The visual is gorgeous, but i think is a bit too punitive, you can enlarge the movable area, or make the bullets infinite. Aside of that great game!

Looks and sounds excellent. Not a huge fan of not having control of the aiming, and it's very hard.

I like the relaxing style in your project. Visuals and the music are combining perfectly well. The gameplay is pretty simple, yet challenging enough to be fun :)

Very cool game ^^ Hard, but cool ^^ The music fits well with the art that is really well made ! Not having the control of the aim is quite weird ^^' Maybe that is an habit that I have not ?

Cool overall game ^^ Keep coding :)

First off, I love the concept of punishing missed shots with the space restriction ( it got me an idea for another game actually, so thanks a lot for that! ) and thus like how well it corresponds to this Jams Theme.

I am personally not a fan of the aiming and got frustrated a bit too fast, a faster spinning circle with faster moving enemies to induce the same panic while making the shots more responsive or something similar would have probably helped.

However, the beautiful and soothing art and sound direction greatly leveraged said frustration by just how relaxing it is; maybe I just have a soft spot for nautical stuff but I really loved it.

Great entry!

I agree with everything that has been said above.

Love the art/sounds/feel - a (little) bit frustrated with not being able to aim myself, then again - that would probably give the game a whole different more frantic feel.

Great job, i love it !

Fun game, pretty art, I like how everything comes together. It was to difficult for me though so I couldn't get very far.

Very nice graphics, but the gameplay is difficult.

The art is amazing and it creates a peaceful feeling combined with the music. It needs some balancing since it's really hard to suvive (enemies move fast and in straighline and they arrive to your position before the attack wheel completes a round), but it is normal in a jam since time is so short. I think it's great that you added a scoreboard, good job. Overall, the game is great, beatyful, and fun to play

Very hard game! It takes a few death to handle it properly. Thankfully the art and music are very calm (and gorgeous!), so I could accept to die repeatedly haha
