Cool mechanic idea! Maybe you could add more weapons that you have to check the magazines on, like a machine gun or a shotgun! Maybe you could have a mechanic where you can grab items that give you a comically large chamber where you can have more bullets to shoot with without blowing up? Maybe you can add a mechanic where you can use the empty gun as a bomb and throw it at enemies for them to pick up, only to explode? Either way, I'm glad you were able to submit this entry before the deadline - I know how stressful it can be to release a game 11 seconds before the deadline lol! Good luck on the rest of your jam!
