Very fun. Love the art style, hoping to see more. Perhaps a longer move range and bigger arenas with more enemies could be fun? Hard to tell but it's worth fiddling with.
Quite a pleasant time, and the world needs more turn-based games... We all get old, eventually. Your game has been unexpectedly, and perhaps oddly even, entertaining.
The last picture you get after completing(?) the game almost felt like a jumpscare with how focused on the game I was. Also great art! Altough I couldn't really tell if the game ended on that picture, mb some kind of "The End" thing around there somewhere would be helpful.
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?

Cool game
Really solid demo, I can't wait to see what you do with this fun mechanic in a full game!

love it!
nice co-.... I mean nice game
Great mechanics! Also great for a quick pickup if you have 30 mins (until it gets further expanded of course).
awesome game!
Awesome game. Nice touch on non-rythmic rythm-game of bullet hell. Didn't expect that many different enemies! Hope for sequel (or prequel?)
this is awesome!!
Super fun!!! Immense design, every level is such a fun puzzle. Need more pronto, I adore it!
awesome game i love it
I thought the title said "Balls of steel"

Big fan of your work Emlise. Thank you for playing, and for giving us so many inspiring games!
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?
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?
Reminds me of Celeste. Everyone's dead.
pretty good
Art
An overall really fun game and interresting mechanics :)
fun
BALLet OF STEEL is definitely good, ngl
