Fun little arcade game. I have some feed back! If the little guys are too close to the bottom you actually cant see them and don't know where they are moving! Other than that it was pretty good!

Fun idea, and a good use of the theme.

loved it! I liked the background and the bullet patterns of enemies. would suggest some feedback like the enemy gets knocked back when hit or maybe a sprite change, and also different colored bullets so it doesn't gettoo confusing. overall really fun!

Clever spin on a SHMUP and also like the pun on the theme. I felt that the difficulty curve was a bit off. The first phase felt really easy and I initially thought it was all it was going to be because it went on so long, then it got hard *fast*. I liked that the oil monsters, basket, and fry character were all thematically cohesive but I don't think the player's gun fits the theme as much. Did you consider just having the player avoid shots without being able to shoot back?

I must say, I've never considered the possibility of a bullet-hell where the hero is a fry. I love it. I would like to see the fry basket moving sooner. Once it moves, the enemies combined with that groovy background makes a pretty good challenge!

unique interpretation of the theme, for sure. The gameplay is fun enough, if basic. The moving platform did a good bit to spice it up. The background is interesting, but terribly distracting

Clever little game with a unique take on the Deeper and Deeper theme. The gameplay is simplistic but addictive once you get to the moving platform section. I liked the weird background and didn't find it distracting as some others did. Well done.

That went from casual shooter to bullet-hell really fast! Nice entry!

That's a cool background.

A really nice casual shooter game :)

OHHHH YOU'RE DEEP FRYING IT! This is a super fun concept, and it could be expanded upon greatly! Well done!

Great game! I love the deep fried pun. When the basket starts moving it gets really challenging in an interesting way. The difficult might ramp up a bit too much at that point, so you may need to ease into it a bit more.

Great job! It was a nice casual shooter game, though the title screen is a tad finicky.

A really cool interpretation of the theme! It feels fun to play, and I love how it quickly ends up turning into a bullet hell. The background also adds a lot of style to the game visually.

This was a great shooter, and could definitely be a good game if expanded upon. Great job!

very imaginative idea. Who would have thought you could make a game about shooting grease in a deep fryer? good luck with the jam and nice work!

One suggestion I'd make is that the enemies shouldn't shoot projectiles at you off-screen. I initially only saw the projectiles and I thought those were the "oil monsters", and was confused why I couldn't hit them. Creative idea though!

Hello, this game was pretty fun, it controls nicely, it gets a bit too crazy for me, not used to bullet hells, but it do be quite a nice challenge and pretty decently balanced. The artstyle is quite simple, as well as the mechanics themselves, nonetheless. Great game bud!

Bullet hell in the fryer, love it :) Such a simple but great game. Felt a bit too easy at first until the fryer started to move. Well done!
