Nice game! Having to choose between movement or shooting is really interesting. Maybe the firing rate should be turned down a bit so you can't spam-shoot quite as much. Also, I think the movement would feel better if the player accelerated and decelerated faster, since right now it feels like you're moving on ice (but maybe this is intentional since it does make the game harder).
I made a puzzle-platformer where you can only jump once per level, so you have to be very careful about when you use the jump: https://eae02.itch.io/one-hop-at-a-time. The Linux build was compiled against the arch binaries so I really hope it works in other distros too. If it doesn't start and running from the terminal writes something with missing shared libraries please let me know!
