I think I won, reached max depth, it abruptly cut to victory screen? I had low hp so not sure if spider sneaked on me
This old-fashioned art style just impressed me so much!
Control, animation and gameplay are good too.
Thanks for your submission!
@fixxel Once you reach the max depth and kill all the spider, you win
@juju That is a cool idea, I may try it
@kp-cftsz good call, I'll look into adding some sort of configuration menu for the the next time
Also, I appreciate you building in esc-to-quit.
I liked the spider models, and the general atmosphere was good. Visual and audio feedback could work, when I was clicking I didn't see or hear anything that suggested I was shooting. The "gunshots" sounded like a failed UI event. Also, there was no feedback that anything was being hit until it just disappeared.
Last, I'd say maybe have in-game instructions, I only now noticed the oage says that B is to turn on/off lights.
This is a good start though.
I felt a bit dizzy after playing the game. Perhaps that has to do with the way you have set up the camera. The art style fits the game's style. It would be nice to have more sounds in your game. Overall, a decent try.
@chris15686989 thanks for playing
I've added a debug version of the post compo game. It sound like it's a game engine bug. If you can share your pc specs I may be able to help. Sorry it doesn't work as expected.
Maybe give the post compo version a try and if it also gets stuck, run the debug version and see if the console outputs something.
@variable-enigmatic updated with a post compo version to add more juice. thanks for playing
