Really neat game. Using yourself as the weapon was a great idea. I like the changing simple music for this too. I think you hit the theme spot on. The whole taking care of your shots "must hit" kind of mentality really makes it even more interesting.

Great Work.

I love these kind of 'labyrint'games. Really fun to play!

A nice concept. I liked the design of the HUD and enemies. It seemed to lag quite badly at times though.

Really great game, the balance between using yourself as ammo and not dying is really well done. Strafing is a bit slow and awkward, but other than that the controls are tight and the game plays well.

This is awesome! I played again and again every time trying to be as precise as possible when shooting so that I don't melt. That is a cool mechanic! I didn't make it to the final boss though, a bit too hard for me :-(

Thanks for reviews! I think i fixed the lag problem, and its less laggy now.
And a strafe is a little faster now.

This was awesome! Love the overall aesthetic and sprite animations. The music was repetitive but catchy. In addition to that the mechanics were really interesting and unique. The shrinking effect really added a lot. Overall I thought it was great, nice job!

Ok. So the more you shoot ... You're actually shooting your own body ? Interesting ...

I couldn't really follow what was going on at the start. And what ... on earth is going on - Why am I talking to a banana ? And why am I, like, a green gingerbread man ? Bit creepy ...

The game itself is nice enough. Couldn't really get anywhere without dying - How do you jump over the ravine ?

Super nifty! I love the aesthetics, and using the player's mass in place of a traditional "ammo" meter fit the theme super well. Very unique, and tons of fun. Great work!

Good use of the theme. Nice touch with the character getting smaller as he spends gelatin. Great humour too!

Awesome. I played it on linux with wine. It reminded me of the first games I ever played which were in that kind of mazes too. I just would have liked to have music and sounds.

Pretty cool game, the intro felt a bit unnecessarily long though.

This game is like 'Doom' with diabetes.

A crosshair, my kingdom for a crosshair!
I actually liked this!
The title was good, the wacky idea was great. Ik liked the sound effects of the intro (very funny).

But not easy, because you don't have a crosshair. And death is not far away.

The only thing I did not like so much, was the music. I think it might even be better if you just used more of the sound effects (those were great!)

Putting 2d sprites à la Wolfenstein is an excellent idea. I love it!

Really neat game! Super well done. I included it in part 6 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Q11RJey0954

Wow, nice DOOM-esque game! Loved the graphics and the non-sense mood!

A fun idea, in a nice simple game. A bit too few shots before you die.
