However mobs spawn around you in some places left me no chance of survival - couldn't even react. Maybe highlight the spawn position and delay it for a few moment? :slight_smile:
It was also quite challenging, and although I feel it might... just need a checkpoint, I won't force it on you.
Music was also good, nice job!
The gameplay is very interesting too, managing health and ammunition at the same time by killing people, it's a very interesting thing. It could have been exploited in more way, and the whole shooting part of the game is maybe too simple ? But anyway I had a lot of fun playing your game, good job !
- Pixel art was fantastic. Good job.
- I liked the cut scene at the beginning. It setup the mood for me so I know what is going on without reading your description.
- There was a bug where for some reason I got stuck on the wall and couldn't get away from it. Happened a few times - eventually was able to move out by moving a bit in every direction.
- I really like that you have high movement speed for your character. You really don't wanna spend 10 seconds walking if you can spend a couple when you are doing a review and want to get to the juicy part.
- Nice camera shake and juiciness!
- A bit too difficult maybe, but this is taking into account its a jam - you want people to finish your game and see most of the content.
- Great music.
Just need to have a wall above you, and use the knife on a mob ...
Great job, good visual, good music, stressful
Good work overall rhis games worths 5 starts for me, every detail of the camera, etc. was well accomplished
