Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that you see a connection to the theme of the jam there, as I began to worry myself as I pressed through getting the game out that it may not have fit well enough. Appreciate the feedback!
Haha as Mark Brows said during the live streaming that we can consider bullets hitting faces of the opponents as some kind of linking together mechanic :D So i wouldn't worry too much about in. I believe that we should interpret the theme as much as we can without borders :-)
