Cool levels, but I got lost a couple of times searching for the next key. Good visuals and gameplay!
A very cool game. I enjoyed it and played it a lot. You did a good job. The graphics are polished and the game is great. Unfortunately, it didn't get the ratings it deserved. 10/10
I really enjoyed this game!
Unicle game!
Amazing work on the game! I love the 2d art in a 3d world and found it humorous that it takes place in Bikini Bottom. It felt very strange killing SpongeBob and his friends.
The gameplay itself felt pretty good. I didn't know exactly what I was suppose to do, but after roaming around, figured I'd break into SpongeBob's house.
I'm impressed by the animation and art and the gameplay was enjoyable. Well done!
Such a great idea and execution. The 3d pizel art style game is just too niceee. Very interesting game to play
this game is so so good I love it, I want a full game of this. The sponge bob setting and the sound is crazy, the idea is great! Perfect visual style
I definitely have ideas for like 6 extra levels I wanted to make but didn't get to because of time. I think once I get finished with the work I have to do I'll make a significantly expanded version of this game. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for playing.
Something I love: I LOVE THIS GAME! I love the audio clips you put, the music, the visuals, the animations, the entire pineapple set up from walking in the door to leaving was super good lol. I love the level names and all of the custom pixel art for each maps theme. I love that you can save and load a game! I love all of the settings you have too!
Things that frustrated me: that there wasn't more lol
Bugs I found: You can jump out of the map on the boating level
Overall: As a fellow SpongeBob enjoyer since birth. It was a lot of fun playing this game, watching its story unfold in a "Postal 2" type manner, and see the environments I grew up loving in a new light! Keep up the great work!
If I continue working on this, I'll definitely lean more into the postal inspiration. Thanks for playing my game! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, I really liked this shooter! The 3D pixel art is amazing. At first, I had no idea what to do and just wandered around wasting all my ammo, but once I realized I could enter Spongebob’s house with 'E,' I restarted and played it again. It might be helpful to add a little 'Press E to enter' prompt there, but other than that, it was great. It felt really good to play and has so much potential. Great job! :)
Noted! Don't feel bad, you're not the first person to report not knowing what to do in that very beginning section. I should have listed some controls/objectives on the main itch page. Thanks so much for playing my game!
I loved the game! And I usually don't like shooters, but the felt so good to play and control. I liked the graphics too. The difficulty becomes a bit challenging for me sometimes but other than that, very nice game.
Loved the game! Character controls feel very smooth and responsive. Even on ladders! Whom did you sell your soul for that skill??
Jokes apart, it really is a great experience. The only big problem for me were billboard sprites. By their nature, they spin around their axis a lot, so making such pictures big makes navigation in close spaces a bit confusing. You just don't know for sure where you can pass and where it is impossible, but you can't see it yet because of the current sprite angle. Or maybe it's just me...
Also, are their death screams a Wolfenstein 3D reference?
Next time I make a game like this, I'm going to make sure to make the hitboxes for the billboard sprites more clear. I used a small 16-wide hitbox on almost everything in the game for time constraint reasons even where the billboard was otherwise way bigger than that.. Also, it's totally a wolfenstein 3D reference, the whole game is! I really appreciate you playing, and I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Well, I got crash when I open the game, I hope you fix it :l
Not sure what's causing that, shouldn't be on the game's end. Sorry you couldn't play! Let me know if you figure it out.
I enjoyed beating up spongeboy with the karate hands, w game
Thanks for playing!
This was amazing and so impressive for having been done in only 7 days! The graphics look great and the game is overall pretty polished. My only real problem is that it was a bit difficult to know where I was supposed to go throughout the game.
Thanks for the criticism, I'm going to work hard to improve my level design for the next shooter game I make. I really appreciate you playing my game. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Just finished the game. Really nice work! Especially the animations were super nice. I loved the variety of guns and their animation especially. Great art style!
Hahaha, a nice game! The visuals are great and the music fits very well. I was looking for Squidward in the first level and found him in level 2!
Cool game! The visuals are nice and it is pretty interesting to see sponge bob theme around here haha
