Dead Girls In Space by Fenreliania
I'm tired, you're confused, and someone's probably offended.
Dead Girls In Space is an FPS made for the Ludum Dare Game Jam #33, with the theme "You are the Monster". I plan to expand upon it post-jam, but for now, it is a relatively simple FPS with some SHMUP elements, and a subtle story. Maybe you'll figure it out, maybe you won't bother, but it's their either way.
Instructions:
Don't die, you've already been there and it was boring, hence your ghostliness. So if dying again is off the table, what should you do? Well, I'll let you figure that one out, but getting off the ship might not be a bad idea. Shoot what shoots you, kill what hates you, and leave what holds you.
Controls:
WASD - Move
LMB - Shoot
E - Interact
Good luck, girl.

What could go wrong?
(looked forward to play this since I heard alot in chat about it)
But the game is a bit easy once you know the enemy's range. You can just stand there and shoot them and they won't shoot back.
Good job!
But otherwise it was really great game.
I finally gave up in trying to shoot and started to run and dodge. Now I want to make a game where player dodges bullets and runs around.
Good job!
Stuff that's good:
- Graphical style
- Moody lighting
- Exploration
Stuff that needs improvement:
- Controls
- Audio (or lack thereof)
- Mechanic
I did all endings, but sometimes i felt frustrated by strife not working when the player is colliding with a wall ; also a few knockback and hud elements could be added to understand what's happening, and coloring vilain's bullets with some other color too...
It has cool and original lights and visuals, and story seems interesting but could have been be explained a bit more :)
Good start for a compo entry !
Went for 2 different endings, one where I "resurrected" myself, destroyed the ship and left and one where I just escaped as a ghost. Maybe I should've also tried just blowing the ship up with me inside it...
