This was quite fun, I did however get some lag spikes? I completely understand why "shift" was needed, for more control in those tight streams. I enjoyed the music and the general mood

Great music, and the visual fits it real well.

Nice simple graphics and I like how the particles are destroyed :) I enjoyed playing the game!

Very nice! A bullet hell game while stuck on a loop is an interesting take. It's very challenging. The shift key was a nice touch.

Overall very nice chill game! I did however find the sound effects didn't mesh as nice as I'd of liked with the grooves of the music. I'd also be careful with the particles since the game would lag sometimes. Despite that I still enjoyed the experience :)

@life-lich you’re right, updated itch.io description! Thank you.

@thescoff I kind of liked the bloop sound but initially I did intent on having it vibe more with the music just didn’t really know how. The particles really can lag, but it looked neat and I didn’t have much time this weekend to really explore alternative effects.

Thanks for playing everyone!

Tip of the hat for HTML5 version, as always :)

Classic bullet hell contept, but looped! Good take on the theme.

Got a couple lag spikes when the particles got really crazy, could probably tone down the number of particles, especially when they explode, looked like a bunch.

Fun little game, well done and congrats on finishing a game for the jam!

Great vibes - simple but really enjoyable. The music worked great with it! Like others said, the game does get a bit laggy when there's a lot of particles on screen. Overall though I enjoyed it a lot!!

Nice bullet hell gameplay, works well with the theme! I experienced lag sometimes when too many particles/bullets were shot.

A really nice game! It's hard, but somewhat relaxing and addictive. The visuals are nice, but I think it lacks some visual effects that could make the particles stand out more. The game would sometimes get laggy, especially when large amounts of particles would spawn. This made some segments even harder.
Overall I enjoyed it, great job!
