Cool I liked it, but the mouse sensitivity needs to be adjusted, put the option to exit and remove the shadow of the player. Nostalgic Doom Nice!

Yooo! I like it a lot, really had a fun expérience. Love all the effort put in the sound, and found really cool juste to move a jump with the shotgun.

Well, i would love to say great work but why is the mouse sensitivity soo high?
It's unplayable. Music, visuals other controls are very nice but with the mouse like that i could not get very far. Fix the mouse and i think you've got yourself a great entry. Polishing time. :D

It played pretty much like the TINBENDO 64. The audio was a little too loud but the song was good.

@cedric86 The sensitivity can be adjusted in the main menu. Would have made a pause menu tho, given a little more time

Oooh I love this nostalgic feel, you nailed it! It feels speedy just like Doom. I would've really liked more bullets before having to reload : I know it's a double barrel, but I want to destroy hoards of enemies at a time D:, as well as a little explanation on how the game works. I figured it out eventually, but my first playthroughs I would just die on nothing and go "????"

Ah I wish there was a bit more polish and explanation for the game haha. Took me a while like the rest to figure out why I was losing. The mouse sensitivity can also be reduced I think xD but apart from that I think it captures the essence of Doom LOL. Great submission!

Fun game overall, definitely captured the vibes of a game like doom! It could use some sort of instructions though, I'd strongly consider adding the controls and an explanation of the mechanics to this page, if nothing else.

Fantastic game on all fronts (music, graphics, gameplay, etc.), just found the mouse to be waaaaayyy too sensitive - even on the lowest setting it was a little bit too fast for my tastes. Plus you have to go back to the main menu to change it... I've had some success with letting player control FPS sensitivity on the fly using the scroll wheel. Maybe that could be something to think of for any future updates?

@niterich Glad to hear! :)) Sorry about the sens. Def gonna include an in-game menu in future titles.

I see what you did there, nice pun. The movement decent even if I haven't played the "original". Music was of course great. The first thing that struck me that the reload had to be performed manually. Additionally, the shots didn't have much impact at all. Finally - it would be nice to know if the level has ended. I felt like I've completed it but there was no indication.
