I like the idea of this loop, and the environment is very pretty.
The flood is also so beautiful to watch coming in.
:)
I just think the actual shooting stuff on the ground part needs some refinement.
It didn't quite feel right to spend so long trying to shoot a tiny bush with a gun, and the small mushroom seemed indestructible!
If this were expanded, I think I'd prefer to be hunting monsters or bandits in the woods, rather than shooting tress and rocks; but I understand that is way too much to ask for a game jame.
Side note: I can keep shooting and reducing health as the water rises.
Might be a way to exploit this for extra EXP/loot.
The water is beautiful, let it come...
