Closed Circuit by Joshua Stone

Created solo in 72 hours, including all art/animation, music, and sound design.
Epilepsy Warning: Game contains flashing lights & visuals
Originally had bigger plans for an interesting story utilizing the theme in a more clever way, but ended up having to scrap the idea to make the deadline. Learned a lot during this jam, and I'll probably end up taking this idea further in some form in the future.

Really solid effort. The gameplay is fun enough though perhaps a bit repetitive, was there any purpose to being able to aim up and down?? But apart from that, well done!
@mike09123 Glad you like the graphics! I've added an warning in the description for now at least.
@no-grapes-games I appreciate the suggestions! Was intending to let the play duck for cover behind the columns in the background, but just didn't end up having time on the last day.
@drnoir Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Definitely focused a lot on the graphics, music, & sounds this time around. Initially I some ideas for more complicated randomly-generated environments (hence the maze stuff in the beginning of the video) including vertical movement via staircases, but ended up scaling back the idea to a horizontal loop as I ran out of time.
If you do end up taking the idea further and giving the game some depth, it's going to be really cool. Well done.
