Recoil! My first game is almost ready for release!

I'm just about done with my very first indie game called Recoil! I just need a little more feedback on gameplay and bugs. I'm hoping to push into the 3D world after this so any tips are welcome! https://bobingstern.itch.io/recoil

Interesting.  Reminds me of Getting Over It, but slightly less awkward.  Still too awkward for my tastes, but I guess some people might be into it.

One suggestion I would make is to add a bit of Coyote Time - a moment or two after falling off a ledge where you are still considered "grounded" and can still fire the gun twice.  It can be hard to tell where the ledge actually is, and the round shape of the player character makes it hard to tell when you are "on the ground", so this would help provide feedback in areas with uneven terrain and would make the game a little less frustrating.

The credits screen seems bugged. It moves at a snail's pace and there doesn't seem to be any way of leaving the screen.

Thanks for the Reply! Coyote Time sounds like a good idea. The credits seemed to work fine during testing, Ill look into it. Thanks for letting me know!
