Really fun and engaging, The aiming feels super precise and the character movement has just the right amount of speed to it, lotts of juicy feedback too, i'd say the main issue is some levels you put the difficulty a bit too high, especially when using many multi hit ennemies at the same time, though this is the only issue i have, and is not that big of a deal.

Solid game overall nontheless Congrats ! :)

This is the best one projectile game of the jam I've seen so far. Love the decition to make the bullet always bounce in an arc to where the player is right now. This increases the pace and removes frustrating randomnes. Would have prefered to press W to jump.

Hey, this game is really cool! You executed on the one bullet idea suuuper well - it feels very impactful, and it's clearly communicated. I think that a big part of these themes is trying to make the idea into a meaningful piece of gameplay, where "only one" is something your actually thinking about or feeling in the game. You absolutely succeed here!

The levels felt a bit claustrophobic and frustrating to me, but that may just be a preference thing. Overall great job!

Check out our game Einnsámr too! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/463168

I am literally gushing about this game and I wish I could give it a perfect score. I love it so much and is by the most fun I've had with a game jam entry. There is something really special that I feel when playing this game that I don't feel with a lot of other entries. I cannot explain what it is, but you have some kind of special ingredient or secret sauce. 

Like I said previously, I wish I could give this a perfect score in every category, because in my opinion it is my favorite entry. The only reasons that I cannot give it a perfect score is because it is admittedly too difficult and I question the enemy placement (which is design in my opinion). Just to be clear, i not only beat this game once, but four times! I couldn't stop myself from beating it again just to get better at the game.  Also this game uses a common idea used my many other entries, but is by far the best execution of the idea I've seen in this jam.

I would love if you played our game or could even add us on discord because I would love to learn from you!

Wow! This game is damn hard! But I kind a like it ;D

The given situations are very tight, a lot happens at the same time and you have to react very fast, but actually to memorize and find a solution, kind of which steps the player has to do to beat a level. At the same time you need to get better with the control scheme. The game is like an shoot 'em up bus as a platformer. And then you have this simple mechanic with the bullet, which bounce and have to be collected.

The overall gamedesign is great and it has also a great game feel! Great job here!! Will definitely return later and play it again :)

Neat take on having only one shot. Polished and juicy! The double jump on picking up the bullet really makes it, but like the other reviewer mentioned, I missed that was a thing at first. Perhaps a simple level (without enemies as well?) where you need to use it to progress in order to teach that mechanic? The camera could use some work as well, there's too much vertical movement as I move the cursor. Overall, great entry!

Love the game, its a bit rage inducing however, didn't realize i could double jump after getting the bullet but when I did opened up a whole new move set. Great job!
