Great Game ! I was a bit confused with the controls at first but really enjoyed it later ! I figured out a trick to move easily (I keep reloading and shooting opposite to the place i wanna go)

Nice visuals and learning curve. The controls are a bit challenging but satisfying. Would be cool to see new bullet types being added so new different movement options could be explored in the future.

Really difficult to get around, but I suppose that's the whole point!

Developer

Pretty cool concept, just cheesed the whole game by spamming shoot and reload lol.

Developer

Thank you! Yeah the reload spam is basicly the strat hahaha it was very unintended, but now its kinda of a feature hahaha

navigation with the gun is surprisingly tricky, but it's a cool concept to start with. and it looks great, too!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! The gun movement was actually something that we went back and forth with alot, we wanted to make it feel good but also relativelly hard to work with/master, maybe one day we refine this concept!

Great reversal and great art! I eventually found the optimal strategy was to ditch strategy and spam R and m1 haha

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Yeah we have heard that the optimal strategy is a bit cheesy hahaha, shame we didnt catch it during development, but its ok as long as its fun haha
