But I ran out of steam after losing many many times to roller 2.\n\nFunnily, spinner was hardest for me, then roller, and simley was pretty easy.  But that may be the tribes thing: smiler was about leading your shot more than dodging, and I just summoned my old chaingun skills.\n\nI was upset that I didn't get even an instant of invulnerability and eating a tripleshot could end me instantly.  But honestly I think given this game's brutality, I'm okay with that.\n\nI had to dig deep, as this is more execution difficulty than I normally engage with, but there were three excellent aspects of the game that made me want to do it: first there is the very well done aesthetic of informative and appealing graphics and sound; second the controls are very tight so it's all my fault; and third there is a pattern to be deduced with each boss and so it is as much of a puzzle as it is an execution test.\n\nEvery now and then a superhard execution LD comes along that has the package to make me buckle down and this was one of those rare games.

The i-frame shield (1.1 update) definitely made it easier and a bit more possible to complete the game (finally beat it after it was updated... in 1.0 I got stuck on the second version of the rolling boss). \n\nAs others said, the controls feel great! It's got a lot of polish, and the effort put in is obvious (for this game, that's a good thing). I really like the idea of each boss getting more difficult each time you fight them. The phases of the bosses are very well done, and the sound indications are perfect! The art is really cool and fits the game perfectly. The simplistic color scheme works wonders!\n\nOne suggestion I think I could make would be a death screen (or just simply a pause button) so that there's a bit more of a break after you die so you can rest your hands if necessary.\n\nWhen I was looking through the games from the contest, Jet Boy caught my eye immediately. When I saw it was a combination of BulletHell, Platformer, and BossRush, I was sold and downloaded it immediately. \n\nTLDR; Superb for a game jam game!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Darkphnx","author_uid":"1085125","time":"2018-04-25T05:20:57Z","epoch":1524633657,"modified":1524633657,"text":"Smooth game-play and great art!
