A downloadable game for Windows

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.

Winner of "Best Use of Theme"

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.

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.

Patch Notes:

v1.1:
- Fixed issue with UI not showing up properly on some objects.
- Fixed issue with Hydrogen-4 animation.
- Reworded some hints to make final puzzle easier.
v1.2:
- Moved around lemon to be less obvious.
- Added button to interior of food storage to prevent over-use of vents.
- Buttons now beep when pressed.
- Pistol makes SFX when picked up.
- Added text-like image to the nameplates, players didn't know what they were.
- Added functionality to store data between loops. After 7 uses, a door/gun will function automatically. The game should be completable within 7 or 8 runs, this change was made to prevent players becoming frustrated beyond then.
v1.3:
- Fixed numerous typos.
- Fixed issue with animations playing delayed (damn you Animation OnExit)
- Sped up animations for UI elements and weapons.
- Reduced gun movement, and zoom amount.
