Difficult, can't get past 2nd level. I think player should have some advantage, either with jump height or movement speed?

I didn't figure out how to get a gun and pretty sure some of the zombies was faster then me :( Failed to pass floor 2 (hell failed to explore the right side of the tutorial room).

@freamdev I've added some of the most important controls in the game description, thanks for the feedback

@squeg-inc figured out the problem. I'm playing from my work laptop and if I don't maximize the game I can't see the inventory/ammo so I had no idea you can press 1-5 to equip the gun and other things, and without those boy it was difficult to do anything :)

like that. if going fast, it's really hard.

Very nice! Smooth gameplay, looks nice, and suits the theme really well. Very difficult though, couldn't get past level 2, but to me that makes it that much more fun. Apart from a few minor hiccups (like respawn sometimes taking me back to the beginning and sometimes taking me to the beginning of the current level), it feels very good.

@chyrion Thanks for the feedback! In retrospect, I may have made the game a bit too difficult haha, but I agree part of the appeal of the game is probably how hard it is. The respawn taking you back to the beginning of the level happens when you pick up a revive from a crate (upside-down cross thingy) but I didn't communicate that to the player at all, damn you time constraints!

Game is rather challenging, got to floor 4 at most. The consumables are helpful (pizza really helps against laser dude) but using them is kinda hard to manage when the game is so fast paced. Movement and shooting feel good. Great work.

So satisfying to hear that attack/gun-fire sound... Really nicely polished.

I'm just going to say that floor 6 will haunt my dreams, but I was ended for good on the bats floor. This is the kind of game that screenshots alone do not do justice, have to play it to fully appreciate the slick neon aesthetic. Great game!

great game, I really like the graphic. The game is really challenging though. I should have read the comment before hand because I spent 5 games without the hud so I didn't really know that I had other items.

A single hit death is really punishing for this type of game. However, overall it is still a fun experience. only managed to get to floor 4 after 10 minutes.

Nice game! The shooting felt good and the visuals and lighting was implemented very well.

Too bad respawn does not work on current floor.

The game has good graphics, good sfx and great gameplay !
Died at level 3 by the laser guy, really hard this one haha
Anyway good job, liked the atmosphere and the fact that you can't stay long in each level due to radiation !

I like the graphics, especially the neon glowing, and the sound effects. The gameplay works well but I find the game quite hard.

Wow.. I love it.. Did get a shock on level 3 when I got blasted in the face (breeedd peww!), and the sound effects.. Perfect.
It's just a tiny bit hard.
The graphics and controls are also spot on. Great job :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

This was fun but hard for someone with slow reflexes like me haha. I like and dislike the fact you have to work for the respawn in equal parts. evil :smiley:

Nice idea, great execution! :radioactive:

I enjoyed the challenge, awesome work!

My feedback:
- Clean controls
- Good artstyle, atmosphere
- Flawless gameplay clarity (easy to separate monsters / crates / obstacles
- Satisfying to kill enemies and complete levels
- Great variety of items and enemy types

If you like constructive ideas, some things to improve on:
- Some sort of a UI element or ingame Menu to tell me what the items are for (this info is only available outside the game)
- maybe adjust the difficulty curve a bit, as the third level ramps up to be difficult pretty quickly

Other then that, I enjoyed the ride, great job! :v:
