Well done !

The sprites are gorgeous.
Maybe their are too much bullets, creating situations when it's impossible to dodge, which is a bit frustrating.

Good job anyway !

Come check our entry, we also did a top down shooter ;)

@eryph Thanks you! We were going for that classic hardcore bullet with a space management system with the middle guy. We were trying to give the feeling of dammit I'm out of space all of a sudden!

Great game man! I was impressed on the number of type of enemies you have on your game. The game feels really well polished. There are multiple weapons, a shop feature, and a lot of sprites. Great job on your entry! I don't get when my ammo was effective though - but that's my problem lol. Thanks for sharing!

Cool art and really nice music. It's a nice take on the bullet hell theme, quite difficult. I guess you could have more feedback when you get hit or hit an enemy, like the typical white blinking.

Very enjoyable! Might of been nice if I could have used scroll wheel to swap weapons. I really really liked this one, well done!

OH MY GOD! Why this game has such a small rating. This game is beautiful. It just has everything you need. The idea of the contest is beautifully revealed.

But it's music apart. The music is so masterpiece, so it fits the game. The gameplay is very dynamic and really interesting, I would really like to see your other projects.

Great looking game! I didn't know what I was doing on the first wave, but after I figured out how to push back the wall it got better. Well done.

The art here is really nice to look at. Art, sound and mechanics seem to fit well together.

This game is truly masterful. The pixel art is phenomenal, and its style satisfies the game very, very well. The Start screen is a powerful way to captivate a player. The background music suits the mood and is pleasing to the ear. All the sprites and animations are breathtaking. Playing it is a lot of fun, and gets you on the edge of your seat. The weapons and enemies were nicely designed. Good job and I wish you all the best of luck. (Sorry for my over-dramatic description; it's too habitual. :sweat_smile:)

Great entry, very polished and playable! The ammo seems a bit too expensive, so I found myself mostly using the "default" weapon. I also missed some feedback when the player gets hit.

Bullet hell with space running out! Sounds like a nightmare game :) Actually I liked it, though the controls were a bit difficult for me (I'm on a laptop with a trackpad). What I liked the most is that the difficulty is rising not too fast, so I could finish several levels before I finally died. Nice music and graphics too.
