The concept is very cool and unique, but I found since the bullet ricocheted indefinitely I just restart whenever I missed. Some of the levels I just restarted a bunch until I aced it. Concept and effects are super neat though. I think the idea could definitely be iterated upon to make a really solid post-jam game. Good job!

Funny characters :)

I'm not crazy about the art style here - the unshaded character clashes a bit with the shaded walls, and the HD text clashes with all of it. The somersaulting character was quite charming but a bit offputting in terms of knowing where the character's collision box was for platforming purposes. I also think that having the richocheting bullets no longer affect enemies was unintuitive and a quite annoying, since it means that it's just a matter of time after you miss any shots before you just die, and you also can't set up cool trickshots by bouncing bullets off walls. That said, I did have fun lining shots up and figuring out the order of operations, then trying to predict the paths of enemies. I also think the idea that if you hit an already-dead enemy then it regenerates is a very good idea with a lot of potential. I still think it would have been better overall if the richocheting bullets could hit enemies too though. Well done on getting a game submitted, and good luck with your future projects!

Good premise for a game, I almost gave it a perfect score. I like the idea of red bullets bringing bad guys to life, but it only encouraged me to be more accurate with my shots so I just made as few as possible and pressed whenever I made one.

Ireally like the art, the idea is interesting I just had problem with that, that every time that i missed the enemy i just felt urge to push "R" to restart, so i think that it took the part of the evasion game fun. Still liked it :) 

Nostalgic art, quite challenging and very enjoying.

Pretty nice game, I really like the cover art, and the gameplay is quite original and very "out of control." My main negative is that the music starts over every time you restart the scene, this could've been solved by using a music player object that has don'tdestroyonload on it. But overall a very nice game
