Nice little platformer in 1-bit style. Plays nice, the recoil when firing gives it quite a particular control quirk. Seems the map design can leave you trapped (fell down to a savepoint near some spikes, had no way out of there). SFX are ok, but having some bg music would give a more immersive feeling to the game. Good job with this entry

Solo
Was the resolution a challenge?
It was a challenge when it came to figuring out how to use the space efficiently, and UI was also a challenge. It was a really fun limitation though and inspired me to be more creative.
What did you learn?
This is my first time doing a Game Jam Solo, so having to go through the entire process of coding, art, and sounds on my own, I feel helped me grow a lot as a developer and gave me more experience. My game is far from perfect, but it is the first project I have seen through from beginning to end in a long while.
