About

One Round, Back Around is a first person puzzle game, with a focus on time loops.

You're stuck in a strange science lab, with a nuclear reactor going critical, and only a single round in your gun. Can you figure out what's going on?

Made for the Game Jobs Live Game Jam, under the theme "One Time Use". I wanted to create a game where the player has a "one-time-use" pistol, but thanks to time loops, you get to keep using it.

Controls are available in the "tutorial", however here they are:

  • E/F - Interact
  • Ctrl/C - Crouch
  • Right Click - Draw Firearm
  • Left Click - Fire Firearm
  • Space - Jump
  • Tab - Inventory
  • ESC - Menu

There is currently no support for non-standard displays, 16:9 is all that I built on, though I will be polishing to add support for UW throughout the week. My plans for polish are:

  • Support for UI beyond 16:9.
  • Adjusting writing to be more/less cryptic in response to feedback.
  • Fixing issues with clipping and transparent objects.
  • Fixing any bugs that arise.

Credits:

I am a lone developer, though I got royalty free SFX and music, which is credited in the game, as well as fonts free for personal use.
