Nice idea. I like the way you implemented the theme, making every level harder. Unfortunately, once I sacrified my leg weapons, I could not make a jump in the 4th level. Also, the enemies are quite hard to in the beginning. Cool game with good audio :-)

The gameplay implications of a shotgun leg are fascinating! The giant green grenade launcher(?) didn't seem like it did any damage to enemies though (or I suck at aiming it)

I also got stuck on the fourth level because I couldn't reach a platform :(

@tomdeal @ale Thanks for the feedback I've changed the jump height so that all of the platforms can be reached without gun legs.

Nice game ! Simple and fun.

The weapons should all be equally interesting to create multiple ways to solve the game (the minigun makes it so easy that I would never have sacrificed it, while the big green stuff has always been my first sacrifice).

There is still a problem to finish the 4th level if you keep a leg-weapon: you can't go over the two enememies at the top of the level, so you can't kill them.

Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun ! Nice work !

Best game of the jam!!! - loved the mini gun and the shotgun - cool art style also!

@rolly Thanks for the feedback I've fixed the problem with the 4th level so that the game can be completed

I love the idea of having guns instead of limbs! That's really awesome feature that makes this so original. I also loved your sound effects and the fact every game is randomized. On the other hand, I think guns are not well balanced, I used almost exclusively shotgun and minigun and I hate that you don't have any kind of tutorial ingame. Anyway, your game is awesome and keep up the great work!

Really like the art style!

This was very fun. I've always been a fan of weapons that double as a jetpack :D so I sticked with that one till the end.

Fun concept great fun thanks

Oh, this was fun! The sounds and music were pretty sweet. The different weapon combinations possible really made me play again and again. With some more visual polish this could be really great!

Hahah well it made me laugh. I feel the theme could have worked in better, but this is a great twist on a Mario game. You still have to land on the enemy heads, except bullets. haha

Had a hard time at first, then I spawned with minigun on my leg and literally flew through the levels. Decided to play it a second time without the minigun on the leg since it seemed a bit easy. Still kept the minigun on my arm since it felt like the most powerful weapon. This was a great concept and very fitting of the theme.

This is so cool! I love how all the weapons affect your ability to move as well as (obviously) kill things. The fact that it randomizes what limbs they spawn on is even cooler. The enemies delayed weapon is actually really cool and rewards the player for learning to avoid it. The art is kinda basic but I honestly think it's adorable. The shotgun pumping and gattling gun rotating animations are awesome. Great entry!
