Pretty neat! The art is great as expected from you and the implementation of the theme is cool. I also liked the upgrade system. The biggest fault is that there aren't any sound effects, but I can understand why you didn't make any since it's a compo entry.

A ton of content, I am only able to make it to the fight with the fire boss, but there are already so many enemy types and great art with nice animations. The obstacles aren't really a problem(at least in the point where I got), so my only criticism is that it doesn't feel super on theme.

Graphics are really pretty. I'm confused on why you can't shoot up without locking in place though. That gets kind of annoying pretty quick.

@spudboy You can. You have to make sure that you (only) just press the up arrow key for that. Also if you can not handle the lock feature, do not use it then.

This game like The Binding of Isaac!!!!

Very solid controls and fun to play! Congrats!

These animations made the game for me. I loved the evolution into bullet hell with the addition of bosses and new enemy types! Really impressive for a Compo game! The dying animations are all just so satisfyingly cute.

Not a bad game, I think it would not be bad to do so that you could shoot no matter the turn. Good Job man!
