Under rating threshold (show) Armored Pegasus needs to be banned for hacking. There is NO WAY you can possibly beat this in just 6 seconds even on the easiest diffculty.

Under rating threshold (show) Typical... Great game with an awesome message... *SPOILER* . . . It seems very likely that NASA, an American space program, would send out "defense drones" that attack anything that moves, even when on the edge of death... Video games, showing us just how violent we Americans are... XD

Under rating threshold (show) This is a good game. Well constructed, well polished, and has decent replay value. Especially for 48 hours worth of work. The story is good too, although repetitive. Shrapnel mode is unrealistically hard, and there should be a way to skip all the dialogue at once. But good effort.

Under rating threshold (show) Freaking 4 seconds after I kill boss. FIX THAT. I DID IT IN 2:31 BECAUSE OF THAT.

Developer response from Arkeus

If I make the timer stop sooner, I would also make it require 2:26 instead of 2:30. It's balanced to make it a challenge around that extra time before the clock stops.

Under rating threshold (show) Great game, even the story: And there isn't normally any in bullet hell games. I especially liked the twist in "secret mode", but I only knew about it after reading the comments. Maybe add a hint after one has completed the game once?

Under rating threshold (show) Overall decent could be a bit larger screen does feel cramped, difficulty jump from initial story to story+ is a bit steep given the size of the enemy fire compared to your own. 3/5

Under rating threshold (show) Extremely satisfying game. I really like how you can beat the story mode with almost no upgrades. Story+ should however drop more metal, so that players won't have to grind story mode over and over again when upgrading.

Under rating threshold (show) ==Enemy types== Swarmer: Blue--flies slowly toward you Red--flies toward you and fires at a slow rate Green--remains in place then "dashes" to your location before firing a burst Orange--has the fastest movement speed, actively chases your ship. Does not turn unless it ricochets off a wall. Always rebounds towards your ship. Fast enough to outrun missiles, effectively diverting them from hitting anything. Zoner: Purple--flies either vertically or horizontally while occasionally firing a spread. Fires more often when close to your ship. Yellow--flies around, then fires in a spiral when it stops Sniper--does not move, fires a dense two-shot spread from any range Other: Disc: flies slowly around the map

Under rating threshold (show) Brilliant. Some minor adjustments are required: Please inform the player that they keep their upgrades on death! I didn't know this at first, and spent ages dying in the first 10 seconds thinking that my ship was terrible. Despite this, the game is brilliant!

Under rating threshold (show) After having playing this im start to asking if this developer have never created a flop game in his life, because i never seen it. Even his most low rated games are just awesome even if we talk about a game created under 48 hours. It was really enjoyable, even in his shortness. Congrats for the work, hope you continue to make others.

Under rating threshold (show) A few odd issues: your own bullets are nearly invisible, they could use some better coloration. For some reason my mouse did not correctly line up with the tooltips in the shop (the buttons worked fine though) although the location changed each time I opened the shop. Losing focus while in the shop hangs the game (!)

+ - !

Developer response from Arkeus

I've found the tooltip issue and will upload a fix for that soon. I'm not able to reproduce the losing focus hanging the game, so if anyone has info on that, it'd held! As for bullets, I found that having them harder to see made it much less confusing and frustrating when trying not to die, but I can see your point.

Under rating threshold (show) 5/5. One suggestion though, It'd be nice if the death screen told me how accurate I was (as in what percentage of my bullets fired actually hit enemies).

Under rating threshold (show) Very nice game! I came here expecting a simple shooter/bullet hell with not much going for it, and instead got a game with satisfying upgrades, many different difficulties and modes, and alternate endings. I felt pretty satisfied when I got the secret ending. xD Very nicely done. 5/5 from me!
