How does the game fit the theme?
Escape a labyrinth teeming with maniacal slaughter bots. A mysterious voice guides you to freedom… or does it? Only one way to find out! Muahahaha >;-)
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Nice game, keep it up!
(Our game is still a bit short on ratings, so if you've got a sec to leave one we'd really appreciate it :D)

Who stole Mika's balls?The game is really fun.
The moveset is quite solid, although I miss some upgrades or power ups to give more variety to the gameplay.
I clip out of bounds using the respawn, trying to land on something visible down below. That caused a game over. was that intentional?

Alas, they kill themPretty fun game !!(though the theme just felt like it was added on as an after thought)
The visuals and all were pretty nice, and the game was fun and enjoyable, though i personally felt the last room was a little too difficult (but could definitely be a skill issue on my part XD)

Who Cut The CheeseThis was great fun but not sure how it fits the theme. I appreciated the unlimited ammo and the bombs were fun to use. Great job!
Submitted
Fides CorviNice work, pretty satisfying to snipe things. I think it could use a little bit of heft/impact with the shooting (especially sniper mode) but was lotsa fun.

Arcana ClandestinaThat was really satisfying to take people out, the music stressed me out. lol Great work!

Trust Fall SummitNooo why did you betray me narrator :c
Nice job for this game, I really liked using the bomb (it might be a bit too op though, but I like it as it is)

Curse of the Number DungeonI dig the animations you’ve gotten into this game! I did, unfortunately have to choose between dodging or shooting because of how my keyboard works so for most parts I was very slow and died a lot. Great jam-feature though that death didn’t really mean much in the end. Else I would have gotten nowhere!
Though it is a big ask for a jam, I would recommend key-rebinds or controller support for any game that has more complex input schema than just WASD/Arrows because you never know what type of hardware or physical limitations people have.
The narrator / texts were nice to and added a lot to what otherwise was a very linear game.
Since I had kinda given up on playing the game proper before even starting I didn’t look too closely, but one mechanic that could have been good was if you regen life if not hit for a few seconds. But with free respawns I guess that would not have felt like a big difference unless there was a reward for not dying.
Play-through with more feedback:

Trust No One...Wow!! Thank you for the video review as well. It’s always nice getting to see how people play the game. I’m sorry about your keyboard set up! I didn’t even think about split keyboards - that definitely would have made things very hard. I had every intention of putting in key rebindings and controller support but sadly ran out of time. It would’ve made your experience much better and I’m already working on a post jam update.
I planned on having health pickups, and a lives system where killing enemies earned you lives but those features didn’t make it, hence the infinite respawns (which I think fits better for a jam because it lets players play to the end).
I also wanted to have 2 more attack types (another crowd control attack and an ultimate attack), 2-3 more enemy types (a tank and a caster, maybe a boss), and gold to purchase stat boosts/attacks but again ran out of time. Perhaps post jam I’ll keep working on it if the motivation is there… thanks again for playing and your feedback!
I really liked the combat mechanics, and I had a fun time destroying all the enemies room to room. Very fun game!
