How does your game fit the theme?
Shooting a bullet is a mechanic which is quite linear in games, so instead we decided to alter the players expectation and do something new.

Pretty original idea. Loved the gameplay and the art tool. Well done!
Nice game mate. Maybe be add a few introductory levels to make people get used to the mechanics, as it is confusing in the beginning.
But over all I like the concept and the game is well executed too.
Really great 1bit pixel art! The idea of the behavior of the gun keep changing fits well with the theme of the jam. Had fun playing it. :)
Nice mechanics. For me the text was sometimes too fast, but I really like the idea of a level goal that is not just kill everyone, but with every level changes. And beautiful artstyle of course. Nice Job!
A neat art style and nice sound design! The gameplay confused me at first (primarily figuring out what the text on firing a bullet actually indicated), but I got the hang of it after a little while of playing. The sprites all had a nice stylistic look to them, and the sound effects were nice and punchy. Nice work!
Really fun game. I love the art style and the sound design. It all fits so well together. I didn't really feel the need for a tutorial. In the beginning a lot of stuff happens indeed, but I quickly got the hang of it. The theme of the jam might have been implemented a bit more, but overall I had fun playing!
Fun game, but it does drop you in at the deep end without much explanation. A bit more of a tutorial would have been helpful.
Awesome graphics, so cute! I think the random effects on-hit are a nice touch, but didn't make me feel "out of control" since I could still aim & shoot pretty reliably. Maybe some effects could be added to on-shoot as well, to push the idea further?
Great game ! There are some little flaws here and there (ennemies spawning in front of you without a warning in the final boss, gun being dragged behind is unpractical at times…) but it’s a solid whole, and I had fun playing it. Good job !
