Happened to take another look at this after a few years. And I'd forgotten how good the naming was. General Ricochet / General Pinochet is such a good pun. It sums up the theme and about half the game mechanics in two words

Fun!
I got distracted trying to bounce the bullet up or down the zig-zag on the right, and finally realized it was easier to just go the simple route
Had a lot of fun with the level editor. Always meant to get around to trying this!

Here is my level: A zombie apocalypse is starting and you gotta protect the children, but also you know it's the end so you just gotta bite the bullet. D916H08H6A8A6D17A6A0H8A6A18C06B17A06I8A6A8A1A06C17A06I8A6A8A1A06C17A06I8A6A8A6D17A06I8A6A8A6D17A06E8D6B8A6A9B5A1An0AnAnAnAnAnAn8An6AsAsB1P0Q
Nice! Looks a lot harder than it is, which makes it very satisfying when you see how simple the answer is :)

Make that 4 with a jump at the start.
theoretically possible with 3 but i cant do it.
I did it with 1. If you shoot right when the level starts it's possible !
I call this one "Neo"
You will need to bullet time it fellas

I don't even know how i did this in 6.
Good luck.
The box your stuck in is too short to aim the gun all around. Gets in the way
I made a platformer.

This is super creative!!
I really like it, I think once I add some great user built levels it'll be a great little time waster like One Finger Death Punch.
im surprised i got it this low

After insisting to employ useless dogs as your guards you find your mansion overran by the enemy you flee to your bunker to end it all. Good luck

In an alternate 1973, "Alvador Sallende" closes in on "General Ricochets" position. Surrounded by the looming sickle of justice, with the CIA deathsqaud nowhere to be seen, will the would-be-dictator manage to escape his trial?
(The most elegant solution is 7 bounces)

I tried to make some sort of story with this one. You are a secret agent sniper and you need to eliminate yourself and two high value targets (The soldier dogs) for some sort of agency, but avoid shooting civilians (The children dogs).
Fire from up top and then protect the child!
