In what way does your game fit the theme?
The game is a bullet hell game (literally). Gradually it will become difficult to keep track of enemies.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
The game uses sounds and music from other sources which were not made during the jam window, the rest including code and graphics were made during the jam time.

Did you delete the game?
I marked it as private, since it was only for the jam.
Why? It's quite nice
I wanted to replay it for one of my videos
Can you please give me access to the game? :)
Hey, so I made the game public for a while. Once you play and record please let me know. A website asked me to give this game exclusively to them so I can't keep it active here.
Thanks!
I was planning to record sometime later. I can't do it immediately, but I'll try to record within a couple of days and I'll let you know as soon as I am done.
Congrats for making it to some other site:)
Did you sell the game or do you get ad-revenue-share?
Sold the game as I have been working with them for a while and they liked the idea so they have the exclusive rights now.
I recorded a few playthroughs. Thanks!
This time I played four times and won all of them:)
Between, I would be really curious to ask you a couple of extra questions. If that's ok, please message me:
Wow, that was a crazy blast. what a cool concept! very well done, and holy wow, incredibly hard game to master!
Thanks a lot for the kind words
A pretty good looking and polished arcade game! nice.
Thanks a lot
I really liked this! It felt polished and the overall game felt very complete. It took me some time to understand what it meant so maybe putting the list in front of the player's face before it moving to the left would make it clearer. I would really appreciate it if you could rate my game!
Thank you so much for playing the game and feedback.
really loved the game, took me a second (and a look through the description) to understand, but once i got there i really enjoyed it, it got really difficult really fast, and i loved it
Thanks a lot. I'm glad you liked it.
I really loved this! The presentation was really good, the audio was punchy, and the graphics were simple and clean. The ship moved around a bit too slow though, I don't know if that is intentional. The bullet switching messed with my brain too much, so I couldn't get far, but overall I had a blast.
Thank you so much for the feedback. Initially I snapped the player with cursor position but that movement felt jerky , so I smoothed it out with some delay, I guess it was too much of a delay :)
A very nice entry overall. We enjoyed the concept and loved the execution. It was a bit confusing sometimes, because of the different lists. Maybe some color would change that and give a nice visual clue.
Thank you for playing the game and yes I am planning to have a color code for each letter once the jam ends.
Very nice game, the mechanics are really simple and it's very easy to get in to. The difficulty stays a bit the same, although you made it a bit harder with the difference between capital letters (really interesting btw). It's a really polished game, nice job!
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I think in later stages sometimes all the words are 3 letter words, which makes it easier than previous levels.
Really cool game! It did became, uh, I wouldn't say boring, because it's still pretty frantic, but it does get stale, if you get what I'm saying. Everything else is really good tho! It just needs like, some power ups or other obstacles or something. Still, excellent work!
Thank you so much for the feedback. Yes it gets boring after a few levels, my idea was to have power ups and bonuses for completing the list in order, but I got imprisoned in my own design and didn't have much time to restructure everything, so I had to work with what I had. I have plans to rework the whole game from scratch post jam. Im taking notes from everyone's feedback. Thanks a lot again.
Nice graphics, audio and superb game design! Unique idea for a game, and a decent take on the theme. A cute entry xD
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Awesome concept, but I am really bad at this game XD XD
Thanks, maybe you are not bad maybe the boss is really a douche.
Great game, the game is really polished and I had a lot of fun :D
Thank you
Great game design, really fun experience. Mechanic is simple, but very entertaining. I've encounter a bug, where the game highlighted letters of wrong type after shooting them down, but it's a minor thing. Good job, keep it up! :)
Thank you for playing the game and your valuable feedback. Thank you for bringing that to my notice, once the jam is over I'm planning to color code every letter to have a distinct look to avoid confusion.
This is a really good game. Its a really simple premise but it works really well. There is one suggestion I have though maybe put the player below the area where the letters can hit because its annoying and unsatisfying when the letters go past the player so you cant shoot them but there still on the screen it would be more satisfying and it would make it a little more clear if you could shoot them all the way up to the point where they are not on screen.
Thank you so much for playing the game and your feedback. It never occurred to me that it would be an issue. Thank you for pointing that out, I will implement this one and also will place a visual representation or an image that indicates the end.
man this game was great, dont know how it works, but it works
it is hard but fun and cool. enjoyed it!
Thanks you :D
This is a really cool game. The rules are simple but enough to make it chaotic. The stakes are very obvious and there's too much to handle making it chaotic. It is really polished as well. One thing I would change is the switching bullets, since there are 3 bullets, one button to switch between 3 may be too slow, so maybe use the left hand to switch bullets on the keyboard, 1-2-3 maybe. The bullet on the gun may also be not clear enough since it's touching it, but that didn't seem to affect the gameplay. Other than that, great game, was fun to play.
Would appreciate it if you rated ours too, thanks!
Thanks a lot for playing the game and reviewing it. Yes the current bullet type is not much clear maybe the sprite is too small as well.
If you have the time please play our game too, we still need 5 more ratings. Thanks! (unless u already did and just didn't comment so idk)
cool game cool design
Thanks
Very well made game!
Thank you
Wow, this game is unbelieveably well polished. This feels like a full release!
There are no real things I would suggest, maybe making it a little bit more clearer wich bullet you're using, as changing it in a hurry can make it hard to pick the right one.
The music and sfx are also very good and the artstyle looks professional and appropriate!
Very fun and addictive game to play when theres nothing to do at work :D
I do have one more question, are you Manish Vyas, or just a fan? (Or someone with a very similar name?)
Thank you so much for playing the game and your valuable feedback. I'm glad you liked it.
And yes my name is Monish Vyas, but I'm not sure which Manish Vyas are you talking about. I might just have a similar name.
Very unique game, I love the resemblance to a text editing software used at office. Solid design and execution. Good job!
Thank you so much.
