  • Breachshot Carbon was a fun experience, and I really enjoyed how cohesive the whole experience felt. I wasn't able to get far enough into the game for sideways aiming to matter, but I was intrigued by that secondary field of play. The art, sound, music, and menu noises felt like they all worked together well and gave the sense of an industrial, mechanized world setting. I found myself wondering if i felt like I was the gun or not. Although the game technically found the theme, I would argue that increased storyline about the gun's operator / spirit would go a long way. Thank you very much for this submission to Pirate Software Game Jam 16.

Enjoyed the colour-shifting mechanic in this. It's smart to put the GDD on the main game page, too.
