I've always wanted to shoot stick like gun! That was a nice little surprise and the final encounter was pretty cool. The enemies seemed to take a few too many hits to kill, and I think the same goes for the player. I died to the water hazard multiple times, but I was probably more comfortable than I should have been tanking bullets.

Nice job on the lighting effects. The forest was pleasant to explore as I smacked bad guys with my stick.

Hi, the graphics are beautiful, especially the bloom and lighting effects. I did not find it particularly fun to play, mainly because it's a little bit bland, but I think you can develop it further. Congrats for submitting it.

Haha nice! Looks like I'm the big winner :D I did at some point stop shooting bad guys as I thought they were just hindering my progress. Especially every time I die I restart the level. So instead I just ran around finding levers

Good job, could you add some screenshots at your game page? I think more people will play it.

Funny voiceover, great visuals. I couldn't go past chapter 2. I had found lever but couldn't find the place lever was supposed to go. After clearing enemies I was roaming around looking for that place but fell into water and well level reset with all those enemies again :| Also enemies were facing right at me always, that was quite unnatural if it was not intended. Other than that pretty great job making and finishing a 3d game in such short time.

@ansh-mishra sorry to hear it was hard to find the lever placement on the second level! it was to the left by the edge, ill try to make that more clear in the after jam build! Glad you enjoyed what you were able to play though!

Pretty fun game up until the platforming in 2nd level. I already read that there was suposed to be a lever of some sort but it was a little bit frustrating. All in all was a good game in general. Very brave choice to go 3D!

Easy to start playing. Nice graphics and lighting. From the second level onwards it started to get a bit boring. After I fell into the water twice I didn't bother to continue playing.

First of all, this is hilarious. You made me laugh out loud at numerous points, especially the initial cutscene and the sfx throughout, very funny. The gameplay was good too and an interesting mix of melee and shooting combat and exploration. I quit though in the second level after getting the lever, activating it but then just barely missing a platform a falling on my way to the door. And I didnt want to have to redo everything. But overall this was great!

I very much enjoy the sound effects, and I like the charging 3d art too!
