How does your game fit the theme?
When we heard that the jam theme was "outside the box" we wanted to challenge ourselves and our players to think outside the box without resolving to a puzzle game. This game lets you think outside the box of the usual perspectives and find ways to use the 2nd perspective mechanic to your advantage.

This game is hilarious! Great job!
Really cool concept, but like, I'm already bad at FPS and TPS, this SPS is even worse, I did really bad, couldn't get past the second level lol.
The concept of the game is totally unique, in the entire jam no one has come to this type of idea. I don’t know why the game has so less ratings but this game deserves top 10 at least.
Death is very funny, and the mechanic was super creative. I love that certain enemies let you have some control over their attacks, and the music is great. I think some levels get a bit overly frustrating (especially the bridge level where you essentially have to trial and error your way through things due to massive fireball blasts and camera angles where it's near impossible to see where you are), but overall I had fun and any singleplayer game with a taunt button is peak
this is the only game in this entire submission list that i have no idea how you even created it. this is insanely nuts, plus the art is sick as fuck
This need more votes its so cool you gotta keep working upon this game :>
Jeeeeeeeeez holy freakin masterpiece what the heck man this is so good how did you do this in a month. Obviously the controls are a little frustrating but that's kind of the idea lol i had a lot of fun with this game. I'm terrible at it, but it was fun. Nice job!
It was honestly really sick!! Only issue I had was that when you first start out, it’s hard to tell when you’re actually facing an enemy due to the gun being off center, and in one hand only, it’d be easier to read it as facing the enemy if the gun was being held with both hands like how in game FPS games they have aim mode, but I really enjoyed it a ton! Laughed a good number of times too!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the game! I like the idea of holding the gun with both hands in the center to make it a bit easier to aim. I might test this out later. Thanks for the feedback!
This was so funny and great. I had a great time from beginning to end.!
This game is hilarious and way more engaging than I thought it would be. The mechanics are super fun to learn, and the skill ceiling super high for a game made in a month. The last level felt a bit clunky, but everything else was awesome.
It's such a cute game, I love the warm colors i still gotta learn more about the controls, but damn so much versatility, you have a lot of potential in this game, THE PET COMMAND ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ;----;;;;
Very cool idea! I think my brain is not ready to play with these inverted movement controls haha. Nice artwork
