Challenging and fun! Love the gun idea

Submitted

I feel like it's so hard to design open-ended puzzles like this - great work!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Quite a few people have commented on the level design and it’s a bit of a shock as the nature of the design was such that it was impossible to test the levels for “fun” as potential solutions were already known to us and as we had nobody to else to play test we just didn’t really know. With the design we knew what playing pieces we had and we knew that we wanted to avoid one obvious solution so that if a player was struggling to go one way they might be tempted to try another way. I’m really pleased how they have come out and that people seem to like them, especially as all the levels were designed in around 2 hours.

perfect

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Very cool design, puzzle solving felt very free, only think I want is more levels. Awesome game!

Developer

Thanks for playing! We are thinking about developing this further.

Submitted

Awesome game, I don't know what can I say about it it's too cool, great level design and also I can't believe that you  made this game in 48 hours!, great job.

Developer

Thank you for playing and thank you for your kind words! We really had no idea how the levels were going to turn out as it’s so hard to test a puzzle you know the answers to especially when you don’t have anyone else to play test!

Submitted

wow super cool, really good job

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Can't believe you did so much content in 2 days! I'm not sure how much of a genre mixup I'd consider it, but the gameplay more than makes up for that. Clever and fun, you can't ask for much more.

Thanks for playing! Two of us worked with about 10 hours sleep each, I was really tired yesterday! One thing that did help was I made a level generator to create the levels from small images of coloured pixels which made the process of designing levels really quick.

Submitted

Oh  wow, that sounds like an interesting technique to use. I'll have to try it out in a future project.

Submitted

Amazing game here! Not a new concept but done very well, I love the art, sounds and levels! Pretty decent job, surely deserve a high ratings!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your kind comments!

Very good job here! Played through the whole game sadly there wasn't an end screen :( Level design was nice, sounds were cool and the pixel art is minimalistic but it fits the game SO nicely (good color scheme). The only thing I can complain about is that player is sliding on ground a bit, which made it really annoying to lose due to a slide.

Well done! Also check out my game! Every feedback is very appreciated!

I agree, the only thing I would change is to weapon switch mode using Mouse Wheel, and of course, the end screen. xD

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and your comment! Sorry about the end screen just ran out of time! I wanted to give the player a bit of momentum but I can understand how slipping off the ledge would be frustrating! more tuning needed.

Submitted

Really cool game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Really cool game, it's more of a puzzle shooter platformer, which is good, i would reccomend to add ability to controll jump height, it sometimes can feel really annoying when you can't cross the gap beacause you jump to high

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! The jump control is definitely in there it works on key press duration and there is a minimum jump height for just a quick stab of the jump key. Perhaps I could look to reduce the minimum jump height so I’ll take a look. Thanks again for playing.

Submitted

oh yeah there is jump control, minimal jump height is good, though for some reasone it's hard to do minimum jump on W, it's easy to do on spacebar

Developer(+1)

It’s essential the same code but I’ll take a look to make sure I didn’t do a typo or something? 

Submitted

maybe some weird unity input shenanigans

Submitted

very good! It has a lot of potential for puzzles

Developer

Thanks for playing! Wish I’d have had a bit more time to add in a few more of my ideas.

Submitted

Very cool, feels really good to play!

Submitted

So cool, love the concept, graphics and sound are really good too. Great job!

Lots of fun, great that it's achievable but still challenging! Good visual and sound effects too :)

Developer

Thank you for playing ! Glad you liked it.

Really like it the game is intuitive. It is also cool that the puzzles have multiple solutions! Great game

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I’m pleased you noticed that there were multiple solutions as I really wanted that to come across

Submitted(+1)

A very great submission! One of the best games I've played so far, and it got me really hooked. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your kind words.

Really Great Idea :) I can see this becoming much more

Developer

thanks for playing! I am thinking about developing it a little more as I was quite pleased how it came out and I had a lot of ideas for it that I had to cut out.

Submitted(+1)

i thing that is a finished game

Developer

thanks for playing! Sadly it’s not really finished that was the minimum I could get away with in the time allowed.

Submitted(+1)

This is a fun game! I could see this becoming a full game. The art is also really good.

Developer

Thanks for giving it a go!
