well that was pretty hard to even get onto the 2nd platform the controls are difficult to get the gun to start off going up but once in the air its not to bad. Seem to not able to flip my self on the platform like I can on the ground. But other then the difficulty pretty solid game.

It is really difficult to control the shotgun. I couldn't get past the first platform. The second platform stops exactly at the top height of the first one and I could only move horizontally once I got above the first platform.
The title screen is pretty and the visuals are actually pretty nice. The shotgun fire was a bit too simple but I felt it looked alright.
The story was sort of insane but I liked it!
The comical style of the game would benefit lots from a soundtrack and sound effects!
I liked that there was a reset option in case you got stuck, but I got stuck way too often, it wasn't very fun. The physics need some rework or perhaps adding more shots / reloading shots more often.

Shotgun of Soulsyeah, honestly I learned a lot from this jam about how to do level design (badly).
when testing the level I pretty early learned that the platforms are less than useless in actually progressing so I started doing a long jump with all 3 shots from the left corner all the way up.
Now I realize this should have been a red flag because it means the platforms are just going to mislead the player. But at the time it just felt like the player can also do the skip so it's fine.
As for the shotgun fire, there are so many good examples to learn from the other games. going moving projectile with a trail of smaller and smaller circles is 100% a more aesthetic way to go.
Thanks a lot for the comment, hopefully, our next submission will have different mistakes to learn from :P
It is very difficult, it would be good to start with basic levels like moving to the right and then increasing the difficulty, but the art is very good

Ghost RevengeFrustratingly difficult, the moving platforms made it almost impossible to progress. The sound was also pretty quiet.

Shotgun ExorcismI like the Design of the game and colors, although It was pretty damn difficult.

Phantom LimbReminds of challenging control mechanic games like QWOP. It was frustrating, but I was happy to beat it at the end.

Ghost CatchersVery good concept and interpretation of the shotgun limitation. Very hard.

Shotty JumpThat's insanely challenging and difficult, but the game is very well done!

Ghost HunterChallenging game! Would be nice if the shotgun is more bouncy and we could shoot while jumping.

GHOSTROADSThe mechanic is a lovely take to the shotgun theme. I'm too bad to get past three platforms tho lol
Submitted
Shotgun RiderToo smooth brained to get very fair, but the aesthetic is great. Shottie sound could use some work.
