Bunner Gunner by piscythe
Our spacefaring heroine finds herself stuck on the surface of the hostile planet Jupiter. She's been cursed by the planet itself to endure an endless cycle of death and rebirth that happens every 10 seconds. However, even a curse has a silver living - while visiting the underworld, she is able to retrieve the lost souls of her lovers. In order for the curse to be broken, you'll have to cut through swarms of dangerous foes and eventually take it up with Jupiter itself - good luck!

I really enjoyed how you could save other bunnies which would essentially increase your general firepower, and the bullet-time mechanic felt really smooth!
The day/night cycle was a cool idea and definitely helped the pacing. Though the game starts to peter out after the third rescue or so since (as far as I know) there are only two enemy times; the enemy count just gets higher. That really doesn't work for a bullet hell game since you can dodge simple projectiles forever. What it needs is new enemy types that do different things.
The "Rescue Girls" mechanic confused me at first. First of all, is it Rescue Girls as in girls who come to my rescue, or as in girls I need to rescue? Well I don't think you rescue people by shooting them until their health bar reaches zero. In fact, the first two girls that came had the same texture, so I rescued the first one by accident, then I thought that the mechanic was that the girls go away at night to become trapped into a bubble. A few suggestions on that: Make the girls' health go up instead of down when you shoot them, and change the tutorial to say "Free them!" or something like that.
Overall, well done. Just needed a bit more content.
Edit: The description mentions fighting "Jupiter itself". But I never got that far because I got bored fighting the same enemies over and over and I figured it would just keep going until I died. The game needs to spice things up more often to have the game go on that long.
Great job!
