absolutely love this game, played the demo A TON on armor games, super excited to see it come out. insta buy2 found this helpful
** Truly understand why LINOVICTUS was Winner of LÖVE Jam 2026! ** Played the demo - Could barely contain myself until the release! Bought it ASAP! Challenging, but not impossible. I'm not usually a bullet-hell gamer. I'm an old gamer, tbh, and remember arcade shooters from the days when they were in a stand-alone box at the local pizza parlor. (Yeah, I know, ancient, right?!) Usually, I choose cozy over kill-kill. Despite my customary aversion to this genre, I'm riveted by LINOVICTUS Tune Edition! Intelligent design and visuals. Choice of difficulty level, loads of upgrades and linocraft options. I can play without bothering to connect a controller - and still not insta-death myself! What? Soundtrack just fits perfectly! It's stimulating, but not overly so. Too often, shooters have nerve-jarring, anxiety-inducing background noise that sets me up for impending doom even after I've stopped playing. I find this game's soundtrack keeps me on my toes - but in a non-lockjaw, I'm in the zone, Zen way. Can you say that a geometric stick shooter is PLUSH? I can! Escaping to play as Lena for a while each day is my new addiction!1 found this helpful
Fun! Scratches the Geometry Wars itch with some roguelite elements thrown in - I like the enemy variety and there's some clever designs in regards to their behaviour, plus I find the game to be a lot less visually overwhelming than some of the other Geometry Wars-likes released in recent years.

This is a great game. Why is no one talking about it?
I like the little amoeba guys
