I liked the mood.
There's a bug btw: when you die and you go back to the main menu and click continue, you're stuck in the level with no character, and can't exit.
Спасибо, мрачная и интересная игра ^_^
The only complaint I have is that from 3 types of weapons you gave to the character I used only the disk gun. Didn't see the point of using the enemy-avoiding missile and the machinegun seemed like a worse version of the disk gun.
But besides that, it was a fun game! Good job!
Well done!
Unfortunately due to time constraints even though we were nonstop working for three days we couldn't implement it so it would feel right.
Minor complaint about the graphics: the collectibles were a bit hard to distinguish from the furniture and other stuff lying around. Apart from that, good game!
Some remarks:
1. Game starts from Level 3, felt like game started from the third level instead of the first one. Expectation: game starts from Level 1/Floor 3.
2. Game continues when you have exactly 0% of health and 0% of armor. Expectation: character dies when you have 0% of health.
Nice entry!
Also, I like the exaggerated gore that juxtaposes the fact that you're just a cleaner. That adds a level of humour to the game.
Here are a few small things to improve (that you've probably already realised yourselves):
- The bodies sometimes get stuck in passageways; it feels a bit glitchy when you try to push them out of the way
- As previously mentioned, the disc gun was easily the best of the 3
