How have you integrated the theme in your game?
I implemented the theme "RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN" by breaking traditional platformer movement rules. Instead of relying only on jumping and walking, the player moves using recoil from shooting and can toggle gravity on and off. This changes the expected rules of how movement works and allows the player to move in ways that would normally not be possible.

Extremely engaging game! If you add more levels, we’ll definitely play them! The main character had a polished sprite and smooth movement. The zero-gravity gunplay was deeply fun and the sound effects were nice. A great time :)

More levels could be added. They have some really cool puzzles.
