My playthrough thoughts:
- The graphics, sound, and overall polish are at a publishable level and far exceed other games in the jam.
- Controls didn't need to be explained and just worked the way I intuited.
- The character feels clumsy and imprecise to control, with inconsistent jump heights, and can sometimes get caught on corners or even briefly "unravel".
- At the start, it wasn't obvious that I was supposed to be unable to use the gun yet.
- I like that the gun is used for movement.
- The gun's large spread makes shooting also feel clumsy and imprecise.
- Sometimes the gun doesn't shoot at where I'm aiming, especially when I'm aiming upwards (not talking about the spread, but the average).
- I couldn't beat the first boss that I encountered (the spider boss). I now see in a comment below that I was warned about it, but during the playthrough, I had interpreted that warning as a kinda "It'll be a difficult challenge, but you can do it, good luck!"
- Overall, I had some fun! If the movement and shooting were much more precise, this would be a game I'd definitely buy.
