The Gameplay is so satisfying! The game loop needs a little tweaking, but the Game itself feels great and looks GORGEOUS!

I AGREE. thank you i intend to revisit all this with more time

nice work on this, I think you’re got a knack for shmup dev! hope ya’ keep working on it or make more games

aww thanks . I can't wait to put more time in and make something real. This was a good test but only ten days of thought.

I tested in browser, I like the visuals and the audio. I did not really understand the restart/respawn mechanics so I'm thinking it might have bugged (it would make me go back to the exact point of my death). Twice, enemies stopped spawning and after a few seconds the game would stop and show this.

yeah you reached the end of what i had made . the theme was "limits" the limit here being how much game got made>.< jkjk

Very cool little project! Though sometimes the sound felt a bit too grainy, otherwise really nice work! :)

the online playable version does get worse audio unfortunately. download the windows for better music. sorry bout that.
