Bullet Hell Artistry #4: Unworldly Manifestations
Judging notes from Crested
"Bovine Brine Brawl" by Pickled Cow
=====================================================================================================================================
My judging criteria is entirely based on pattern design with bonuses or penalties for other factors such as gameplay systems, presentation and creativity.
Each boss pattern will be rated up to 10 points and the overall score will be the average of all patterns.
=====================================================================================================================================
Played on Normal.
The 3D backgrounds lagged my computer out. I think you might need to optimize those...

Non 1 - Decent non. 8/10
Spell 1 - Good use of readable curvy lasers. 8/10
Non 2 - Very good non. 9/10
Spell 2 - Amazingly creative idea, but uh, does the hitbox actually change? 9/10
Non 3 - BoWaP 6/10
Spell 3 - Thank goodness the hitboxes are small. It's a decent survival. 8/10
Non 4 - Urumi 7/10
Spell 4 - YYDO without huge hitboxes... it works? 8/10
Spell 5 - It feels a bit overtuned if trying to shoot down and free if timing out. 7/10
Spell 6 - A very well made final that isn't just a mashup of previous patterns. 9/10

Bonus/Penalty - The HD looks nice and I do think it actually helped quite a bit with dodging. Also the HUD indicator for nons/spells/timeout being taken from BDitB is very good. +0.5

Overall Score - 8.4/10
Very solid patterns all around, very solid boss fight.
