That's one of the best games I played for this jam. I love the art style and music, but more importantly I really enjoyed the gameplay. It is easy to pick up, yet offers some challenge.
love this game's whole vibe, really liked how simple the environment was, immediately easy to understand, transported me to another world, and isn't that what gaming is all about <3 thank you, great submission
The game feel as a whole is very solid, with some issues of clarity. Your mouse gets completely lost in the monochromatic sea, which proved to be a problem as things started to get crazy. It's not really clear when you start spawning new ghosts which makes it hard to strategize around it. And the scrolling to the edges of the screen really hides needed information - it feels like this would work better as a static screen. In terms of being a partial bullet hell that feels good to play though, you got that down pretty well.
So cool! It's pretty neat how you are getting in your own way. :D The art style is great as well. If I could change anything, I'd add a roll or something to be able to evade the laser, and I'd add some sound effects.
Great job with this entry! Keep at it! :)
Thank you for the support!
Magnificent art style. Cool gameplay. I really like it.
jeez this game was much more then I expected. I LOVED THE ART THO. but it did feel a bit overwhelming how many of my ghosts were on the screen and how much was just going on at once. but like this is a really cool concept and I loved it a lot :)
This was a solid little game, and I think it could scale well beyond the game jam if you continue developing it. Nice work!
It's clear a lot of thought was put into the design of the entire thing. Unique take on the theme with enemies being your past selves! Heaps of polish too, well done.
My fav twin stick shooter in the jam so far! Simple but effective execution on the theme. It would have benefited from just a liiitle more juice, but you may be running the risk of making it overstimulating, so that's a tricky balance. Nice little game !
You're right that the game definitely needs to get juiced up, something I just couldn't do in time. I was barely able to finish the core gameplay loop and cobble together a UI before submission deadline. Made for a very interesting and memorable first GMTK jam experience :]
It's a fun little game loop and mechanic. The art style is very, very cool. Would have been nice to have some responsiveness to your actions like shooting sound fx, something to represent the machine being damaged, etc. The mimics didn't play into the challenge much for me, so maybe some enemies also need to actively thwart the player. Well done! Really cool submission.
Thanks for enjoying the game and the feedback! Next jam I do, I might intentionally make the art worse to force myself to focus on playtesting and additional features. Until I improve at efficiency, I'll have to make some tradeoffs .
Cool! Ilike the minimalist art and the music is fun. Would love to have sound effects for shooting etc. The effects for hitting and winning are sweet. Well done!
The music when the beam starts coming out of the middle is way fun. Great work!
It is a fun game! Nice job!
At first I thought that my copies were there to help me and digged my own grave with the bullet hell, nice!
Hehe, that is a fun reaction. One thing about the echoes is that their bullets aren't supposed to collide with the central boss machine, but I guess that bug slipped through when I changed around some stuff with collision layers. That might have contributed to you feeling that they were helping, so sorry about that :P. Glad you thought it was fun!
I am planning to do a patch and add some more content in the future because I really like the aesthetic and raid-lite boss mechanics I implemented, and have always wanted to make a bullet hell for some time. It might take a bit because school starts up again soon, but stay tuned!
This was a really fun and chaotic game! I just wish there were more sound effects, but other than that, it's a really well polished game
Yeah, SFX has historically been my game dev weak point. I probably should take some time to actually study sound design in a timely manner for games like I did for programming, art, and music haha. Thanks for playing and reviewing!
really cool game, love the music
I really enjoyed this game. Really fun idea for the prompt. :))
Neat! this was a cool little game that had all aspects working together to make a really fun experience! I'd probably just have a flashing circle for the main server shield to make that clearer, but everything else was spot on!
(It would be really nice if you can drop by and checkout my team's entry for the jam here)

Even though the game is short, it’s really beautiful. I also love this kind of design. When combined with the music, this art style creates something truly amazing!
Great music and fun game! I loved the concept. Great job!
