Well, I have to say this game got me originally, as I was confused why I wasn't shooting! After I worked out how the game worked though, I quickly worked my way through the levels. The puzzle elements are good and it took me a while to work out how to tackle each stage, although they did become a little cluttered after a while. I really liked the juice the game had though, the screenshake when the bullet hits a wall, and the persona 5 style shadow screen that appears when you die. With some more level design, maybe adding in extra shadows? (You can maybe get them to shoot each other?) I think that this game could become a really great puzzle game. Well done, I really enjoyed it!

Really liking the graphics! I appreciate the persona 5 style silhouette upon death XD The idea is pretty fun and I also like how the bullet behaves. Minor nitpick here but a more top-down perspective will make aiming a lot more accurate :D Great game nonetheless!

All is Chaos in Love and WarThe idea of using the ricochet to defeat the enemy was good and the character well drawn. Good job.

Lies and FantasyReally like the idea of the game. For some reason everything was in slow Motion for me, dont really know if it is supposed to be like that. But still awesome game!

It Looks like a platformer, but there is more to it.

I'd love to try this one. Are you able to build a macOS version? If so you can upload to an external site (google drive, media fire, etc) and just share the link here so we can play and rate during the rating period.

Malgrim Research InstituteAwesome! I'll try it out.
EDIT - This is amazing! Love the flow of this game. Moving about the level, using the obstacles, and setting up the perfect shot to reflect back to the past shadow are all really cool! The controls feel good and tight. The animation is smooth. Watching the bullet play afterward is so satisfying and I love the masking of the end result into the striking red and black colors. The sound fx fit well. This is a dynamite entry! Well done!
I love your art style! I have lots of fun playing if.
I guess a auto restart when the bullet fly away will be cool. I didn't know I need to press R to restart because the UI is hidden!
I appreciate if you play and rate my game! Hope you will enjoy it!
