This is a clever twist on the one bullet idea! Great work! I really thought you made something fun and arcadey with this! <3

A lovely fast-paced top-down shooter, I enjoyed it through :) It's very stylish too, with the music and effects. Nice job!
Yeah I am really happy you pointed that out. At the begging there was going to be no powering up system. But after some playtesting I realized that people didn't use the magnet as I wanted them to. After some maybe-we-should-drop-the-idea thoughts, I came up with this solution. I think it works pretty well. Thanks for playing.
I will test your game when home, I am on an phone now. Good luck!!
Really interesting game, pretty well designed and stuff. I think that controlling the bullet with the magnet was very tricky, and it was pretty impossible to get to max power while still killing all the enemies, but hey maybe i just suck.

Fun little game! Liked the reshoot mechanic. Maybe if enemies didn't get hurt when the bullet is just flying around, it would encourage to use this mechanic a lot more. Also, the game felt a bit slow imo.

This is a really awesome take on the "one bullet" gimmick! It's very crisp and easy to get the hang of, and has great sound design. The bullet is a little tough to control sometimes, but I guess that's part of the challenge. Great entry!
Awesome game... has been playing this one for a while...
all the best for the rest of the jam

This game is sooo juicy! I love the sound effects and the amount of screenshake is on point! I've seen many games with only one bullet but this one is different because of the magnet so good job on that! I would only suggest speeding up how fast the bullet travels back to you because it slows down the combat a little bit. Other than that amazing game and great job!
Well, this... is just perfect.
The bullet mechanic is really good and tricky at the same time. Tried keeping the power at MAX but some situations forced me to recall de bullet completely. It's challenging but not frustrating.
Also congratulations on the sound design, art, juice and overall game feel. Those are 10/10!
Overall: approach on spot with the theme, masterfully executed and simply fun.
