DSY Update + Sale

We have completely reworked Don't Shoot Yourself into a spiritual journey. The game represents my personal struggles with finding myself, and so we've updated everything to reflect that struggle. Hopefully the new direction will help you find your way.

Updates:

  • 6 meaningful spiritual quotes to provoke wisdom, called Koans, hidden in special levels each with a new song by famed composer Gustavo Coutinho.
  • Beyond the impossible: All levels can be beaten in the new and balanced Zen difficulty mode replacing the old "impossible" mode.
  • New background art for every level based on ancient wisdom and mystics from around the world.
  • Over 50 new hints and quotes about mastering the art of zen when you get stuck on a level.
  • Collect Lotus Flowers as you walk your path.
  • Tiers have become Mindfulness States. Progress on a journey of the mind and soul.
  • Fixes for joystick mode, and many many many small UI fixes.

This version is a lot closer to the vision I had so many years ago. As we splash about in life can we learn to recognize the waves we make ourselves? It is a struggle, but can we accept ourselves? Can we let go of the conflicts that block the path to a higher more free existence?
