This is a wonderful game!! I adore the movement, the combat system and the character are so unique! The only issue I take with it is the text - it's rather small, and quite crowded. It makes it difficult to scan through, since it's so wordy. I had to go into the game page controls to figure out how to throw knives!
But the game itself? Stunning and so incredibly satisfying to play!
This game is great so far. The only thing I would change is the music. It can play pretty inconsistently at times. Also, bosses would be a fantastic addition.
Super fun game and really interesting take on bullet hells. I really like the visual style as well, the palette is very pleasing and the animations are sooo smooth.
Very interesting gameplay. Impressive pixel art. Very well executed. One issue I noticed is that sometimes I don't know if a bullet is gonna hit me or not, maybe try add some UI indicators to tell the direction and the distance a bullet can travel?
Despite the wordy tutorial, the game has a great mechanic. I just felt it could be a little bit more “intense”. The first rounds are for teaching you about the mechanics, yes, but they aren’t really challenging.
Nice little prototype! Tutorial was a bit wordy, I got the point pretty quickly so it wasn't necessary. But not a big deal. Would be cool to see a fully fledged game out of this.
I didn't play it on full screen until I realise that I should have... on my second playthrough. Yet even without the instructions or advise I still got to understand the mechanics pretty easily and advanced till the last level. Love the soundtracks.
For a prototype it's very good, I like the mechanics so far. I wish I could see which projectiles I can deflect by hovering the tiles. Maybe also add a small circle to indicate how big your hit box is like Touhou games or Rabbit and Steel. I also had to mess around with the buttons to figure out how you can throw knives too. Hope to see more progress on the game
Interesting game. The text wasn't displaying for me for some reason. One thing I recommend changing is making it clear what bullets you'd parry while you move. It sucks to be hit by a bullet you thought you were parrying. Also, I'd make it so passing bullets also lets you parry them, instead of just having to end on that tile.

Really nice game, thank you for making it! Looking forward to your future development on it :)
Beat first try with 13 health. Pretty good game
great, but ez. wanna harder version
that's one way of solving zeno's paradox
great game!!!
too ez
is great tho
Great game, but it's quite easy right now. Maybe you could implement bullets that can't be parried?

Reminds me of Celeste. Everyone's dead.

Just finished a hitless run! Yippie!
This game is very fun :]
i think i won
im kneeling Infront of a grave or something but i cant do anything
is this a loss or a win?
I got through on my first run with only 1 health remaining lol. Very fun!
Balls of steel
In a case, of deflecting three bullets at the same time, turn just froze, i had no cells to move, enemy stuck, beside that, this is a cool game!

Great variety of enemies.
Deflecting bullets is also a really fun thing.
But sometimes you need to wait for a while till they shoot
Great variety of enemy times to keep the concept fresh.
I love it, so much fun to predict, and the sound track is very good (kinda nostalgic too)
в этой игре прекрасно все, надеюсь выйдет в стиме
que jogo foda, ansioso pelo projeto final <3
