Nice concept.
Maybe the bullet can be through your opponents instead of bouncing back to them. Or when you touch someone, you have to call back your bullet to recharge it and shoot again.
Good job! :)

I guess it isn't explained anywhere, but the shot actually takes longer to recharge if you don't call it back to you. I did think about requiring the user to call the shot back in order to shoot again, but then you could let the shot bounce forever and keep killing things, and that's no fun ;)
Thanks for checking our little game out!
Good job. I think you executed the idea well, but I think it would be better if the bullet didn't automatically come back to you and you had to pull it back. I love the enemies that bounce the bullet back at you, that was really interesting. I think changing the controls to be relative to the direction the spaceship is pointing would help the game a ton. Nicely done!

Ghosts & GunsI think having the controls work relative to the way the ship is facing would definitely create some extra challenge!
I decided on the bullet recharging even if it gets destroyed because if I let it bounce forever you could fire once and just avoid enemy bullets forever, which seems a little less engaging.
Thank you for checking our game out!
Very hard to describe it and i dont think this feedback will help you much - sadly. I usually can pinpoint things but it felt, for me personally, not so... Arcady. Iam sorry that i cant be a bigger help for this, i seriously would have to brood over this to give you more constructive feedback. Hit me up after the jam's fully done and i will go in this again.
Stay crunchy.
