Prelude:

We've all played strategy games (if you are a degenerate like me then that would be gacha games). However we are all guilty of sending out our best soldiers into the battlefield avoiding our weakest options. So here's a taste of your own medicine. Have fun appeasing to the player in order for him to keep you on his roster. You better keep your performance up else another individual will rise over you. Maybe after this you'll appreciate the default characters more. Hehe..

Themes:
Collectables: Instead of collecting objects or teammates you are the collectible. As the game progresses the player will collect other crewmates. You'll have to keep your performance up in order to stay on the roster. If you don't the player might select someone else over you.

There and Back: Once you complete the third level Mikan will be unlocked. If the player selects her to be on the roster she will heal you and other team members. After a certain amount of time she will go there to heal other team members. But then she will come back to heal you. This process repeats until you die or complete the level.

The idea is fun, but, well... the gameplay is a bit empty (imo).

Nice game! :)

Oof. The gameplay is empty as in it's too easy? I was experimenting with the difficulty curve a lot. I don't think I should make it harder because some players did have problems or weren't as experienced with bullet hell / shooter games. How should I make the gameplay less empty?

idk.. it was just my first impression of the game!

Still fun it is... but it's a bit repetitive... like you die, and then you start again with some white boxes and red rectangles...

I don't really know what i mean by "empty", but that was the word i feeled like when i played your game.

But i still enjoyed your game :D

Ah, there are other enemies later in the game other than the red triangles, but I guess I do need to work on pacing. I didn't introduce the other enemies earlier because I didn't want to throw too much at the player at once.

Well.. i haven't got far in the game... i am really bad in these kind of games :P

I cannot move. Neither arrow keys and wasd are working when using a mouse. With touchpad its difficult to control.

That's weird.. So the game chooses only keyboard or only mouse? Oof.. In the future I'll add an option to move with WASD, and shoot with arrow keys.

how does the game relate to the restriction?
