EVENT HORIZON
English
LASER WING! Your help is needed. An alien invasion has befallen our world. Please, save us!
Use your built-in weapon to take down the onslaught of enemies, as well as 7 hand-crafted bosses.
When in a pinch, activate your black hole power to absorb enemy bullets. Use the stored up energy to deliver a powerful beam that can take down foes in a single shot! But be careful, as too much pressure can leave your ship with lasting damage.
EVENT HORIZON is a 3-stage shoot-em-up, created in 10 days for Bullet Hell Jam 2023.

Verwende deine eingebaute Laserpistole um die Wellen von Gegnern, sowie 7 einzigartige Bosskämpfe zu besiegen.
Wenn in Gefahr, nutze deine Schwarzes-Loch-Kraft um die Projektile von Feinden zu absorbieren und deren Energie in einen starken Laser zu verwandeln, der Gegner in einem Treffer auslöschen kann. Doch sei vorsichtig! Wenn du zu lange absorbierst, wird der Druck zu viel für dein Raumschiff und du nimmst Schaden.

Played this one a Japanese dev get together, dev is a great guy! The mechanic is very ingenious too
Hi! We played your game on stream and really enjoyed it!
For being a jam game, this is really good. Great job making the black hole physics effect!
Nice game! It feels really polished for being created in 10 days! Music is bangin, graphics are cute, scene transitions are well made, really good stuff!
The gameplay itself is fun too! Firing feels a bit "meh", feels more like spraying water than firing a laser cannon but other than that its fine.
But I really dig the suck feature! Where did you take the inspiration from? I feel like I seen this feature somewhere. Or I might have not I don't know but its great. You trade in the ability to fire for a few seconds for a potential large blast of damage. I also like the fact that it cannot be cheesed by being spamable, since it basically flungs the projectile into you. I don't know if thats an intentional feature or just a side effect, but its neat either way.
There are other things like the menu buttons not doing what they advertise, but other than that, the game is good.
Suck feature is mostly inspired from the "black hole" theme, but I later discovered that it shares some elements with a power from Drainus as well.
As for menu buttons not doing what they advertise - could you give an example? I haven't encountered that in any of my tests. Thank you.
Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoy!
Sure! Playing around a bit with the menus, they do what they advertise, however, mouse selection is disregarded. For example, if you have the "start game" selected via keyboard and press options, the mouse press will activate the start game instead of the options. Same thing happens in the game over scene.
Oh! I see. Thanks for the elaboration. I'll take a look for the eventual post-jam version.
