Clever game!
Took me a while before getting that I could possess the drones haha
I felt a lot of autoaim on the enemies which made the game hard from the beginning. Also how the bullet move coupled with the camera controller made everything a lot more complex which could be toned down by slowing the speed a bit and make it move a bit more physically.
It was short and for the short amount of time also fun to play. But there are couple things which would benefit from more clarity, like the lifebar. It seems that there are two health states, one for the bullet and one shared for the robots? The other thing is that the orientation is a bit unclear. It would be cool if there were some markers on the walls or the floor to indicate in which direction I've to go. Nice entry :)
This is excellent! My only objection is that I feel like it would benefit from a bit more checkpointing.
that was challenging. But it was fun when you got control of the robots and did the slow mo shot. I feel it was a bit too fast paced. Maybe if you had more health or something. But overall liked the concept and rolling around as a bullet is fun.
Pretty fun to weave around enemies and take single shots. Smoothing out the reorientation of the camera after shooting and possessing would make it feel great. Cool entry!
This game has a really nice flow. Kinda hard, and haven't been able to beat it. Really love the core concept, and it's a great take on the theme.

Took the bet to play without reading any instructions, after i few tries i found out how to enter a bot, after that the difficulty wasn't too high, completed the whole thing in my first try, but it was really great and intense, it is quite polished and rushing to an enemy, trying to make a shot worth it is a great feeling.
I'm not sure i really understood how the health worked, do i have a different healthbar per robot ?
The only thing i found was a bit underdesigned was the levels, when you play you're really moving in all the directions, you're getting in robots, which have their own orientation then you spawn back in bullet where you shot, it is really easy to lose orientation, and several levels i didn't knew where the next part was, so i went back a little before understanding where i was, so maybe some kind of map or objective compass or something could help a bit with that.
Also i'm almost sure the buttons spawned an enemy but again i didn't really understood what happened, try doing like in the portal games, where the buttons have either a symbol or a visual "cable" type of thing to connect them to whatever they do.
Anyway, had a lot of fun and the gameplay feels great, very good job !
Dude, so frickin awesome. My only disappointment is that I couldn't get any further than I did. But I pushed on for quite a few runs, and made great progress. It felt so cool absolutely wrecking areas that I had had difficulty in earlier. And I loved the speed of everything. It made restarting each time feel so much better. Good job.
Hold it right there buddy. The learning curve was amazing. First time I passed no rooms, then one, then two, then three and so on. I think your curve was perfection, giving the player a bit of new each run. And with each later run I developed strategies that helped with earlier rooms, almost speed running them. Maybe a bit more of the issue was that robots that you possessed could start off damaged and die the moment you possessed them, which ended a few of my later runs.
Really cool twitch shooter idea, slightly reminds me of quake in a way. The camera is a bit wonky at times and you can get disoriented by where you teleport to, but other than that this is really well executed.
This is super good. It's hard to describe, but the game's design and controls are just really intuitive: I didn't see any controls tips (though I didn't read your game page or the About menu either, so I probably just missed it), but it took very little trial and error to get a pretty good handle on the game, and this really weird mechanic was pretty intuitive to use after a while! Big props on the design here. The robots look really really cool as well, the animations are excellent, and the music drove the game well. Overall, probably the best submission I've seen. Really good work.
Really original. With some more work put into it this could be really amazing game. I really like the idea of being single bullet that rolls around the level. Great work!
Great game!
This is the first game I've come across that reminds me of my own in a way. It's wildly different of course, but the element of switching characters to reload was something I came up with as well
I adore the idea of a playable bullet possessing robots. In the robots I literally felt like a glass cannon, which was exciting! I did find myself getting lost a little, and did find myself wishing for full WASD bullet movement, but those are minor nitpicks at best.
Up with the best games I've played so far!
congratulations bro! you have gained yourself a fan...
superb game...
all the best for the rest of the jam

I really like games that do frantic action well, and yours certainly does! The slowed time and zoom in effects on shooting were a really nice touch. I did have some trouble with the mouse controls disorienting me a few times. It probably has something to do with the camera rolling forward or backward when moving, which makes it hard to see where you're going.
BF+SniperElite on minimum =D Very cool, nice work!
wow pretty cool! i didnt have any idea what i was doing at first. i didnt realize the controls were in the about page. sometimes i would posses a guy and die instantly casue two bots shooting at u at once. But i love the concept.
