sorry i have to hurry with feedback so...

great atmosphere, i really like the gameplay it feels smooth it feels satysfying and I like the attention to detail (like the animation for when the timer runs out even though it is pretty dark) 

What I enjoyed the most is that you esentially made a game that is on a timer, but the timer itself is so well placed into the world and gameplay that it doesn't feel like an arbitrary clock, but part of the world and part of the experience. 

One gripe is that I would really love an audio slider. Normally I wouldn't mind in a jam game, but your music is very agressive from the start (WHICH FITS THE GAME) but it just blasted my headphones. 

Cool art too

cheers!

When The death bullet came and the gun was pointed toward me I laughed so hard.

Love the artstyle and the mechanics!!! maybe you should have put a game over screen when you dont have any bullets anymore as well?  
The bullets countdown mechanic makes the game stressful but in a good way. Great game!!

We're glad you enjoyed it !

There's supposed to be a death screen when you run out of bullets, could you explain what you see ?

Submitted(+2)

in the first level, when i run out of bullets the game goes on, like i can run around and everything. I can pause and go to menu tho

Thank you for the bug report ! We're gonna check it out ;)

This is really cool. The polish level makes it seems like a piece of a full game. I really liked it. I'm not the best at shooters, but the whole timing, puzzle, and strategy aspects definitely helped with my skill and enjoyment. I love the art direction and music too. also, I find it funny how many people had the same approach to the theme as me lol. If a full version is planned, i would gladly play it.

pretty fun idea, I like the weapons being cycled on a revolver, I wasn't as creative lol
lacks a bit in polish, I get the style you were going for but still it just feels really raw. I feel like making less but more meaningful and polished levels would be the play here but still enjoyed it. good stuff

Thanks for the comment ! The reason why we had so much content was thanks to the great amount of level designers in our team. We gave it our all to make it as polished as we could !

5 stars. As a lover of Super Hot and Neon White, this game is just perfect for me! I had so much fun to play all the levels (so much cool level and ideas, yummy). That's a whole game you offered to us, with a very original and amazing concept, cool gameplay, a unique visual art style, a great music, that's cool and juicy to play and play again. Congrats, that's a wonderful work!

OMG this is kind of a full circuit moment for me. I've been following you for so long and you got me into so many franchises that made me the game designer I am today. Really glad you enjoyed our work ! (The latest mario quiz was fire by the way)

Same here! I'm so happy our game reach out someone I used to look at when I was a kid. The videos you made about making your games was parts of my first steps into gamedev :). Thank you for your comment!

I really love your unique, imaginative artistic style – it really caught my eye. The concept is immediately obvious, yet it ties in with the theme so cleverly – I absolutely love it! I think the sound effects could do with a bit of tweaking, though; for me, they’re perhaps a bit too loud!

reallyy cool concept i love the unique art and sfx

THIS GAME IS SOOO COOOOOLLL!!! I'm such a huge fan of this, its right up my alley. I love speed running games, I love crunchy graphics with unique styles and love big bassy distorted music and sound effects. The levels I've played so far are really fun and even more fun to try and speed run! I will bee going for rainbow trophy on all maps, I will have it, it will be mine.

Such a cool game!! I love the last bullet animation, the main menu changing colors, how smoothly you introduce new mechanics and the music is just a cherry on top.

V E R Y cool game! Very enjoed playing it. Very cool and interesting style, despite the boring levels design. By the way levels have very interesting and perfect puzzles with a lof of ways of passing. So very good job!

Submitted(+5)

game is just fun overall with a surreal artstyle and odd vibe (that's a good thing btw)

Submitted(+4)

This a amazing fun game! the level are short but its fun to try and get the least amount of bullets. Also the idea is so simple but brilliant! Love it.

The only thing is the music and especially the sound effects distorted and a little bit loud.
