Normal => Standard speed, a big enemy spawn every 5 seconds Creepy => Fast speed, a big enemy spawn every 5 seconds Nightmare => Fast speed, a big enemy spawn every 2.5 seconds
Higher -> Less time to react to changes of direction, but more leeway to avoid big enemy by moving down
Lower -> More time to react, but if too low must avoid big enemy by moving up which goes against the rain
Stiff controls are tough, though. It seems to act as a barrier between my actual dexterity and the character motion, so I'm not sure if I lost because I lack reactivity or just because of the fixed speed. I know it's the standard for many bullet hells, I just question it every time it puts me to disadvantage (or at least I think so... Maybe if I had the option to toggle it, I could compare).
Thanks for your comment! I had to rush some things because I had no time to implement everything, and I know there is also a bug with the hi-scores, but the rules of the game jam don't allow me to make patches... I'll probably do them after the results! Thanks for the constructive criticism!

other than the fact that nightmare and creepy are easier than normal, its pretty fun (if a bit simple). Good job
Thank you!
For info:
Normal => Standard speed, a big enemy spawn every 5 seconds
Creepy => Fast speed, a big enemy spawn every 5 seconds
Nightmare => Fast speed, a big enemy spawn every 2.5 seconds
Interesting position balance...

But for a 1-day implementation, good job anyway.
