About

RecoilRabbit is a brutal momentum based platformer where you play as Bennie, a rabbit who has had enough. Armed with a stolen shotgun, he is out for revenge on the farmers who hunted his friends. Expect to die a lot. Mastery is the point.

Theme

Mini Jam 208's theme was Inverted with the limitation 'enemies to weapons'. The core mechanic is built around this. The roles are what is inverted. Shooting kills enemies, but the real purpose of your gun is to blast yourself in the opposite direction. You are not just shooting forward, you are using recoil as your main form of movement. Everything is inverted from what a gun is supposed to do.
