Really cool game!
The graphics and 3D models are nice and I love the pixel filter.

It got boring after a while though as it felt like it wasn't getting any harder.

Other than that solid little expereince.

It felt a little unintuitive that manually clicking to fire was slower than just holding it down, but otherwise tackling the increasing horde of slime as the RAM meter grew slimyer was good fun!

I enjoyed myself playing this. The shots only hitting what the laser aims at, even if they seem to visually go somewhere else threw me off a bit, but otherwise it felt really cool to play.

Had a blast trying to survive the slime onslaught! like others mentioned the only gripe I had was that the laser is exactly where you had to shoot so the visuals threw me off, but that's only a tiny thing, everything else Graphics and the use of the theme were great! Nice work!

The artstyle is great! It looks like a FF7 on the PS1. I think this is the first Game this Gamejam I played that wasn't made with unity lol.

I think the music is okay, but neither did you make it yourself (which you don't have to) nor does it fit into the game, imo.

One round was enough for me, because there is literally nothing else to do regarding strategy than making as many perfect shots as possible.

The movement and camera controls fleshed out this one mechanic a bit though, that is cool!

Great game! Really loved the graphics, and while it took a bit to get used to, I liked how unique the controls were. I did find that by the time I could get close to getting the automatic weapons thing, there were so many slimes that I had to constantly spend credits on rebuilding walls, so I couldn't get the chance to use it (then again, this may just be because I'm not very good at the game). But overall, I liked your game. Well done!

I like all the graphics! It is interesting to play but. Unfortunately, I can't by auto turret whatever I did :slight_frown:. But it was funny tries.
Keep up the good work!

The 3D pixelated graphics are great, but the auto turret seems unaffordable.

Great game! the pixelation adds a certain special flavor to the game that is great. I made it to 65000 credits

Enjoyed playing this. Is there an option to go into first person like in the screenshot?

Got a hang of the controls fairly quickly, although I agree with @ty-victorson as I too had some difficulty with getting the turret to aim exactly where I wanted.

Great job :)

@asize7shoe to go into first person, press E :) The instructions for the game are in the text box on the right hand side of the screen, it changes every few seconds :v:

The Auto-turrets are supposed to be a difficult goal to achieve, as you're essentially delaying the inevitable of the slimes breaking through the walls and by the time you get to the turrets it's too late for them to save you ;)

didnt realise you can move at first but the game is fun kinda hard to aim the gun and it seams like you have to have the lazer spot on the slime to be acurate not teh bullet going trough the slime, the rpm of the gun feels low but otherwise i had fun playing it

Nice game, auto turrets are definitely achievable with the first person view.
