Really cool vibes here. The humming of the engine is ominous. A lot of the things I would mention (the walking animation, the enemy death vfx, health bars) have already been mentioned and you were already aware. Though for my part I wasn't bothered by not having a compass, your signposting in-world is very clear.

Some way to respawn after dying without refreshing the page is a must though!

Really great work, especially for such a short time. Glad to see you're planning to continue!

I think that without a minimap or a simple map screen/menu, it’s difficult to figure out where to go, especially since the ship is so big and the player HAS to wander aimlessly to figure out the layout for themselves. Maybe signposting could work instead of a map like having actual signs on the floor indicating where the rooms are.

The lack of a health bar made each encounter pretty uncomfortable as it forced me to always play it safe as if my character was about to die. And when I did die, it felt like it came out of nowhere since there aren’t hit reactions either.

I think the enemies should move slower than the player because its very easy for your playthrough to end by making a single mistake. I positioned in the middle of a corridor during the uplink timer section to give myself enough space to shoot left and right. Then I accidentally right clicked and walked too close to the next hall intersection and the enemies were impossible to shoot in time as they instantly rounded the 90 degree corner and swarmed me. If they moved slower than the player you would always have the ability to run back away and make enough room to safely shoot enemies.

Solid entry though. Balancing a jam game and getting all the details right is always impossible, and what you delivered has a lot of potential with some tweaks

HP bar or any other indicator would be nice. I thought I was invincible since I don't have any sort of health indicator. So I tried being bold and standing near enemies aaaand I died. So maybe I suggest adding an HP bar, or any other "taking damage" indicator such as the screen going red.

While I do agree with having a mini map of some sorts, maybe an arrow indicating where to go would be enough. Exploring is great, but since the movement is kinda slow, it's a little bit tedious.

The movement is a little bit slow to my liking, but I think that's fine for this game. Also when you get a lot of teammates, they seem to like to stand in the way of where you're going, especially when you try to back out from a spot.

The shooting mechanic is kinda broken in an overpowered way. Since there's no ammo and no reloading, you can just hold the shoot button and aim at the general direction of the enemy. But I guess it's more fun this way. It's especially satisfying to see the whole squad mow down a group of enemies during the end phase.

Speaking of the end phase, that part is really great. I like how you have to go back to your ship while defending your squad against incoming enemies.

Unfortunately I don't really understand the "trigger devastating chain reactions" part that you described in the description of the page. Unless you meant having to take control of the ship and make it explode at the end.

The art is really amazing. All of the small details in the ship and the props usage is really impressive for a game jam.

For audio, the SFX are great. Though it's a little bit quiet without any sort of BGM or ambience sound. I guess you're in space after all, and there's really no sound in space. Or maybe it's to add to the eerieness of the whole abandoned station

i understand the vibe and atmosphere, it’s the calm before the storm kind of thing. when the swarm of drones start attacking it’s start to get frenzy and fun! however the inbetween feels quite empty with less interactables. Maybe because the map was too big for its own scope. I appreciate you produce this level of quality during a short jam period. kudos!

so first of all, you can make the web build in unity be 720p default, and it would make the page much more appealing instantly, and with this big of en embed, i cant scroll when the game is on my screen
the shooting sfx starts too sudden and noisy, and if you make a single shot it doesnt sound complete
its really hard to take combat encounters, when character takes a second to start going in a new direction, well and obviously u cant move the character and shoot at the same time and thats awful
in the very first part of the game where player needs to find the console, u could block out parts of the ship or be more direct on where the player needs to go, cause i was wandering around for like 2 minutes
combat encounter are not engaging at all, first because there is no movement involved, each soldier has only 1 live so room for mistakes, but with a lot of soldiers could be good, infinite magazine, and too wide spray pattern that its unsatisfying to shoot.
honestly the idea is just not it, sci fi aesthetics are too niche, the visuals here is just assets, tho they look good enough when put together, the background of space is bad and doesnt fit, the core gameplay itself is too generic on its own, just guys walk around and shoot robots and wander around the ship. I hated that i was forced to wander around the ship 80% of the game, walking is not satisfying and boring without any encounters . I think this could be executed better, but it wouldnt make gameplay better. You would need to pair this with at least something, like roguelike or rpg elements, entertaining story, stunning art and sound, this gameplay is not good on its own

This was a neat experience!  It felt really cool when the whole squad of guys joined up toward the end.  I agree that a minimap would be a nice addition (not pathing/telling you exactly where to go, but a vague indicator of what direction to go could be nice).  Then again, there was something kind of nice about exploring the ship naturally except when there was time pressure at the end.

Graphics and sound were both solid.  The guys kind of slide around and don't really look like they're anchored to the floor, but that's not too bothersome.

The movement and gunplay felt nice to me; I didn't have any problems picking up the controls.  One thing that was a little bit difficult about it was that strafing/backing up while shooting was a little bit difficult (move the mouse to click behind you, then move it back to where you want to aim); I'm somewhat more used to twin-stick style shooters that give independent control over moving/aiming, but I actually kind of liked that this did something different with movement.

All-in-all, this was a really solid jam entry.  Nice work!

This is a really nice game , i don't have a problem with the right clicking to move , Good Job Overall ! 

I really love the atmosphere here, but I had a really hard time moving around. I would've much rather moved with ASWD instead of right clicking. I would move a few steps then stop and it didn't seem to move where/how I wanted to.

Really love this, especially the environment is just lovely. I don't think I agree with the idea that it needs a HUD minimap / other meta navigation. The signs above the sections are already a good start and I would love to see in-world navigation markings on the floors to help find your way around the ship, a bit like a hospital. Overall,  I think the initial mystery of having to explore and then slowly becoming familiar with the ship layout adds to the enjoyment.

Also love how simple the controls are, really nice! The actual movement could perhaps be polished a little bit, but moving around and engaging in combat is already very fun imo. Great job :) 

I need GPS!!! But the game looks cool

Wow, the surroundings are amazing! You would think that there was an entire team of 3d modellers and designers to make such an immersive and detailed ship. This makes players actually roam around and learn about the world, which is nice. Though the navigation itself was picky, I wish a 'circle'  appeared each time you set a new destination for the player, because otherwise it's confusing. 

Enemies, to be honest, felt bland, and I didn't understand anything about their chain reaction. When one blew up, others around it didn't.

I love the idea of a shooting wall. Felt like Rambo when I stood at the choke point with others and demolished everyone in lead rain. 

I wish there were more sounds and music.

Hey thanks for making and sharing the game. Couple of points. When the game started I was looking at the spacecraft (fighter jet looking thingy) so my assumption was I should get in and start flying. I assumed because the title was spacecannon it meant running a cannon on a space ship. So I spent a good minute trying to get in the spaceship before I realized I was not meant to go in there. Secondly, because there were no map, it was hard to figure out where to go and when I eventually got there the drones spawned instantly and I couldn't react fast enough and died. For a game jam when people rating it are probably only going to play it  a few minutes before deciding to stay or leave, that felt...unsatisfying. It might be best to keep the level design tight and straightforward. Maybe only a couple of rooms initially before you open up the rest of the spaceship.

The assets looks great and the combat is fun. Good job.

Pretty cool game! The ending I found a little tricky but still a pretty cool experience overall. While others have said a compass or a mini map could help I slightly disagree . You already had the signs that said "Medical Bay 1" and "Bridge" and if there was more of that, that'd be fine. Even more in game pointers similar to that, that don't require UI or any too direct information thrown at you would be neat. I did like the strategic element of having to find a space where you had room to move in the limited time you had before drones arrived. I think having a few small drones attack you while you're on you're way to another objective could help keep things engaging. Definitely a cool vibe though,  it was pretty fun to navigate once I understood the level layout better. Shooting was pretty fun when more people joined the squad too. Good work!

Drones! Never been so much fun!

Found myself wishing it was longer. Agreed with that other fella who said navigation was a little tricky. I realized eventually I'd seen a symbol that might represent where the reactor is. Could be an idea to lean into: the fact that your guy doesn't know the station from the beginning, but has to explore it and learn. Either way, nicely done!
