Congrats on your first game jam entry! :thumbsup:

I think there's a small bug in the mouse aiming, which you might want to look into. When I was playing the bullets all seemed to fire from the top of the gun instead of from the barrel.

in a wierd quirky way the art worked for this game. i would like to have had seen better shooting mechanic used on the gun, it felt weird that the gun rotated like it did. with the gun thing fixed this could be a pretty neat game

@pennycook @jcmonkey The gun kept being broken when I built. It still shot where you pointed and I was out of time, so I just cut my losses. Wish I had more time to work that out but thanks for the feedback!

Great Job on your first Entry! Here's few suggestions for you.

- As you said, gun pointing system need to be fixed. It's quite confusing when projectile comes out of the side of the gun

- Second, you should use proper font. You are ALLOWED to use font in compo. It would overall make the game more readable

Anyways, congrats on finishing your game in time!

The gameplay is obviously limited but the art is kinda neat. Keep it up

It was pretty fun. One problem is that the bullets come out of the side of the gun, instead of the barrel. The art style was very nice though.

Love the art!

Well done :) !! I really like those wobbly character animations and that custom, hand drawn font for score and the play and menu buttons ! I would of got the player jumping a little higher and of course added a few sound effects, like for shooting, when an enemy is killed and when the player is hurt. That would of made everything feel that much more exciting and satisfying ! But all in all great job, keep it up :) !!

I definitely like the idea of this game and having your misses create an obstacle is a very fun idea. At first I thought I could get around it by not shooting at the ground, but that eventually gets back to you too. My top score was 50 but by that point I don't think anything would have saved me hahaha. They come pretty quick. Nice job and great idea for a mechanic that limits your movement. Congrats on finishing and good luck!

Nice concept. Game was smooth and looked great. I wish there was a way to remove the death balls, but I guess that would defeat the purpose. All in all, nice job!

The idea was great and the art is fun. Gameplaywise, it became almost impossible very quickly. Nice job though!

Congrats for this first entry!

I really like the hand drawn graphics of your game, and the simple animations you made. Everything happen a little too quick, maybe scaling the difficulty from a simpler point to hard would be a good idea. At least it was hard for me, I could not get to really high scores.

But this is great, a beautiful compo entry!
