with the game setup and there was way more special abilities than I expected! My only complain would be the spike-ball on change was not that useful on final level. Besides that, nice art-style, really cool music and super fun game play. Great job!

I had a good time with this. The shooting is clean and the movement is snappy. BGM is fun, too! Good job.
