Great concept, but there are too many places where you can get stuck.

Since the game only has one bullet, you could have gone for a better control scheme, making the game a lot better in my opinion.

I agree, loved the idea, but the theme requirement was met by the one arm concept, a couple more buttons for turning around and aiming would have been appreciated. I enjoyed it while it lasted though. and gave it high marks in everything but design.

I appreciate you all playing it and commenting. We really wanted to make one button work, for the challenge of it, and I don't think we'll be patching in other buttons. That said, if we build a more fleshed out game on this concept I think we'll be using more buttons and/or cursor control for aiming. Legit.

Yeah I'm certain the game would be better with a different control scheme but it's a game jam and I don't see much harm in trying for a challenging interpretation of the theme.

Thanks for the feedback. While multiple buttons could've been easier I do think we could've made one button controls work with the game as is but ultimately we just ran out of time to properly implement it. The inability to move left or backwards is definitely a glaring issue that we'll likely fix if we do make any updates to it.
