How does your game represent "Power"?
The different combinations of letters P, O, W, E, and R completely determine your power in the game.
Any number of Ps, Os, and Ws loaded into a bullet shell will combine to create bullets with different effects.
P-iercing power determines how many enemies your bullets can hit
O-ffense power determines the damage of your bullets
W-arping power determines how many fragments your bullets shoot out
E-nergy is your health
R-oll power is how many times you can dodge roll

very cool and easy to pick up
Nailed the classic arcade feel from the graphics to the tight gameplay and awesome mechanics!
Brilliant game. Love the look and felt fun and smooth to play. 10/10
Thank you for playing. Love that you liked the game!
this was great! looks and sounds really good, one of my faves so far, good job! :D
Thank you so much! I am glad you had fun :)
Good game! Once you get a bullet that has a ton of characters, it becomes a lot of fun to shred enemies. I like how the enemies also look like the POWER characters, and the theming is overall great. There isn't really an incentive to make multiple bullets as having one with 5 Ps, Os, and Ws kills everything in a few seconds. Actually, having 5 POW bullets lost me the round as I went from shredding all enemies to killing one per shot. But overall great work!
Hey, I am glad you enjoyed the game! Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry you lost the round with that combo. We will definitely try to balance the combinations better when we get the chance.
Thanks to your first comment I managed to start the game. I took me some time to understand it, but the gameplay is awesome. Great idea with appealing visuals, but it is hard to understand in the beginning.
Hey! Thanks for playing the game and I am glad you enjoyed the gameplay. I apologize for the UI problems, we will try to update a build that fixes all those issues as soon as the game jam ends!
visually appealing at first, I really like the art, I really like the idea of loading bullets, but as soon as I got in I clicked a menu and couldnt close it :(
Yeah, the start menu seems to be not as intuitive as we first thought, I apologize. You should drag and drop the letters "P, O, W, E, R" into the empty bullet shell (not the ones with POW already in it) to start the game.
If you meant the Loadout menu. You can just press E again to close the Loadout menu
