Laser sfx is a little bit too loud. I like all the weapons and particles . I wish I could see more of the map.

There's an impressive amount of weapon types! I love how the bullets fly out of your mouth. Great gameplay!

i really liked the gameplay on this! cool idea with the auto switching weapons. wasnt mad at the FOV i just thought it started off really hard. could start with a slightly easier stage

yeah, I think I may have made it to hard in an effort to make sure it wasn't to easy...

Interesting, challenging, simple to learn but difficult to master

The game runs a bit choppy on my pc, probably because all of the glow effects. But glows effects are extremely cool so that's fine.

A fun time!

The game is just gorgeous, it's a little complicated in places, but that only makes it better!

Very cool , nice to see another Construct user in the mix! :v: One minor thing, if you're doing pixelly stuff -would be to use the 'retro' template as a basis, I.E. Point Sampling + small resolution, so all the pixels are the same size for that authentic retro feel.

I like your specific art style, tough bullet hell for sure would like to see tweaks to progression

Love this game! Hard but fun, keeps a good pace. Some weapons confused me at times but the gameplay idea is great. I expected more variety in the game loop track, but this is really a tiny detail.

Fun little game. I like the use of weapon swapping for the theme.

yeah I do agree with the music needing some work, audio is not my strong suit and I kind of threw the soundtrack together in 15 minutes...

I loved all the different weapon types. Some of them forcing you to go closer to the enemy and others not. Super cool game man. I love bullet hells and I love the glowy bullets in this. Well done!!
