Small note: I did not opt out of the Graphics category. Although I used an asset pack for my characters, probably 60% of all my time spent working on this game was polishing the visuals like working on the shaders, particles, overall style, etc. It seems a bit unfair to not being able to receive the rating on something you've worked so hard on. You may take this into consideration when rating that category.

Hi, I still can't see the Graphics category. It is a cute game and has one of the best game feel, or "juice", I've ever experienced among all these Ludum Dare entries. I would consider it unfair if I could not give a 5/5 on graphics. Please let me know when I could. Great job!!

Fun and thematic! The tanky rocks were a bit frustrating, but any time I got in the flow dodging bullets it felt really cool.

The visuals in the game are so good, I honestly didn’t expect it — totally caught me off guard.

Very nice graphics, the game feels interesting because you move vertically, but the controls are like horizontal. It is intuitive what to do. Good job

Очень заполишенная игра, сделанно профессионально! Если будешь развивать игру дальше, можно также добавить чекпоинты и какие-нибудь апгрейды один из трех для оружий или здоровья, чтобы увеличить ретеншн

Very cool art style, the player life animations were funny as well. I got to 1306m idk if that's any good. Only criticism is that the sound effect are a bit abrasive. Nice job overall though.

This game definitely has nicely polished visuals!
I like the job done on shaders and VFX's: outlines and recoloring of sprites look very pretty!
Did you use custom RenderFeature for URP or rendered the mask with the second camera?

Also, I'd like the birds to absorb fewer hits before being killed, so I could continue without stopping.
I guess that making running continious would make the flow of the game a lot smoother.
