Really enjoyed this game! Very smooth controls and satisfying shooting. Graphics are really polished and the idea of adding a modifier every 10 seconds is really fun. Nice job!

Is fun! Nice job! The mechanics of heavy bullets and ballistics are great!

Killed 72 mobs and survived for 2:22 minutes. Very very cool idea and execution. Fun platform shooter with chatotic upgrades. Pressing multiple times space makes you fly. Using only a trackpad, I have never really used the roll, would love to have it on another key as well.

Good job !!

Great game! Some of the effects like the "heavy bullets" could make for a great game mechanic by themselves.

this was really fun. tight platformer controls and lots of features. super impressive! the random buffs every 10 seconds kept me playing for a while. there was a lot of them and they rolled out differently each play through. some were hilarious! the music was really good too. sfx not so much. one piece of constructive criticism maybe put a little juice on the player when you shoot? would play again

Really fun and you have some amazing art and music, really nailed the aesthetic of it. I love that the modifiers don't care about whether or not it makes the game harder or easier, it only cares that the game is more fun :smile: great job!

It gets pretty crazy when you go beyond 6 or 7 effects. Also, great music, goes well with the theme of the game.

So polished. Art and animations = great, controls = ultra smooth, effects = fun (explosive + big shot + zoom was wild), gameplay = fun. Imagine this but multiplayer, could be sick, would buy.

Really fun - great job. Very smart to keep your modifiers limited to 5.

The rescaled player modifier got me laughting :D I think it would be cool if instead of adding new rule every 10s, you would remove previous rules and maybe replace them with the new set of rules (like maybe 3 or 4 rules at a time). As fun, as it is, the game becomes unplayable after like 1 and half minute, depending on RNG.

Cool and well executed, the game control feels are nice! The graphics and sound design is well adapted. I did two run of approx 2:30 so I don't think I had all modifiers, some are cool (Zoom zoom), you could add more crazy stuff (changing the map, distorded effects...). On a side note it seems getting piercing is always the begining of the end.
Solid entry overall :D

Holy crap! This game is incredible! Way to cram it full of content. I love the look and feel and how great it controlled for a keyboard. With so many powers that stack, it needs a bit of balancing. But I'm so thankful the left is right fades out after its 10 seconds haha

The game is very good, well polished and the use of the theme made it challenging and fluid! Great job! I would like to see future updates!

Very good and polished game, awesome graphics and animations and extremely fun gameplay! I did have plenty of trouble when the enemies got tiny, but I still enjoyed it very much. Well done!

The dynamics in this game is top tier. I had tons of fun firing explosive bullets everywhere.
I feel a bit down that I can't download a standalone executable. Definitely would add this entry to my GameJam collection.
I'd pay money to play such game if you ever decide to make it a to a bigger project.

Awesome game. A little odd that you can jump repeatedly, but... why not? Some of the modifiers are pretty funny.

I absolutely love this game! Actually I could suggest a modification to this: you could design a stripper leg when the character is slipping down the wall.

Multiplayer, more enemies and you could sell it on steam! Would love to play it with my friends. I like the concept of the adding modifiers. A realy great entry.

Nice game overall, I enjoyed it.
If I had a remark to make for a main thing to change I would suggest finding a way to communicate when a modifier stops being active. It's not really clear. Is it timer based ? Or does it stops when it's replaced by another of the same "family" ?

This game is 10/10, you basically gave me the same felling of Vampire Survivors, but in side scrolling. I thing that this game has the potential to be a full release on Steam, I would buy it 100% sure.

@adinimys thanks for feedback!

Some of them (like "fast forward" and "left is right") are temportal and their duration is 10 seconds.

Others are permanent. They replace each other if they have similar effect (like "low gravity" and "hight gravity") but they are not deleting from list for now and just "rewright" their effect in game.

Felt good to play and felt polished overall. I lvoe the explosions!

Wow, amazing how many effects you crammed into the game, all effect the game in different ways, art and especially the sound is top notch. Only thing I'd say is there is no reason to keep moving in the game you can just same and shoot in a single spot.

@digitaldude555 Thanks for feedback!
I thought about it, it is necessary to add more motivation to move around the level, you are right.

Graphics are incredible. Gameplay is very solid and dynamic. Audio is very good and sets the mood. This game is very polished, impressive!

Really really good aesthetic, especially the tiles. They're absolutely great! The gameplay was pretty engaging, though some of the powerups were a bit frustrating. The small enemies combined with the high gravity mods really drove the nail in the coffin for me.

@nardandas believe me, it’s not the worst combination! Have you ever seen small enemies + double-trouble + triple shot + piercing shot + explosive bullets? XD

Great graphics and sound. Gameplay gets pretty hectic as the rules add on which isn't a bad thing. A collectible that would remove one random rule once collected might be an interesting addition to the game. It could be set to appear after the player has killed 10 or so enemies as a cost to getting one. Anyway, nice job

I love the concept and use of the theme with the different rules. I love the sound in this. If you go to the far right-hand side of the screen, it removes the visibility of the player. This is my kind of game :D.

This is awesome! The sound, the graphics and the gameplay all fit together really well. I love the color scheme, with the blue background contrasting with the tiles. :ok_hand:

The modifiers were really fun and added a lot of variation to the gameplay. I liked that some were helpful, some were dangerous and some were just weird (like zoom/zoom) :laughing:
