I really liked the arts and the audio part, both sfx and music, but I found it a bit lacking in salt

Pretty neat - the very easy parts at the start made me think this game won't be very challenging, but boy was I proven wrong later on hehe. Bullet quantity is decent and I really like how the theme has been used here - letting you break the boundaries at risk of getting deleted immediately if you can't make it back.

Although, the ~12 minute timer is a bit too much considering how easy the first few minutes are and how brutal the rest of the game is, and I didn't feel comfortable enough to replay the game more than a couple times. I feel that it could benefit from being divided into levels or sections (lemme skip those easy parts!!). As far as the scope of the jam goes though - Barry's Night Shift shows some potential!

Thanks! I agree that the timer is a bit much, but didn't have much time left to dial it back, I was actually thinking of updating the game with an expert mode after the  jam which starts with all the challenge right out of the gate.
