I love the characters, gameplay, and artstyle! The beginning is great and there's tons of potential here! But the game crashed once I entered the hotel.... If the bugs are fixed then I could totally see this game being a huge hit!
Sheesh!!! Great game with fun mechanics! Love the unique catching and throwing bullet hell combat! Great potential!!
Well I came in wanting to enjoy the game and I was to a decent degree,but with the way saves work it seems they don't btw... I encountered a bug where one of the menus stayed up with no way to close it,A crash after getting to a giant bee hive,and missing audio for part of the first boss fight. Would be a decent bug bullet hell game,but when you crash and there is no save to continue from...Kinda hurts the playability of the game too much.
Actually was really enjoying myself until I got to a bug where an invisible wall shows up when entering the gem cave. cant get past it so the game is effectively over. killed my mood fr.
interesting concept for a 3D bullet hell combat platformer, but it's way too unpolished/buggy for me to recommend beyond morbid curiosity. it's good that it's free though and i hope the game improves.
