took me a moment to realize i needed to grappled to the platform as it flipped around. (kept falling off right off the bat. then wondering why i wasn't dead. then closing and restarting.
thought it felt good to grapple and move to spin the thing so i could get shot at the baddie. But after figuring that out, and pushing the baddie back, i guessed there wasn't anything else to do so i stopped.
but, dig the idear.

I reeally liked the concept but physics is a little bit too sensitive for my taste, stiil i think it's a great idea wich maybe with more time and more twiking cool be a very cool game !

Really unique and interesting concept. Art and music go well together. I think you should be able to jump from the gun, it would make the movement more fluid. Nice entry either way, and very fast production!

@warren @coderaurus @namnam - thanks for the feedback! i did some tweaks in an updated build to the game to improve the sense of control over the pivot gun. You can now pull it around a lot easier, which can launch you into the air. The player bullets push the enemies more, and the grapple length is longer. I think it's significantly easier now. Though I could probably keep tweaking it foreverrrrr
@adrian-guevara thanks!

Very very sensitive physics, but the game is still awesome. Great job!

Very innovative gameplay, perectly matching the theme. I also like the simple but intense music. It's a bit hard to play, but a realy good idea.

Hi there pistolcharactercreater) I liked the game. Innovative gameplay. Graphics and sound are combined. It would be cool to add more freedom and flexibility to the character
