Nicely done! At first the jumping felt really bad to me but then I realized I needed to actually aim with the mouse and once I figured that out, I actually found the platforming a lot more fun than I would a traditional platformer. The combat is a bit wonky as well but felt very snake-like and pretty fun when I got the hang of that too. I would have loved some more sound effects for jumping or attacking but that's a pretty minor thing. Otherwise really solid game and had a blast so nicely done!

Great Job! Amazing idea and fabulous execution. You have delivered a complete, consistent, and polished experience. And well done with the level design as well. I liked how it gradually introduced the use of weapons in platforming.
The only issue I experienced is, that the jumping towards the mouse cursor (“aiming the jump”) is sometimes confusing and leads to some frustration. As this is the key mechanic, it will be very hard to tackle this one if you choose to.
platforming is really really hard but having a game with a snake with a shotgun is so much fun
Really good! I appreciate the controls being very simple, makes it easy getting into.
The best game of the JAM I have played so far!
Amazing, polished but tricky controls, and simple (but perfectly executed) visuals (I love this kind of pixel art)
I would pay to play this game :D
Amazing game! The game is truly hard, not because of any control issues (the controls are smooth and enjoyable), but because of the excellent and challenging level design! Well done!
Really solid entry. I really liked using the gun as a means of traversing the level. The art style was well-executed, but I had a hard time parsing objects at times (maybe adding an additional color?). I felt like some objects were either missing sounds or could've been louder, but great job overall. We beat the game!
Holy hell this game is visually amazing. The use of 2 colors is great and the simple pixel art is really effective. It's impressive how much can be shown using so little. One of the most polished and complete experiences I've had. The controls are satisfying and the combat is creative. Amazing name pun with the title btw! Great job with this submission!
once i got the hang, this was really smooth! the movement is cleannnn makes me wanna speedrun it
(also cool youtube like intro vid)
super fun! took a minute to figure out how to jump, but once i did I was jumping all sorts of places really cool! If you get time please rate our game :)
Ton of fun, super stylistic and the way the character bounces along is great. The movement/platforming is a little punishing (reminds me of super meat boy) for my taste but I'm awful at platformers. I really like the kill animations when you jump on someone and can hold on a second before finishing them,
Wow! Very fun, although for me the main character's design looks like some substance much more than a snake
