[Valkyrie Command]

Looks great, plays well, but its too hard for me. Difficulty getting in the way of seeing more of it

[GRiPPY]

X/Z doesnt translate well to non-english keyobard layouts, making this even more confusing

[Dominion Ex]

Great one! Charming low-fi art style and difficulty is well tuned.
Didn't really get the point of some of those weapons (didnt see your manual below ..) but still enjoyed myself :)

Extar responds:

Glad you appreciated the difficulty curve, it's hard catering to people who might not have played a shmup before whilst still giving a bit of a challenge for the veterans. The different weapons are there to give a few different ways to play. You can focus upgrades on just one weapon, or spread them around. Thanks for the review!

[Neon Shadows]

Now that's an interesting one! I aggree with what's been said, the inconsistent resets spoil it to an extent that I'm not sure how well some of the levels are designed.
Some mechanics also feel gimmicky and unnecessary - does the shadow really add anything, is the detection rate of your guards allowing for any leeway at all?
but overall I think it shows alot of potential, being a gamejam entry just even more so.
keep it up!

[Pewt 'em Up!]

Great effort put into this one, really nice! Customization, sound, dialogue, can appreciate that.
I second the notion that it starts off too slow, taking control away during dialogue is also kinda bothersome.
But all that is a matter of tuning. Think you got a great game there, should be polished to a shine! Good luck!

Kitadashi responds:

Thank you for your feedback! 🍀 I'll be working on some changes in future updates.

[Madness Roulette]

Nice idea, nice execution .. pun intended.
I feel this isnt entirely random, some onboarding going on perhaps?

larrynachos responds:

The single player is entirely random. The gun odds are as such:

If random(0,gunodds) = gunodds -> die

[Skele Magic]

Well done, excellent puzzles!

[TREES' ADVENTURE - Demo]

What level? What pickups? I just wanna go faaast!
Nice sense of speed :)

[Hell Fight]

Great game. Well focused and executed. Had some difficulty spikes that could be ironed out, but overall quite rewarding experience.
