OUTSMART BULLET is an action platformer game where you don't attack. However, you can parry enemy attacks and bounce off of them to gain massive velocity.

This game was made in 48h for the GMTK Jam 2023 with the theme "Roles Reversed". The idea was that in a vast majority of games the player has a very offensive role and we decided to flip this on its head by giving them exclusively defensive tools.  More specifically: your only move is Parry.

U challenged me, i took that personally.


lv1

lv2

lv3



Okay but seriously i grinded this game for like  90 minutes to get those:DD. Its not easy and ur times werent easy to beat.

Fun fact... that level 1 time i got pretty early on my grind, and while trying to get run on lv2 and 3 that i would be proud with, i came back to lv1 just to see if i could improve. Only thing i learned was how amazing that 14.1 was.... seriously its my only sub 15 in the whole level after hundreds attempts. No idea how i could pull it off.


Because of luck in first level the hardest grind i had was in second lvl where getting sub 15 took eternity. now i have kinda good strats tho and i think there is one wall parry too much in the run so it can be improves.


With level 3 almost happened the same as with level one because i got 8.9 very early and wasnt able to replicate that for a long time. Then something amazing happened and  i got that time. Sub 8.5 might be possible but thats about the limit the level can go...

anyways, i might have problem speedrunning dumb jam games(im not certainly done that with any other game ever :eyes:
