Like most jam games (especially first ones, congrats btw), the core idea is pretty good but there are some minor problems.First and foremost is that the central mechanic (losing score when firing) isn't explained so I found myself dying a lot because I didn't know score depleted by firing. Also increasing the character's jump would mean that falling into the spikes wouldn't be a instant game over. That said the game has some excellent juice when firing the gun, the sound the knock back, everything. The core idea is also quite good, though I'm not entirely sure how it relates to the theme.
Thank you for the feedback! I actually wanted to implement a tutorial level to avoid the confusion. As for the relation to the theme, Jazz is in a way his own enemy, the abilities he got, the score, and the way he got there.. he plays against himself...you are your enemy therefore you are the enemy. Once again thank you for the feedback, I will definitely be posting updates!
