How did you implement the theme?
My game is a 'cheap copy' of ULTRAKILL (specially, it's cyber grind arena mode)

How did you add the special object?
Player's can toss an umbrella in the air, and shoot it to fly in the sky for a short period of time. It's a lot of fun, lol

Fun mechanic. Mary-poppins death-robot. Yes.

The only downside to this game was the lag going into waves and that it's a little buggy, but other than that, this game was fun! The throwing umbrella mechanic is clever, I like the arena's design, and the wave system. Awesome game!

Developer

Thanks for dropping a comment, happy to hear you're having fun with the game. Even with the lag, the arena's a lot of fun!

Sadly, there was major lag for me when the first round started, and the pause menu is broken. I love the throw umbrella and shoot to float up. I can definitely see this being on a console tbh. I loved how the pause menu looked btw! Very nice job on the game jam!

Developer

Yeah the lag is a real heartbreaker with this one. Happy to hear you liked playing with the umbrella, it's a fun twist for an FPS

Liked it !

Lag was really frustrating, try preloading enemies instead of loading them during game, that should help. Beside that i liked it

Developer

Yeah, preloading enemies is a good tip for the lag. i tried object pooling and preloading em all at the start, but obviously it wasn't done quite right. Here's to next time xD

Pretty freakin sick. I like the slowmo when you're on the umbrella! I'm really curious how a mechanic like this could be used in a platformer... 

Developer

Yeah, that slowmo when you're on the umbrella is perfect for hitting sick shots. And a mechanic like this would be way cooler in a platformer! I'm picturing a game like downwell. You can throw the umbrella below you, nail it with your gun, and get to glide and a breathe for a bit.

I enjoyed what I played, but there were lag spikes that detracted from the experience, unfortunately. Other than that, it's pretty fun! 

Developer

Thanks for playing and dropping a comment! Yeah those lag spikes between the waves are really annoying, I'll try to find a fix that makes it more smooth

Layer 8 leak no way

Developer

Yeah, this Layer 8 leak was a little half-baked @Hakita xD
