Cool game, but I think it needs more visual feedback. For instance, including some indication that an enemy is taking damage would make it easier for a new player to pick up the mechanics (different color cards hurting different colored enemies). It may also be beneficial to make health drain slower, or add in some invincibility frames, as it is currently very easy to die by having an enemy sneak up behind you. Lastly, I think that changing the aspect ratio and making the window taller could be extremely helpful. Currently, unless you are looking down, you can't actually see the cards you're throwing. At first I didn't realize how short the viewing window was, so when I didn't see the cards, I thought I had run out of ammo. Overall, I quite liked the game, though I think that a little more polish would make it more intuitive and engaging to play.

Haha oh boy - this is like the very first person shooter ever before polygons were a thing. Good job submitting and wishing you luck in future jams.

Nice game! I noticed a lot of improvements since your last 3D GameMaker game. The controls and attacking worked well, and I liked that you had to get a specific card to attack the matching enemy. I just wish there was a way to tell which card I was currently holding. Maybe there is a way to change the reticle to show the current card. I figured out that I needed to find the key and make my way back to where I started to unlock the exit. Maybe add a congratulations screen at the end once you escape. Keep up the good work!
