I picked this game up from the Racial Justice bundle from itch.io.

I'll be honest in that I didn't quite catch the plot of this game. I think you live in an apartment.... inside a whale? In the sky?? In any case, you have a gun that shoots a bullet. Every time you shoot said bullet, you have to retrieve it. There's a combo system at play with how many times you catch your bullet before it hits the ground, and the levels are tight and frantic.

I am.. not good at this game, and that is for sure a me problem, and not the game. There is a subset of the gaming community that should 100% try this game out. It's got an extremely quick game loop, demands excellence from your play, and punishes accordingly. I really dig the limited resource aspect with the gun. My only real mechanic dislike is that if you hold jump to flutter, you can only shoot downwards. This wouldn't be so bad if it didn't basically instantly point your gun down. A tiny bit of flexibility there would go a long way in making navigating the arena's easier.

Or maybe I'm just bad at it.
