How does your game fit the theme?
Most notably, the main mechanic is a deep breath!

I liked the quotes when breathing in deeply, creative man!
Thank you very much!
Did my first run on the stream today, https://youtube.com/live/fTHWhdgExgA
Absolutely stunning visual work with the colors, shapes and rendering! The audio track playing in breathing-in moment made me also really curious. Was not able to listen to it well enough during the game, but it still set the mood nicely and felt unique and personal somehow. Well done!
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the visuals and the audio, and I had a lot of fun watching your playthrough on the stream! Thanks for playing!
May I ask, where was the breath-in voice audio from?
They are the inspiring words of the atheletes from the Theme Reveal video! https://youtu.be/fJ3ovjKiDdg
Nice!
There is another game called 'Suspire' or something so seeing Inspire gave a deja vu feeling ahaha.
Polish is top notch. The game mechanics are satisfying whether it's breathing or hitting enemies.
Didn't expect the upgrades tbh but that increases the retention greatly.
A fun satisfying game. Loved it! Great work, Champ! 😁
Also - A unique color palette. Made to work well. Takes a good artist's ability that! 😉
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🥰
Fun game. The visual could be simplified.
Really fun take on the vampire survival vibe! I really love how the visuals play together with the controls to provide a really good experience. Only thing I can think of what might be improved is the audio, the sfx by itself are fine, but the music really doesn't fit that great and inspirational quotes whenever you breath are distracting at best, since you can't really focus on what they're saying anyways. Still, I love how polished and fun to play this game was, really good job!
Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll definitely take a look at the audio and see how I can improve it.
I really enjoyed playing this game and its addictive nature! Super polished, the controls are simple and easy to understand. Like one of the other comments mentioned, I too like the whistle upgrade, and that encouraged more 'breathing' which is what the theme is all about. Very nicely done, thank you for making this game!
Thank you so much for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Fun, and I liked the hypnotic music and presentation.
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
all 5 stars cool game
Thanks for the high praise! 🥰
Well made and polished game! Congrats!
Thank you!
Very well made! Good music and presentation. If there would be anything to improve, I would say it's bit too easy for me. What's happening on level 12 should be happening on level 7 :) Regardless, good job, congratulations!
Thank you for your kind words and feedback!
I must say, this is a very qualitative game that was hard to let go. Reminded me Osmos. I thought for some time that the stars are bonuses. How wrong I was :)
Great work!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! ;) 🌠
Oh wow, this is incredible!
I really loved everything about this, however, when i got the whistle i didn't really se any reason to fire bullets anymore lol

Right! I'll have to nerf that, I tend to learn towards a Whistle build as well haha
This game is definitely very well done. It is a classic shoot them up like Blasteroids, with nice physics and effects. There is a breathing mechanic to attracts power ups to you, and a breath out mechanic to use the same power ups as projectiles against the enemies, which is quite a neat idea. But personally it feels like everything is so relaxing, the music, the sound of the rain, the water effects that I don't feel I need to calm down or chill at all. Maybe more enemies or faster enemies would have give me the adrenaline and then, in between levels, the relaxing music would have made me calm down. So I think the game need some stronger contrast between action and relaxation to hit that spot.
Thank you for your kind words and suggestions! I do like the idea of adding difficulty modifiers to challenge players like yourself, and I would love to add peaceful levels to let the player take a breather, like the Hot Springs in Hollow Knight's Pantheons!
The breathing mechanic on this game is so good!!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
This is so polished
Thank you!
