Nice conceptm the kickback feels really great, the controls are quite good, definetly speedrunnable IMO. Well done!


Btw I got a bug where I didn't die falling between pikes in the third or fourth level.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!  Thanks for the bug report, I'll see what I can do :)

Edit:  It seems the players hurtbox was just slim enough to occasionally squeeze between the spikes hitbox,  Should be fixed now.  Thanks for the feedback!

I like the retro vibe, but I still wish it was a bit more visible.

That's a really fun little game. I really like the graphics and the effect you put in there. Though it's quite hard for the first-time player. Took me a while to figure out using jump and shotgun to pass the first obstacle in the first level (or maybe 'cause I'm pretty bad at game 🤣), but I think the game is absolutely more fun if it has a little more in adjusting the difficulty of the level.

Anyway, wish you the best for the jam.

This game is great! The use of the shotgun is excellent and the control of the game feels great. My one complaint is that it seemed like when I died while holding a move key, I continued to move that direction after respawning. I love love love the video filter over the game!

Thank you!  Were you playing in windowed or fullscreen?  I've experienced the same issue, and I think it's caused by the cursor being outside the game window when the level resets, so the game loses focus and keeps repeating the last input, which unfortunately means I can't do anything about it because it's caused by engine.  If you play in fullscreen it should fix the issue.  If it still occurs in fullscreen, then my guess is wrong and I need to scan through the code.  Thank you for the feedback!

Yup, I was playing windowed! My buddy and I ran into a few issues when we tried to upload our game as an HTML5 game as well, so we ended up going back to a plain exe to get our submission in, hehe.
