## Description

Six chambers. Six shots. Make every one count.
You're a cadet with one dream: making it into the Space Marines. Between you and that badge stands the Tryout, an arena full of training dummies and a drill sergeant who hands you a six-shooter and wishes you luck. Survive long enough and you might just get accepted. Probably not, though.
How it plays
- Click to shoot. Every bullet is a decision, not a spray
- Fire through all 6 chambers in order, then the gun reloads on its own
- Level up from kills, pick 1 of 3 upgrades, then choose which chamber it goes in
- Upgrades stack. Put the same one in a chamber three times and it just gets meaner
- Bullets carry a damage pool and punch through enemies until the damage runs out

Build one chamber into a nuke
- Explosive rounds weakens or even kills a whole crowd
- Multiply your laser-shots with each kill using the SplitShot upgrade
- Chain lightning jumping from enemy to enemy
- Napalm pools, timed fuses, burn, cryo, knockback, homing, lifesteal
- Double Barrel, crits, heavy rounds, all 21 upgrades stackable in any chamber

One more round. Game Jam 3 Entry
