How does your game fit the theme?
The main mechanic involves reversing the bullet of the gun you shoot. This means that the bullet is used to solve puzzles by reversing it back towards the player, rather than just away from the player. This reverses the common role of bullets in shooters.

This mechanic is simple yet really really fun! I love that you have to shoot the bullet and then re-direct it after doing some platforming it’s really clever and makes the overall experience much more engaging, solid game :]

This was great. There was a good progression to the puzzles, and they stayed focused on the idea of recalling the bullet. I had fun

Great job, this has been my favorite entry so far! I love how intuitive the game mechanics are, and your overall creative take on the game jam theme. The music and general sound design is also fantastic (main menu music especially slaps lol). Feels like a lot of effort was put into the game :)

This is a very interesting concept! I loved the way you were able to teach all the mechanics without making it super tutorialized!

Thanks so much! And thank you for playing!

Wish you luck to release this as full game :)

That was pretty fun. The recall bullet mechanic was great. Although the levels were simple, they explored the bullet recall pretty well, I think there's more to explore with the concept.

Developer

Thanks so much! I agree with your feedback, I might spin it out into a longer game at some point!

This was pretty cool! Pretty neat mechanic and nice presentation. The levels were a bit easy; I think adding some constraints like a maximum number or shots or max amount of times you can recall the bullet might lend to more interesting puzzle setups. Pretty cool for what it is though.

Thanks so much! Also, yeah that's good feedback, I miscalculated my time so I only had a few hours to actually design the levels and didn't get to make the puzzles as interesting as challenging as I would have liked haha. It was a good learning experience though and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
