How does your game fit the theme?
We interpreted 'Out of Control' by removing a basic means of controlling the main character in an FPS from the player. The gameplay revolves around using your weapon to eliminate enemies and also to propel yourself around using the backblast.

This deserves more attention. Nicely done. Love the scream the robots give when you shoot them haha.
Protip: don't turn on infinite scroll on your mouse while playing this. :D
In all honesty, I thought this was going to be just another shoot-to-move, but I love how you need to switch between rifles to achieve the desired effect. The blunderbuss is ridiculously fun.
Check out our game if you have the time. :)
Hey, thanks for playing!
We wanted our movement to feel unique, it took a lot of experimenting with different blast force. Originally we were only going to have the Blunderbuss implemented, but realised fairly quickly that we needed some different options for finer movements and larger enemy spawns.
Glad you enjoyed the game!
That was pretty fun! Thanks for the "Quick-switch" button, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to play this on my 7 year old laptop, because it ran kinda bad and I don't have a mouse :D
Super fun! Agree with ghostentity12 about the control scheme though.
This was a lot of fun! I did have some trouble with the gun switch at the beginning, clicking M3 for gun 2 was a bit odd, though once I figured out 1/2/3 were also mapped to the weapons, it got a little easier.
It seems like it'd be a great game to speedrun, if only I were better at shooters :)
We had originally intended to add prompts for 1, 2, and 3 to the UI for weapon swapping, just one of those things that fell through the cracks during the jam unfortunately. Glad you enjoyed it though, thanks for playing!
I loved this game, the final level was kinda hard, but I enjoyed the difficulty. (Also, I hate those last 3 enemies at the top of the last level) Overall, real fun game, I’ll rate it once I finish my queue
This has "Action Movie" all over it and I love it!
The gameplay was smooth, granted my look speed was slow but that is no fault of the game.
The music was popn' works so well with this game!
I found this game a lot of fun, the mechanics were great.
