Pretty nice game, actually! I'm not a big fan of fast, precision-based action platformers, but it's definitely a pleasure to watch gameplay like this. The game has real potential to grow into something bigger

Fun game only movement shooter I've played so far which is surprising lol. Loved the doom music, helped me get into the right mindset haha. We'd love for you to check out our game, rate and let us know what you think :)

Surprisingly the first movement shooter I've seen so far in the jam and the movement feels very crisp!

When the doom-esq music kicked in I suddenly felt way better at the game. Which was good because I was doing pretty bad up until then.

Slick and fast platformer! I was strangely addicted to this game. I onlywish it had some sort of high score or time, so I feel like I'm doing better than my last run. Good job!

I really enjoyed this one. Short but sweet. Lots of fun once you figure out the mechanics and you barely even touch the ground. As simple as it is it is still very fun and I think this could be fleshed out into something great.
