Pretty cool game. Cool use of the theme. VERY VERY FUN while it lasted. How about more levels and a Steam release? Maybe add more powers, like shooting up and down, or a bomb shot, or enemies? Graphics aren't bad, but that "charm" just isn't there. Audio. Oh my ears. You added a pretty repetitive song. Thanks god that the game was pretty short. Humor - nothing special. Mood - if you want to make it look like retro - you've almost nailed it, only that repetitive song should be swapped for something 8-bit. I recommend learning Famitracker.

I love it. The last level makes me think this could be the next hard game (Like Kaizo Mario or I Wanna Be the Guy) Keep up the great work!!

Nice game! But yeah... that level 6 must be pixel perfect I guess. Good job :)

I beat the last level, did take a bit, Cool game, would be great to see more levels
Lovely game. Made it to the end, but couldn't find any of the promised cake :'(((

I quite like the unique mechanics, and that gun animation is great. level 6 wasn't THAT difficult really once I figured out how to jump off the first ledge without dying. Very very good effort with much room for expansion (ooh, and gamepad controls).
This is the most fun entry I've tried yet, good job!

ok i beat the game and i didnt get cake, so now you get a bad scoring. j/k , ok so my only con with this game was that the colliders were too big, maybe make them smaller and be a little forgiving on your players.

There was no cake! Nice idea and cool implementation of the theme.

That was a really fun idea. I wish there were more levels like the last one (which is a nice complaint to have really). The song got pretty obnoxious though, and the transformation animation felt very slow compared to the speed of the rest of the game. Other than that, loved it. Good job.

Fun! I had to quit level 6 before I popped a blood vessel though... :) A really solid entry with some neat mechanics.
Great little entry here. Nice idea.
I love this game! The colors and music puts you in a good mood for the frustratingly hard but awesome last level, even though the cake was false advertisement it felt great to complete it!
You really should consider continuing the development (and keeping it as hard as the last level!) because as it always is when something great ends - you want more!
Fantastic entry!
Very fun game! It took me a while, but I managed to beat the last level. Great use of the theme. In fact, I had a pretty similar idea, and I also made a game where you turn into a gun that turns into a bullet, but it is a top-down shooter instead of a platformer.

One of my favorites! I like the tight controls and the simple mechanics. Obviously, more levels would be really nice, especially because I think that the mechanics can be combined to create a few interesting situations.

Great! Like the Pixel art... But... The Cake is a Lie! :D

Spoiler alert...
The cake is a lie!!!
I was actually very impressed with the mechanics. Slighly smoother movement and pixel perfect collision detection, and this would be a very good game. I had fun all the way through. I'd love to see a newer version with more levels!
Well done!
OMG, I loved everything in your game. Great pixel art, old school platformers mechanics, very interesting concept with bullet, sounds are amazing too! Great job, I would be happy to see post-LD version with more abilities and levels.
P.S. Last once didn't seem to be that hard, once you get mechanics, it gets pretty easy)
Not bad. The graphics are really nice! Sound's good. The idea is cool, however, the last level is enormously frustrating, especially the jump after the first powerup.
I made it in the end though. You could definitely build a longer game out of this!
Great game too easy for pros like me though :D
Nicely done good job

Love the idea, and the levels are challenging yet rewarding. I'd have liked another gameplay element to complement the bulletshifting to really flesh out the mechanics.
Great work

This game pissed me off so much that I bought a real cake. I won.

Good idea. Nicely done. Haven't beat level 6.
lovely looking, fun game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/_jtEhCyw5p8
