The Murderdome by RyanNielson
Folks from across the Wastelands come to witness fools like yourself attempt to find fame, fortune, and glory in the Murderdome. Challengers face off against each other in the most violent of modern day bloodsports. Each room of the Murderdome is equipped with gun wielding psychopaths, searing campfires, and explosives. You will need to move fast between rooms, otherwise your life will be claimed by the arena. Prepare yourself challenger, and come see what awaits when you... ENTER THE MURDERDOME.
How to Play
Clear the room of enemies and move through the gate before the time expires and the room explodes. The only goal is to try to get as far as you can, there's no end to the madness!
Move using the WASD keys, aim using the mouse, and shoot by holding the left mouse button.
Notes
- There currently seems to be an issue with the input handling in Unity. If you hold the movement keys or mouse button when entering a room they are non-responsive. To fix this just release the movement keys and mouse button temporarily.
- The game doesn't end, it's all about getting as far as you can.
- This game is called Enter the Murderdome, but I had to name the submission The Murderdome so the whole title fit in the listing.
Changelog:
- 1.0.1: Fixed issue with cursor not showing up. Fixed issue causing return to main menu mid game.
- 1.0.0: First release

The controls are fluid, graphics are cool and the sound is great!
I would appreciate a quiet moment before everybody starts shooting right after I enter the room, so I know where I am, etc.
More versatile enemy AIs?
I loved the music at the beginning :)
I'm not good at this kind of game. Only got level 8 :(

About the key/mouse problem for new rooms, I suspect the problem has to do with the GUI system, since it happens after you click the mouse on buttons.
I think you could improve on the graphics and balancing (for the next LD).
Hope to see more from you!
Very well polished. Maybe a sprite for the doors because i didnt know actually if it in the middle or all the top screen.
Graphics were good and the gameplay was simplistic but effective, nice feedback on hitting and being hit. I felt it being a bit too fast-paced, but that might be me.
Anyway, is a pretty good entry! congrats! :D
Reminded me heaps of Nuclear Throne, which surely isn't a bad thing in my books!
Got to level 10 after a couple of tries and it felt great.
I have one complaint though, and it is that the spawns can be a bit unforgiving, sometimes enemies spawn really close to your character and there's nowhere to run nor time to kill them before you get hit.
Good work!
Impressive gameplay which is still playable on a laptop.
My only suggestions would be that maybe after you kill all the enemies you make a flashing arrow towards the door because I sat there my first round playing waiting for more enemies to spawn or something.
Second suggestion would be give some red overlay or edge and maybe screen shake when you get hit, it's a little hard to here the "you've been hit" SFX over all the firing and madness and I don't have time to glance up and see my health bar as I'm frantically shooting
Other than those minor things, you have a very polished and fun game, great job!

Love the music and how the title pretty much says it all ;) Fun!
More than that this is the exact sort of game that I would expect from the title. The music and graphics just build on top of the mood brought about by the title.
For me it reminds me of the 1970's movie that are about dytopian bloodsports.
