I enjoyed it more than I would have thought but I'd love a mechanic that helps the gun get unstuck somehow

Very well put together. Great concept with plenty of potential to be fleshed out into something bigger. Good work!

Wow, what did I just play? Really enjoyed all of it. Fitting music, great visuals and hilarious gameplay. Well done!

Fun concept and pretty polished, but it's also near unplayable XD.

Would you say that it's... out of control?

Sadly a bit easy to get stuck on, but still easily one of the best games this year!

I think this is my favourite GMTK Jam game so far! It's neat just to play around, but the story really takes it to another level.

My one tiny bit of criticism would be that I feel as though the soundtrack is a little too intense for this gun's everyday grind. I feel as though it would be funnier if you just had elevator music going on in the background.

Thanks! I agree about the music. I originally picked it primarily for the intro, but it also fit the game when it was just about blasting your way through the level... And then I came up with the tiny story that kind of slowed things down, but I didn't have time to pick another track and handle fading and such.

Nice idea that is very well done. The graphics is nice. The music fits nicely the game. The gameplay is fun but sometimes a bit frustrating. Some restart button would be nice when you get stuck.

Hilarious! Well done! It could be slightly easier to control. I get that it's supposed to be wonky and a challenge. It was just a tad frustrating. But cracked me up nonetheless.

The music and visual style is overall really good. The The gameplay idea is simple and pretty fun. The controls fits the theme very well. Overall a well made jam game.

Really fun and original. Could have used a restart level button, cause I got stuck near the end.

Developer

Thanks!

I tried my best to make the magic-anti-gravity-recoil flexible enough to be able to unstuck yourself in most cases, but unfortunately it can still happen because physics and all.

Really wanted to add a [Nudge]-button for cases like that, but ran out time. Gamejams.

I rated other games 5 stars on originality before this one.
That was a mistake.

Developer

Thanks! High praise.
