Beautiful game that is challenging and yet not so drawn out that you think it's impossible to win. I finally defeated the Vatn and I couldn't have felt anymore satisfied than I have right now. Great game and a must play for any shooter fan.
Vatn Squid (Icelandic for water) is a short Bullet Hell Boss Rush Shmup made in a 48 hour period for the GameJolt Weekend Jam!

He helped design a majority of the play mechanics with me, and he also made the awesome music specially for the game!
IceWave
He set the creative theme of underwater when he showed me the Vatn sprite he was making! He also codesigned on a lot of small details in the rush!
Vatn Squid is compatible with XBox360 controllers! I personally recommend it if you have one, its a blast!

PLEASE NOTE:
By nature shmups are pretty difficult games. While I've made all of the effort to balance skilled shmuppers and newbies' play styles, this game is probably going to be VERY difficult for beginners, and fairly easy for seasoned veterans.
