Really cool idea loved the game-play challenging and rewarding at the same time.

I'm sure the game is fun, but I couldn't even hit the first button. I tried about 30 times and not once could I get the gun to point towards the button to hit it. Maybe I just didn't understand it, but the gun would always face in the wrong direction and there didn't seem to be a way to control which way it faced. Was just extremely frustrating to not even be able get through the tutorial section of the game...

hey, sorry you had these troubles. After throwing the gun it rotates by itself. You can move the character still and get out of the way of the gun and let it rotate so you can hit the button. If you hold down the RMB time will slow down and you will get a laser sight. Hope this helps if you get the chance to try again :).

One of the best in the jam in my opinion.

This game got me 5 stars for creativity. This was most excellent to play around with when throwing the weapon and calling it back. Though, the gameplay could of been improved. I feel you could of allowed the weapon to point towards the mouse so players can get a better aim on the gun. Also, the colliders on the walls are a bit buggy as players can easily slip and slide through them. (Unless you wanted players to do that I think) Hehe. Overall, the game was teriffic!

I love the boomerang mechanic! It is a little hard to get the shots to fire where you want them to.

it for sure takes a little bit of practice. but once you get the hang of it its quite rewarding

I like the art style, the audio is great! Its really creative, however its quite difficult and not very intuitive, I also feel like the theme was an after thought rather than the reason the game exists, like you had a game you wanted to make then added some art to make it look like the theme, the gameplay is quite addicting though although I feel like the consequences are a bit harsh, I also am a bit annoyed that my last run ended by being spotted through a wall.

thank you. i appriciate it. unfortunatley we didnt have time to flesh everything out properly and may have made it too difficult.
