this game is so fun and the visuals looks so good! it is also really easy but that makes it even better

Developer

This is a super fun game! The sound and effects when firing the gun feel incredibly satisfying, and exploring the rooms with the dynamic light and shadows creates a really intense atmosphere. It’s impressively polished — especially considering it was made by a single developer.

The only things that stood out to me were not being sure how far the gun could shoot, and the lack of clear feedback when taking damage.

Overall, an excellent submission!

Developer

thanks i will be fixing all the problems after the jam

Nice game! I like the music and visuals. The gameplay is fun, and the top-down view with walls looks cool.

Super polished and juicy game! I love how powerful the gun feels.

Awesome game, fun and juicy
The labyrinth section was getting a bit repetitive and boring. with same thing to do
The graphics style is very cool, loved the shadows,
can't really see how it matches the theme, i mean you risk your life in most games?
I mean there is no "risk more or less" choice scenario.
but anyway i enjoyed game overall and final boss was cherry on top.

Good gameplay loop and good effects used. The weapon feels great and powerful

Honestly love the game. Music and visuals are great and my only real issue with the game is that you can just hold down the mouse and  not really have to worry about much while playing. But again, great game.

Damn, a really solid game! Really like how you implement the top-down view XD

Very good submission. Nice pace, like the alternative routes and the music. Just missing some character animation and some more game juice imo.

Developer

thanks i fully agree, thanks for the feedback :)

As a metalhead, this is tight. Really well done on the music, definite Slayer and Testament vibes I feel! I'm trying to get a lot better at guitar so I can start incorporating riffs like this into the music I make for games as well!

Love the boss design too. I wish he had more attack patterns! Would've made for a super cool finale. Good work!

Developer

thanks :)  the game was inspired by the original Doom and the music i piked i wanted to have the same feel as the Metallica song Master of Puppets, and i will be making the game longer and bigger after the jam, Thanks for the feedback fellow metalhead :)

Pretty fun  and short game! Thought I will say, it  is a bit too easy, I mean holding the button an shooting a big minigun is fun, but the enemies are not that hard to deal with.... Maybe having to reload the minigun?? if not, maybe giving enemies a rage attack...


Overall, pretty fun game, has good potential!

Developer

thanks for the feed back :)

Won on my second run! A really fun game. Congrats!

Developer

thanks for playing :)

Such an amazing and exiting game!! It's a short experience but while it lasts you get joy every second of it!! The only thing I would need to say is that the only risk there is is to get one shot, which would work if the gun wasn't so OP haha! Still super fun and exciting!

Felt like screaming at the top of my lungs the entire game, think I did a few times tbh. This is entirely a good thing. Complete madness from start to finish, hold down and shoot and just YEAHAEHAHAH. Might be missing some of the complexity of the boomer shooters that inspire it, but absolutely captures the energy on every single level. Great entry!

Developer(+1)

thanks that just what i was going for, after the jam i will be making the game longer :) thanks for the feedback

Deep exited Cinema male voice: YEEEAAAAHHHH !!!

That was a blast!

It would fit the theme more if it would reward risky gameplay more. Maybe through an Special Ammo system, healing-items, points though coins or sth - so that exploration and confronting enemies would be more motivated.  At some point i just did not stop shooting anymore. That pretty exploited the Game - even though it was fun es hell. Cool game! Thanks for making it! 

Developer(+1)

thanks :) i'm glad you had fun, i was going to make it so that when yo kill enemy's they drop health but only if your right up next to them but i ran out of time (also is the deep exited cinema male voice han solo? i love star wars) thanks for playing :)

It is a bit short, but the feeling of just blasting with the mini gun... you made that so satisfying! Like top down DOOM. Great Work

Developer

thanks glad you liked it :)
