You could consider this a hand drawn version Ad Nauseum.

The game consists of three levels: day, afternoon, and night. Each level features different enemies and a different style (shapes, cartoons and numbers and letters).

To power up your gun, collect falling + signs and avoid - ones.

Features three difficulties.

Made in two days for the GameJolt Game Jam.

Completely hand drawn.

*Disable blurring effect in game if you are using Windows 7 and have had problems.

It's fun an addictive!
Needs some tweaking though:
-starts too soon. I don't think it needs a tutorial or anything, the enemies just need to appear a little later. Give the player some moment alone or make it face a really easy first enemy. That will give time to figure out the whole thing.
-When I saw the item that decreasses your fire I thought it looked just like the bullets itself. that made me arrive to this conclusion: red bars make my ammo stronger, green crosses are HEALTH. but I was wrong! You have to be very clear here. There's no need for subtlety on this kind of games.
-Needs a health item.

Lovely-looking game. I really enjoyed the art and effects and how that contributed to the theme.
Gameplay was fun and interesting, but I felt kind of "thrown in there" when it started. A tutorial would have been awesome to have. This is awesomely put together for a Game Jam game, but even something as minimal as a screen displaying the controls (or even a simple text object) at the start of the game would have been really great to have.
There was also not a huge sense of level progression. Your description says that there were three levels of this game, but I only ever saw the first one. Admittedly, this was partially due to my lack of skill at bullet-hell-esque games, but also because I quit before I knew that this wasn't just an "endless mode"/highscore-oriented sort of game. There was no immediately apparent way for me to tell how far I was in the level, or what the overall level goal was (kill this many enemies, survive this long, reach this point goal, etcetera)

Otherwise, this is a very nice game. I give it a well-deserved 4 and hope to see more awesomeness from you in the future!

Too much like Ad Nauseam. I don't like it after about 5 minutes.

Cool shooter, but a bit hard with that amount of hitpoints.
