Real nice stuff.
Very interesting ideas.

I do wish that there was a little more padding around the level, I kept accidentally clicking beneath the window because the ground was real slim.

thanks for playing, I wanted to include a black border around the whole game but I wasn't sure how to do it. also the game in full screen was laggy for me but I'm not sure if that's just my pc so I might try turn that on again.

Its quite good. I wish the trail disappeared after a few seconds when I cut myself off from the exit. 

Developer

thats part of the challenge! :D you can go one way only once

Submitted(+1)

The idea is really neat, but a little explaination woulb be nice. In the first level you said bounce on the wall "once", I assumed you can only burst once, I spent whole 5 minutes trying to do level 2. The mechanic is really clever, but kinda frustrated at times, it's too easy to die because the trail is everywhere.

But overall it's very good for what it is, great job :D

Developer

thanks for the feedback! yeah i definitely should have made the tutorial bit clearer 

Submitted(+1)

Original idea on the platformer puzzler genre. I'm not going to lie, I nearly smashed my monitor just trying to beat level 2. I didn't realize I could chain shots initially and wasn't sure of the exact timing when the gun was ready to fire again. Are you intending to continue development on this game? I think the idea has potential. Excellent work.

thanks for playing! I'm considering making some sort of improved version or sequel with better tutorials and improved mechanics maybe but im still not sure. I definitely should have explained the mechanics a bit clearer though, like how for example your gun resets everytime you touch a wall.

Pretty good - may help to have an indicator after bouncing off a wall when you're able to shoot again.

Nice idea, just needs a little polishing. Interesting how you used the theme.

Made a similar game a while back, but yours adds a really interesting twist to that mechanic. Nice work, had fun playing it.

It's a good idea but i somehow didn't get past the first level

Developer

thanks for trying the game out, can you tell what difficulties you had with the first level? 

Submitted(+1)

the burst wasn't high enough, and that's about it.

Submitted(+1)

An interesting concept to be sure but holy heck it's tricky. Level progression was good too. Well done~

Submitted(+1)

I love the concept of this. Great difficulty curve, it was challenging but not annoying. Great job!

Submitted(+1)

Cool idea but its really hard with how you have to wall jump and stuff, maybe the blast needs to be more satisfying or something

(+1)

This one was difficult but really satisfying to get right, I think it could have a lot of potential! Maybe the trail could just go behind you instead of following the gun so its a little less punishing while still capturing the fun of ricocheting off things and getting that perfect route.

Very difficult game, but such a cool idea. It's like tron as a platformer. Lots of fun to try, and with some playtesting could be quite a good game.

Submitted(+1)

Quite difficult if I am honest but I like the games idea

Submitted(+1)
