Recoil Reach is a vertical platformer. You can only increase your height when you shoot enemies with (Left Mouse Click).  This is physics based platformer. The goal is to get as high as possible.

Controls:

    Left Mouse Click: Shoot bullet.

This is my first game and game jam so it obviously is not very good. I would appreciate as many tips as possible in the comments! :D

As for how it fits the theme I figured repurposing a weapon as a platformer device would fit!
