Nice game, played it to the end ^^ I liked the Hogwart's Theme Variation and the graphics a lot.

It is really challenging but that is at the same time what makes it fun. the animations and art are definetly the best part of it.

Wow didn't expect to see Hogwarts ledacy sequel so soon. Where are frogs tho? I really liked everything in this game: effects look great, audio represents action well and difficulty is on point. Completed and wanted more. Great job and wish you a good jam

That was great! A mixture of two things I like: wizards and bullet hells :laughing:

Loved the little detail, that you could fly trough the hoops and they're not just a background element.


I think the hitbox of the owl was maybe a bit big. Also it was unclear how large the collider was. That made the navigation a bit hard, especially when there were lots of bullets and almost no space to go. But that's just a small nitpick. Otherwise great game!

Bullet patterns were great! Different patterns, sizes, speeds. That was awesome!

A nice bullet-hell style game! :) Managed to reach the end, I really like that the bullets show their direction with arrows before they start moving, gives you a little more time to prepare.

I would've liked to see a way to slow down your movement; that could make it easier to do fine movement when you need to do tight dodges.

Good entry!

Very fun and original framing of a bullet hell game. I thought you did a great job telegraphing where the bullets are going to give the player enough time to react, which made the game seem very fair! Nice job!

Nice little bullet hell game! Fun collection of bullet patterns. Showing the velocity arrows was a nice little touch to make things a little more comprehensible.

I will say that using the exact same projectile sound the whole time starts to wear on me a bit, and it becomes especially problematic when you get to patterns that fire a lot of bullets in succession.

Cool idea, it was fun :D. I really wish I had a dodge move and more variety in term of sounds. But nice :)!

fun stuff! maybe an indicator of remaining distance might add to the experience so we know where we are at in the level. other than that pretty solid entry thanks for sharing your game

Fun take on the HP musical theme, enjoyed playing it!

Interesting take on flappy bird + bullet hell wrapped up into the theme - I think you nailed it. It's a very well polish game not much to say other then that its a bit on the hard side because both of these genres are hard in their own right.

It would have been nice to know how far I got (i never made it to the end) but knowing I was only a few more seconds from the end maybe i'd tried harder but its a tough game.

Great work on the art as well!

As a bullet hell game it's lacking something to keep it engaging. Usually bullet hells have some mechanic that forces you into an area, like dealing damage or collecting some powerup. The game looks visually pleasing, lots of various HP themed art.

Pretty fun flight controls and very smooth to play. I don't know why these wizards don't like owls, but they killed me enough times. XD The visuals are nice, but I wish the music had more organic sounds. Well done. :)
