This game is awesome! A++++! I love the music. I love the facial expressions. I love the color palette. I love the effects. I love how gradually it grows in difficulty. This is a very satisfying and engaging game. And AND you are literally stuck in a loop! Great job! I just gave you 5/5 for all categories. =)

This was really cool! Good way to stay on theme without going the obvious route like time loops

I like the way the health falls off when you get hit, nice little touch. The simple graphics work well.

Many games aren't exactly fair with their challenge but this game gave me full control to deal with what it had to throw at me. Thank you!

I had to play it a few times because deaths were plentiful :P I could feel myself getting better and better at it though and using the different mechanics to dodge incoming attacks.

There isn't much else to say; I enjoyed it :D It is well made!

Oh wow I loved the faces the boss made! Cool game, I really liked the screen shake effect you had too! Great job.

Good execution. I especially liked the satisfying yellow shot effect.

Gameplay was short and fair. All the attacks felt appropriately telegraphed.

This is a great bossfight. Difficult but fair, easy to learn, hard to master. Good atmosphere with the camera shakes and the bosse's faces.

Catchy music. I felt the jumping was a bit twitchy to get right but not annoyingly so. Fun to see how far you can get! The music helped keep me in the game, too.

Everything was well animated and dynamic, and that adds a lot to a game.

Very good presentation, it reminded me a lot of Just Shapes & Beats in terms of blending art, music, gameplay, and screenshake altogether.

I liked the tension there is at the end of the game. There's a lot going on and I thought I was going to die for sure but luckily I closed it out. There's a good amount of obstacles to process, and the circular nature of the game makes it difficult to judge speed and gravity, in a good way.

Overall this is a really nice, tight experience. I thought the boss design itself was a standout feature. The bounciness on the ball and the face make it seem so alive and animated. Well done!

This was a fun game! Short but still challenging enough to have to be tried a few times until winning. I liked the clean but stylish graphics too.

I got a bit confused by having to press W to shoot, and space bar to jump, it would feel more natural if they were the other way. Also if you showed the time it took to finish at the end would add more replayability to it, to try to beat your own time and such :)

It also fit the theme well!

Good job!

Was a bit short, although I beat it first time so maybe the replay value was meant to be from dying a lot. However, it was sweet. I enjoyed it a lot, especially the graphics, made me smile. I was very glad it was short too after a day of streaming games - that isn't a criticism. Maybe could've benefitted from a few extra minutes of gameplay but nonetheless I had fun. Nice one!

I like this game! The theme fist very well, The artstyle was very nice, The Graphics were great. Fun game, also there are some negative problems i had.
1. This is one of the more common issues, The game dosen't have a proper tutorial, The tutorial and controlls could have been shown in the game instead one by one.
2.The Controls should also have been shown in the about or options menu instead of just showing up in the tutorial.
3.The UI is ok, but it could you some work.

Also this game kinda reminds me of "Just shapes and beats" But you can't really control the character, not that i am saying that it's bad that it looks similar.

Overall Pretty fun game! fitting and graphics look nice.

Simple and cool, I like it! The sounds and visuals are pretty pleasant.

The difficulty is a bit high for me, buut that's not entirely bad, I played it for longer than most other jam games and had fun! :)

It might've been nice to be able to slow down in some way. I'd rather slow myself down when I see the laser thingy prepping to shoot in front of me as all other options seem unsafe at that time (not that the laser has actually hit me much, but it gives some unpleasant feeling that you can't do anything to protect yourself from that hit).

Even though the game and graphics are very simple, you absolutely nailed it! It's amazing how cool you can make your game look with so simple graphics, if you know how to do it. Although a bit hard at the end I really enjoyed it and finished it! :clap_tone1:

This was excellent!! So much juciness and energy everywhere, and the gameplay was challenging but well-paced. This was very fun, and definitely one of my favorite entries. I booped the fuck out of that guy :sunglasses:

Side note: I think I had a minor rendering glitch because there was a pink triangle and black box behind the boss. This was on Firefox 81.0 on Ubuntu ![boopbug.png](///raw/8fb/z/3a3a7.png)
