The game is a hell of bullets :) Very good that there is a two player mode. Also volume controll. Very nice. I lags a bit of hit-feedback at an enemy, but overall ver fun.

SYou should invest more time to craete a better presentation for your game. Pls add screenshot, write a little more text. I totally look into such invisible games, cause I'm excited what gems there may be hidden. But you could collect much more positive feedback if you would feed the eye of your players :)

Have a good time and hope you'll receive a lot of good feedback. Your game is worth it :)

Woohoo! Victory in 7 coins! Lovely ship designs, very difficult (if you're trying to dodge the bullets) game! Good job!

Nice little game! Took me a minute to realize I need to press [1] to start. Also ZXC didn't work for some reason, I had to use WASD + Space to shoot.

4 ratings and not a single LB entry. C'mon

Nice work on this one! I appreciate being able to respawn on the spot and continue after dying, if the game required actual money I would've lost way too much lol. Almost managed to beat your score.

I wish I had a second player to try this with! I think I'm absolutely terrible at it though. I've always been dreadful at shmups but not all of this seemed possible to dodge for me? That is likely me just being bad, and I'd love to see a dev playthough of it!

The visuals were really pleasant, I loved the shifting of the colours and the lovely background. The music when the boss came especially was very pleasant. I just would have liked more feedback in general - I wans't really sure what my health was, or if I was damaging the enemy. Some more sfcx in general would have been great. Solid little entry!

It took me a while to learn the patterns (and some of them I just gave up on learning) but I scored over 50K, and that's about as much as I think I can get. I don't play a lot of bullet hells, so I can't really give the best feedback, but I did record myself playing. (I also had a lot bitrate by mistake, so I hope the video isn't entirely ruined because of that...)

I honestly have no idea if that boss can be beaten without dying, but I was able to cheese it by just going around, ha! I don't know if that was intended.
