Wow! I really enjoyed playing your game. It felt really satisfying dodging my bullets and then bouncing them back on the ghosts. Great job!

Developer

Thank you, we're glad you enjoy our game!

Fun game! It was super satisfying to ricochet the bullets on the walls and the shield. I feel like the ghosts should not have been able to keep up with the player as well as they do, but I'm not sure if making them slower would have made it too easy. Anyway, solid game and good job!

Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed the game :D and yeah, if time allowed, we would have explored more diverse ideas for enemy AI. Perhaps for post-jam content, who knows? :)

incredibly fun gameplay ! The graphics were really well polished and the juice was there. It felt really empowering to play despite how ‘out of control’ the game was, and some audio would have put it over the top. I hope more people can play this!

A interesting idea! I didn't really know what colour was which, so clarifying that would be helpful. Some backing music or ambience SFX would have really added to this one aswell.

Developer

Thank you, and yes i suppose some clarification would've been nice considering the fast-paced nature of the game. If still curious, blue bullets are in your favour and purple bullets are rogue :)

This is so good, I love the idea of how the bullets persist if they don't hit a ghost, meaning you need to aim carefully or else things will heat up very fast! My only real complaint is the lack of music, this game could absolutely use some sick beats!

Developer

Thank you so much :D. And yeah i agree, audio would have been incredibly beneficial, but sadly it was time problem :( There's always room for future updates however :)

Very cool game, with some awesome graphics! Really enjoyed it, I hope more people end up playing ^^

Developer

Thank you very much!  Yeah the graphics were particularly fun to create :D

Hey I just played your game and it extremely fun with the smooth gameplay (slow motion was my favourite!) and it was impressively polished for a 48 hour game jam. A backing track would’ve made it, but the stunning graphics easily compensate for that. Being able to successfully ricochet the rogue bullets was very satisfying too, wonderful submission!

Developer

Thank for your kind comment :D And agreed, nothing compares to the feeling of a nice ricochet shot!

The looks are pretty cool. I think I should have read the description before playing though took me a while to understand how to kill monster... ^^'

Developer

Thank you :) and yeah, the first shot mechanic would be hard to pick up without being told explicitly :D

Incredibly smooth and fun gameplay,  with the ricochet/bullet bouncing mechanics and the slow motion, which can make us players feel very empowered. It fits the theme on several levels, and making the player's bullets harmful to them was an interesting touch, further supporting the game being out of the player's control.  And the graphics mon ami, the graphics. They make me want to italian chef kiss the air. From the colours to the post-processing, the game is a joy to both look at and play. 

Some feedback would be to implement some more audio, but other than that, i thoroughly enjoyed it! :)

The gameplay is fun and the graphics are awesome! The concept was also really cool. The graphics remind me of Luigi's mansion :)
