This game is too challenging for me but it is not unfair at all. It is definitely fun to play. Maybe the player do not have to die in one hit. 

Really cool game, good job! The graphics were amazing for a 48 hour jam, and the movement and mechanics all felt nicely polished. I would recommend perhaps making a better distinction between the civilians and the guards. Also, I think it might be more interesting if you could make each mode (shooting and moving) completely separate, so when you're moving you can't shoot and when you're shooting you can't move at all? I don't know how the gameplay would differ but right now it doesn't seem very necessary to use the two different modes apart from switching the direction of your weapon, so perhaps that would make it a bit more unique/interesting. 

Having said that, it was a great and original idea, well done!

Cool game, nice concept and really fun all around. Especially liked the polish that went into it, the sound design feels just right, movement is satisfactory, shooting is meaty. I just kinda got puzzled on why you can shoot on both modes, makes the actual "shooting" mode kinda useless? (at least on my strategy) Congrats on your project!

This is a super fun, good looking, and thought out game! The sound effects and music were perfect for the design as well! I love your use of the theme, and the gimmick was original. I had some difficulty telling the civilians apart from the guards, maybe make their colors more dramatic. The game's difficulty was spot on and I feel like this concept could be carried over to a player versus player game as well. Excellent game!

This is a really nice idea. I had some trouble figuring out how the controls work and why I'm not able to aim sometimes, but as soon as I figured it out I had fun playing your game.

It is pretty challenging, though. And I found that after repeated deaths (either mine or civilians) I started to use the move mode only to change my angle for the shoot mode and play the game way more carefully. And I think that's not great since this game is more fun in the move mode. So you might try to incentivise that more.

Regarding the presentation, sound is good, nothing bad to say here and I'd say the graphics are even better than just good. They are stylish and well made. I always like it when the edges of a level transfer into the background color.

All in all, fun game, nice idea, looks and sounds good. Perhaps a bit too high difficulty.

I used to think I was good at playing video games but this game challenged me quite a lot. I really like it! I appreciate that the main mechanic is "simple to learn, difficult to master." I really like games like that! The only room for improvement I can think of is a smaller hitbox for the player character, or something that makes it more difficult to get hit (slower enemy bullets? any number of things potentially). I felt that a few bullets hit me way before they got near me, though that could just be me needing to get better at playing games, lol. Overall this was a really fun experience.

Cool concept and challenging !

Really well done !

Cool game! Having to plan when to switch states and where to direct your gun was a fun challenge.

Great Game I had so much fun while playing it.

Fun little experience!

It was a bit frustrating, but its relevant the jam's theme. Great concept!

Really love the puzzle element in play here. The basic game loop to aim yourself and shoot was really fun. The visual style is simplistic but the characters are rather well animated and it's a cool style overall. Blocking bullets by shooting at them is cool as well. Loved it overall :)

i really like the artstyle! gj on that!

Excellent visuals and audio ! The game feels really good !

The bullet casings flying away are nice but i think they are too visible, i would oftenly mistake a bullet for a casing and vice-versa which made doging difficult in some cases. I found destroying bullets really hard and overall could not get good enough at planning the perfect route despite the markings while shootint at every incoming bullet and guard but still avoid civilians to simply fly through most combat. The civilians were a bit hard to distinguish from guards sometimes, fortunately enough you didn't placed lots of them. Ah also, why is the gold green ? xD

To me the game was really more of a "spot the enemy, go back to a safe zone to fly while preparing the correct aim, stop flying and move back to where i can shoot the guard, if possible off-screen" than an action shooter. I still enjoyed it quite a lot but i'm pretty sure i did not get the experience wanted. I tried to replay the game after finishing it, i was better and could in some occasion fly, bounce and shoot like in the gifs, but i would only really do that at the beginning of the levels. The reason being that defense is way to hard for me to pull off while flying through a danger zone, so it made playing like super risky and most of the time i would die.

Also, since you shoot faster than the guards, and considering the precision needed to destroy bullets, it is actually way easier to aim while hiding then align yourself with a guard and stop moving, wait until your bullets reach the guard and repeat. Trying to move a bit to avoid bullets will most likely make you miss a bullet and get shot, which is also true when flying around, as soon as you're getting shot at by multiple guards at the same time - or also in tight spaces - you're very likely to randomly fly into a bullet.

I had some issues with collisions, corridors of only 1 tile wide made movement and combat hard, using the jetpack inside would almost always result in a weird collision sending you in an undesired direction, making the player's collision box smaller could help but i think not making tight areas would be better, they don't let the player use the cool and satisfying fly and shoot mechanic and actually encourage waiting for the bullets to reach the guards while not moving. The gold bars were sometimes super hard to pick up, or instead get picked from far away. Also sometimes the doors would close before i reached them, they add a nice mechanic but when you get locked up near the end and have to restart it gets very frustrating :x

I still did finished twice the game with all bonus bar though, but if i hadn't played the game safely and pre-aimed most kills i would have never got them all.

Ah one more note : the ability to shoot off-screen guards is really powerful, they don't shoot at you and you can kill them safely, but in some cases this is needed and it shouldn't be, like in the last level on the left side's vertical corridor, not killing the guards prior to seeing them makes it super hard to react in time if you're flying toward them.

Finally : i think your game would benefit hugely from showing a map of the level, not only it fits the heist theme really well, but it would make planning your route so much easier and enjoyable

[Wall of text over] I had a great time playing despite having *some* thins to say, great job !

Very cool puzzle shooter. Really love the visuals, and the level designs are excellent!

I didn't realise you could shoot while jet packing initially, which made it feel a lot more like a puzzle game then a shooter. But once I realised you could shoot while jet packing, it made everything substantially easier to play.

In County Post, I did encounter a glitch in the narrow hallway that pushed put me outside of the level when I jet packed.

Overall, nice work! Would love to play more levels! : )

The bullets-blocking-other-bullets mechanic is so cool! Would be perfect with a speed-based rating system: you either instakill from the side or wait for another bullet.

A very fun experience with some cool mechanics. I found it really hard to get used to, but after a few tries it got easier. The aestetics also work really well with the whole picture.

Very nicely done!

Neat aesthetic with pretty great sound design and visuals. Gameplay was definitely a challenge to get used to, but I liked it! I am apparently a master of the art of accidentally shooting a civilian I can't even see because they're off-screen. Good job!

Fits the theme well and is fun and juicy.  Congrats!
