I really like the music, I think with a bit more work it could really sound like a Mario soundtrack. My only bother is I would have reset the power bar each time the player clicks, it's hard to get used to because it starts somewhere new each time. I see that's a bug, good stuff.

Really great stuff. I definitely had to get used to the fact that it doesn't just propel the player in the opposite direction you are aiming.
This is impressive, feels like a full, complete game. Great art style and music. I am not really good at platformers like these, so didn't get far, but i enjoyed it.
OMG The game is super cute, while it's really hard, I really like it. The game is really well-polished, and the music is so on point. That's fit together really well! Overall, 5 out of 5!
very fun and hard, i love how when you shoot the shotgun you can see a bullet come, and when you hit something there is an explosion

I like the art style, the difficulty goes up progressively which is great.
Until level 5 I was like, okay this isn't hard, boy was I wrong xD Really cool art and fun gameplay. I wudda liked it better if we could shoot at walls while in air, maybe just once, to get extra control.
The game looks really good and has interesting gameplay.
Personally, I find it too tricky to perform the moves I want.
I think I would enjoy it more if:
- You could shoot in the air (maybe limited amount of times)
- The power of the shot were more predicltable:
- Either always started from zero
- Or were always visible
I just wanted to add, that this is my favorite game in this jam! Hope you'll place first.
Loved the game, I suck at it but I still love it. I had to learn how to control the blast from the shotgun but after that I became so focused that I played for 30 minutes straight.
Great game. The level/puzzle design is good and the graphics look great.
Even though it was challenging, I had a lot of fun.
Good job and good luck.
The difficulty really spiked for me at level 3 when the spikes where introduced. I also struggeled with some other levels, but that might also just be me. I like it, and the art is cute.
