Best I've played so far, smart and simple use of the theme, combined with metrovania level designs. So Good.
Tysm!! Appreciate the kind words and very glad you liked it :D
Woow, awesome pixel art style and color palette! Really creative take on the theme!We had a blast playing it! Awesome job!
Thank you very much!! We made the color palette up as we went :D

Needs bigger gun
*takes notes*
One of the best games of the jam in terms of holistic design. The art by Noam Goldfarb and Yotam Braun is great. Noam Pearlman's design for the puzzles is very creative. The sfx by Sol Schori are probably the best I've heard in the jam so far. Really great implementation on the pitched shooting sounds, wish it were maintained throughout but building into that bass for the semi-final gun was great. And nothing broke so hats off to Rotem Feldman for the programming.
I only have nitpicky criticisms. The biggest issue I think is just no enemies. I get that it's puzzle based but....if you're gonna make fun guns like this, you gotta shoot them at something more exciting than boxes and dirt. Sol Schori's score is very impressive playing all the music (you recorded drums?? You've got a crazy setup lol), but I don't know if the score gave me any indication of skeleton in a dungeon shooting a big gun. That is until the very end with that rad guitar to close things out. Excellent animation on that to create a very satisfying ending.
Mazal tov to the team, I'm probably stealing some of your names for my next DnD character as a member of the Matzah Ballers.
I can't speak on behalf of everyone, but feel free to steal my name at least haha.
Thank you, we greatly appreciate all the kind words and the feedback.
Really fantastic visuals! loved the ending and a cool concept fairly well executed!
Thank you!! Super happy you played it all the way through and liked it. :) Appreciate the kind words!
I quite enjoyed this little game! The style was a delight to see the whole game through, the sound design was well executed, and whomever designed the puzzles should be very proud of themselves! Everything felt like it had a purpose and every roadblock felt clever. The main mechanic of gun size effecting your sprite's size and weight was also very well clever! Thank you for making this game, devs! I hope you are featured in the GMTK top spots!
Thank you so much!!! Glad you enjoyed it.
We really appreciate the kind words!!!
cool
little hard to understand where u supposed to go
have to give you props just for the name
The game has extremely good graphics and it is a nice feeling when you get bigger guns. I like how the gun is used when platforming. My wish is that it would be a little more clear on where you are supposed to go. Anyhow, the music is great and the sound effects are satisfying. Love the ending, it caught me by surprise. Excellent job!
Thank you!! Glad to hear you liked it and thanks for the feedback! :)
thank you so much for the kind words! we are hoping to make a patch after the jam to fix some of those little issues. btw i loved your game!
I LOVEEE THIS LOLLLL, such a good idea. A twist on a metroidvania where you gain an ability to get past obstacles, but after gaining that ability, you lose access to other pathways.. so clever I love this!
Tysm!! ahaha really happy you enjoyed it! :D
Super polished and an interesting take on the theme. I think finding the first gun took a bit too long but from there on I had a lot of fun and finished the game. Amazing job!! 🤩🤩
Thank you very much!! Really glad you liked it and in retrospect we completely agree about the way to the first gun being too long! <3
very well made, the gun animation is great, it's really cool to seen a map as big as this that almost works like a metroidvania
Amazing little game! I was pleased by musical gun at start, so i just stayed and played melody for a while. The idea about gun becoming so ridiculously big and making all gameplay around it is great and very fun.
Music is too quiet in comparison to sfx.
Also i would appreciate if you come to check our little game too :3
Realy cool game, but I found multiple softlocks.
Thank you!
Oh wow, so far we haven't found any. Would appreciate more details!
after I got the blaster that could go through crates, but I'm not sure where after
oh sorry to hear you couldn't finish it :( i think a couple people got stuck there, there's actually a puzzle there and not a softlock but i understand it might not look obvious you can continue. anyways i hope you might give it another chance sometime!
In general its a great game! thanks for the notification!
Music bands in USA (loved the style and concept)
Hehe thanks! :D
Beautiful pixel art, interesting level design. What's not to like?
I also like the "scale" of the Scaleton. He is so condensed and so cute. haha
Awesome job!
the art is awesome in this
Ty :)
