We did bite more than ew could chew and had to cut and re-adapt several things. The controls didn't get a refinement pass, I recommend using a Gamepad, it works much better than keyboard+mouse, unfortunately. Also we didn't have time to properly implement some gameplay features, so some things are indeed quite buggy.\r\rWindwalkerranger, the connection to the theme is that you only have 1 hit point, so you have do dodge every single bullet or else you die..."},{"author_name":"occash","author_uid":"31683","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 6:37pm","epoch":1387305120,"text":"It's very good!

When I was playing, I often got confused as to which surfaces I could jump through (the wooden catwalks were particularly pernicious). I would make sure that it is very clear where what objects you can pass through, and what objects you can't. It's fun to play, but frustrating to die because of something I didn't intend. I would also like to see the jumping and movement physics tweaked a little. Right now, the keyboard controls feel sluggish (I haven't tested it on a controller, but I assume it's probably better on that). Other than those few things, I think it's a great game! I loved the music. Short and sweet. I must've played at least 10 rounds."},{"author_name":"dalbinblue","author_uid":"13960","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 2:21am","epoch":1387332960,"text":"Beautiful artwork, really cool game; controls are a little difficult; will try with gamepad later."},{"author_name":"Jellycakes","author_uid":"13474","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 3:13am","epoch":1387336080,"text":"Really cool game!

Yes, we didn't have time to fine-tune the controls for the Jam, but we will put up a post-compo version soon, we have greatly improved the controls.

Though bullets moved slower than usual, dodging was difficult since they kept bouncing around. And oh, I loved being able to kill enemies higher up by shooting at the ground! And spawning as different characters in different places each time was cool. The combination of 2D sprites and 3D levels was pretty effective, so some great gfx there. Some bugs were there, like being able to shoot through walls if you gun went through it(and getting shot through walls this way).

Also, like Arkrothe said, the bullets aren't as visible as we wish they were.
