I got jumpscared by my own arms when I turned too fast around a corner. 10/10

(But legit very fun - good application of the theme. LOVE drawing the glyphs in the air and it's surprisingly forgiving with the recognition. Even when it does end up spawning a different gun, which only happened once or twice for me, it's still good for killin. Very impressive for only two people as well!)

I really loved the idea and implementation of drawing glyphs! Very intuitive, and I feel like this could open the door to a world of a possibilities for both puzzle-solving and combat mechanics. The game was a bit glitchy for me, but such are most jam games :) Great work!
