Difficult but very fun! I managed to beat easy and get 60% on normal

Pretty hard game but fun! QTEs were good, a little too hard for me to complete though. Would love some music in the future!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I plan to tweak the easy mode to be a bit more forgiving. Sound effect replacements and adding music are on my to-do list as well.

So much to focus on, good tough game!  got to 80% a few times before I'd get overwhelmed.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm considering tweaking the easy mode. In your experience, which part felt overwhelming: dodging the bullet patterns or managing the QTE sequences?

Submitted

I think it was processing the combinations while dodging. Just could get unlucky and fully surrounded. Maybe a dash could help?

I had trouble with the arrow inputs but not shore if it was the game or my keyboard.

It is a good game and a little addictive.

Submitted

Nice game. I think it would be nice if the enemies didn’t have collisions. Got stuck keep getting stuck in a group of those guys.

Interesting concept!! Made me feel like I'm playing rhythm game but with extra kicks!!

Would appreciate it if you could check out my game as well, it's my first jam!

Submitted

I think it would be nice if you color code the arrow buttons :D
But overall a bit hard but i think thats normal for a bullethell-type game :D

Developer

Good idea about the colors! I'll add that to my post-jam update along with some other tweaks.

I turned on Touhou Night of Nights and got through hard difficulty. ;) 


Very fun bullet hell. Expanding on the game where it's a cross between Magicka and Vampire Survivors where the QTEs charge the attacks would be neat.

Submitted

Fun, but challenging. I was caught by bullet hell while I was entering QTE combinations.

Thank you for the feedback. The game now includes a difficulty selection.

Like the mix of mechanics! Nice gameplay :)

Pretty cool. The QTEs felt like casting spells.

I would really love to see the ancient evil summoned, but it is just too hard for me ... couldn't even survive half of the countdown :-)

Thank you for the feedback. Based on comments like yours, I've implemented a three-tier difficulty system.
