I died at the boss at the end. I wish I could have had a rematch. I like the visuals and SFX. The note mentioning the bullet jumping mechanic is the only reason I could make it as far as I did. The aiming could be a little finicky at times. Great effort!
Went back for the rematch, got em!
I love the art, music and sound design! The game was creative and engaging.
Thank you!
Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one that went the shadow route. Your idea was much more creative though I feel. I love the pixel art and the gameplay. A little tricky, but not too difficult with some instructions and some practice. Well done!
Thanks. I'd love to play your game

Of course! Here's mine.
It's really hard to play, you should consider add a tutorial or something. But cool mechanics! I liked when you can use your own bullets as a platform.
Thanks for the feedback. I made the first level really easy as a sort of tutorial and added the instructions of the itch.io page. What kind of tutorial would you suggest?
I think you could explain that their own shadows are the enemy inside the game, because it did not understand the goal of the game until I saw your description. But, other than that, i think you game is a cool concept! Keep up the good work.
I'll try to do that once the jam is ove
