Controls are a bit hard when you're using the keyboard as aiming and moving becomes pretty awkward. I didn't have a gamepad to plug to try with that unfortunately.

I definitely like the core game mechanic!

Really interesting art style and mechanic man. Although the ninja does seem a bit out of place! Overall top job :D

Good gameplay mechanic, but as tanis says a bit hard to control with the keyboard.

Well done.

Hi there, very well executed for a gamejam. The core mechanics are well implemented.
I like the unique graphic style with the hand drawn and scanned objects. A proper tutorial would have been nice, so the player can learn everything step by step. The keyboard controls feel a bit awkward, but ok.

Game mechanics are really interesting, and the game made me laugh a lot :) Collisions are very imprecise though, and make the game quite difficult.
Overall, I had a good time playing this entry !

I couldn't get it to work with keyboard. What am I missing?

Nice Game Idea and Mechanics, The ninja is cool.

Haha, love it! Music is spot on, the art style really plays like a children's storybook, and the concept is great! Only thing I would say is that controlling with a keyboard felt extremely hard to do, and not as responsive as I would've hoped. Perhaps a control toggle for WASD to be movement instead of aim?

Its a little slippery, but i liked the handdrawn graphic assets

Wow, very original idea. And graphics, drawing on a paper is actually innovative. Music is pretty monotonic, tho.

The core idea is kind of unique and very well thought! I really like the character pixel art style, and wish the rest of the game could have been the same way :)

Again, great idea with the game mechanic, well done!

Very nice artworks design.... very original. Had some problems with keyboard controls + my hands :D But with a little time i worked well enough to play some good minutes. Well done !

Tried this again and got a better hang of it. It must be more responsive with a controller- sorry! The graphics are great and the core mechanic is cool- will try again in the future when I have a controller.

Love the art, the controls could have been just a little tighter though. Sets a very interesting mood. Oh and the shape-shifting mechanic works like a charm.
