Interesting idea!

So I have absolutely no self-restraint, which got me wondering.

Is there some way you could tweak the core mechanics of your game to FORCE the use of only one hand at a time? 

Not quite sure precisely what that would look like (maybe you have to hold down an numpad key with one hand or something), but I think it could be interesting to explore.

Firing the gun felt nice and juicy, which was good!

( I'll +1 Adrien's advice below as well, a gentler difficulty difficulty ramp would be nice! )

To do that, here's an idea : just have five buttons (i dunno, q, w, e,r and t ?) which need to be hold during the entire game (and if you let go the game pauses or restarts) so the player has one hand that he absolutely can't move ?

Or just tell the player to not cheat x)

That's not a bad idea, might be worth testing!

If you do test it, just be careful, I think there's a hard limit on how many inputs most keyboards can register at once.

But the idea should still work even with fewer buttons depending on the relative position of the buttons!

Oh my god you're a genius! How did I not think of that! I'm gonna fix this game up after the jam and make it into a full game and 100% I'm using your idea!

Haha all good jiggly joe, during the jam you've got your hands full just making the game in such a brutally short time! We missed so much stuff that was just staring us in the face because we were just struggling to get the darn thing working!
