This feels like a complete game, not jam game. It's hard to believe it was made in 9 days. You are mad man awesome work.
Love the game style and idea, it gives off Backrooms vibes, but in a unique, “I’m lost but having fun” kind of way. Very polished, though there are some visual bugs (rendering issues in HTML, I think?). Love the sound effects. Overall, one of the most interesting games in this jam. Great work!
This game is really fun! It reminds me of that old style that doom gives off.
A few things that could be fixed up:
Some feedback from getting hurt
The enemies are quite tanky, rather have more than enemies than enemies with more health
The rocket launcher didn't seem like it was working
Good entry 👌
Thanks, the rocket launcher was quite tricky to integrate. I'll definetly try to adjust it for the update. I will also work on the enemies. 🤗
I really love this kind of 3D Backrooms + Dreamcore style. The visuals and music are both excellent!
I really like it and can’t wait to see the updated version! !
i like it also the dreamcore vibe and the 3d look is like those horror games on psx and the sprites are really funny. Also I like the concept of using a gun and the mini tutorial that felt on point
The game feels like the psychedelic dream of someone with schizophrenia, in a good way of course hahaha. The sound effects are a bit loud but they're all great and the background music is good too. It's fun and neither too difficult nor too easy to play. Regarding the theme, it's on point but sometimes we forget about it. All in all, the game is very good.
A game that is designed to be Fun. Graphics are mid, audio works fine but gameplay is what defines this game. Mechanics, enemies, obstacles, movement. Truly speaking, that's what a gamejam is truly meant for. Nice job, just I like gameplay more than i ever like assets. Although that's a personal opinion, but that is the kind of stuff that shines in a gamejam. Well done
Nice job! I like the retro 3D look. Reminds me of classic PC games, like Wolfenstein and Dark Forces. Very original and unique levels and enemies. Congrats!
I really like the art! The game play is fun as well. It's crazy how you made this in the time-frame.
Your game is nice. I like 2.5D. I just had a glitch on floor two, for a moment I felt like something was falling on me. And every time I reappear, I lose my life very quickly, with this something stuck to my feet. Otherwise good job.
Yeah, alot of people when trough this bug but am glad you liked it. After the jam am making a big update fixing all the bugs and adding a speedrun mode.
I enjoyed it! I'm not usually a big fan of shooter games, but I ended up playing yours for much longer than I expected. It's really very good. :)
This by far is the best game in this jam how did you make a game so polished good job
This game looks really good, feels really good, and has well-made sound, although the enemies have way too much health for the pistol, making it feel very tiring. Nonetheless I hope you the best of luck.
I tried combating this issue by adding new guns such as the AK47 And the RocketLauncher. But I do understand that is an issue.
The art, audio and overall presentation is immaculate - I loved the gun seller lol. The environments are beautifully esoteric and the music compliments them. The controls are tight and allow for great satisfaction while manoeuvring around enemies, especially so paired with the level design.
The guns could've had more impact, and there needs to be some feedback for when you get hit. Past that, it would be nice if the weapon shop displayed the stats of each gun so that you could make a more informed decision, but it's not necessary.
Overall, really, really great job with this one man! I look forward to your future work!
thank you so much!!! I was going to add the gun stats but the time frame was too short, and I wanted to dedicate more time for the final battle :P
There is 2 bugs That am aware of just so if you play the game you will see.
1th is that in some browsers for some reason the guns keep going forwards.
2th is that if you die in a level with a smash enemy the save state will bug and put you inside the box killing you instantly. I have no idea why.
All this bugs can probably be fixed bu using browser that is not chromium based.
Akhem... The gun seller MADE the game. Again
I know, I know. He is perfect. Pienaple :3
Glad you got the game back on the jam. Really fun and unique.
Thankss
awesome game, had fun playing it on stream
Thanks, and am sorry you got the box bug it happens in some browsers because of the save state feature /:
I highly recomend checkjng the ending on the youtube video as my gameplay wasent bugged (and I put a lot of effort into the end :) )
this is amazing. That's all im gonna say. Hope this wins.
Thank you so muchhh
