I find myself wishing there were even more rules to find! Jam is definitely the toughest, it feels like maybe 4/5 shots don't shoot during that. But the others were workable. The link of music themes per rule was a really good call.

fun little game, finally one with a textured floor <:
the UI top of the screen is too invasive. music and effects have nice synergy. rules are nicely balanced.
great one and keep up the good work !

Hey! Yes, they're really similar!) Very nice music and art. Very good use of the theme.
Camera is very shaky, it makes it hard to aim. The game missing health it's really hard to avoid hit in first round. Very nice

Fun little game, ended up with 142 points, the reverse movement, of course, getting me.

As others have mentioned, the screen shake was a bit heavy. The changing rules and the anticipation of what comes next was good.

This was an interesting bit of fun, I liked the switches but woudl have liked to see an indicator the change was coming perhaps. great 48 outcome, nice work !

Nice game, I like how the games seem to be randomized so you never know what your going to get. The UI is bit cutoff and the shake seems to be too prominent. Also I like the dynamic music, even if its not the best, but it fits the theme of the Games finely.

The inverted controls got me killed quite a few times.

Cool game. I like the art (especially the enemy sprites) and the particle effects are really nice and colorful. My biggest complaint is that you can't hold down the button to shoot.

The music hurt my ears a little and the screen shake is a little much, but other than that its fun and I kept on playing trying to find all the game rules

Cute game! I like the scene of candy and the main character. But I also wanna be buffed every 10 seconds XD

loved the music and the art! and a cool clear concept, easy to grasp
might have gone a bit overboard on the screenshake for shots, but it was nice to have the attention to gamefeel there!

This is a great game - I really enjoyed it! Nice use of the theme, graphically looks great, the music of each rule fits well, the gameplay is interesting and challenging but fair. Excellent work

Inverted controls beat me each time :laughing: Nice work !

At first, I thought I had to walk on the colored square of dead enemies to had some bullets, but nop, bullets are ulimited !

Nicely done! I have to admit I was confused on what "Game Rule Title" and "Game Rule Description" meant at first, because I kept dying before it could change. But I got the hang of it soon afterwards! I loved that the music got more intense when I survived another wave. I like the game, well done o(*°▽°*)o

The controls are really smooth and I couldn't stop playing for like a good half hour.
Brilliant use of the theme! Creative and effective! I only wish there were more variations.
I like the minimal sounds too, pretty effective stuff.

Really fun game! The music and graphics really work well with each other. I like that you both made rules that make the game harder and easier. I couldn't get used to the inverted controls and died every time they came up :)

Input inverted is almost impossible, but I kept playing because I wanted to get better at this. Game works really well!

As other people have said, I really love the music corresponding to the rule change. Simple concept, but you executed it very well :)

This was fun and cute. move + shoot interpretation is great. I like how there are so many rules variants every 10 seconds. I definitely found the hardest one to be "inverted controls" - every time that one came up I died! LOL.

Love it!! I esp appreciated the rules that made it easier, giving some nice breathing room to an otherwise suspenseful game. I found having the bullets come from the gun instead of center got me killed a few times, but perhaps that's intentional. Great idea, well done!
