Wow you did an amazing job replicating that retro vibe of game, it's honestly really beautiful!
Feels really industrial - sells the whole experience.
The gameplay is fairly simplistic - but given it's a game jam, that's totally fair enough :)
Great entry, would love to see more games!

Hey there!

Played thru and I do love the mood and sticky atmosphere of the spaceship cargo. It's really feels gloomy and I think it's quite unusual for jam entries.

I like how the game looks & feels, even tho I'm not a big first-person games fan. There are a few pieces to improve (like for example the AI and level design), but it's never perfect in jams, as we all know :smile:

Overall I've enjoyed passing it through and like the entry. Great one!

Really enjoyed the PS1-era graphics and think you nailed the atmosphere here. Enjoyed the shooting mechanics, would have liked more integration of the theme (for example if the cargo took damage) but I had a lot of fun and I think you nailed what you set out to do.

Really loved the vibes here. I just wish there was a reload button, or no ammo at all.

Nice little old style game. The graphics worked really well, and I'm very impressed with your microphone recording ;) Ultimately I find the enemies to have a bit too much HP, and since your movability is quite limited, you can't really outrun them, nor can you manually reload. More weapons & enemy types will surely add some spice to this, as will some puzzles (i.e. opening a door to progress the delivery). Reminds me of Team Fortress 2 and the game mode where you had to protect a car - no idea if that's still around, was like 10 years go.

Well done!

Nice graphics, sound and mood. Theme is respected. I would have liked a way to reload my gun. Keyboard controls are only working with US layout. Also I wasn't sure i was hitting the drones, now I notice they sort of wiggle a little bit when you do hit them. Maybe make it a little more obvious.

Very atmospheric. The music really gave it that creepy vibe! I didnt really feel like I was protecting the cargo, as the enemies all went for me. It was a nice little experience

Very moody, reminiscent of retro FPS games. It could really benefit from a sensitivity slider since the mouselook seemed super sensitive on my mouse by default, but luckily I could turn down my DPI so it wasn't an issue. I really liked the idea you're going for, just wish there was a little more to it since it mainly just boiled down to running at the nearest enemy, unloading an entire magazine into them, and repeating for the next one until I had a clear path for the delivery. Some more enemy variety would be nice, as well as ramping the difficulty since making them all take so many bullets to kill meant I was forced to approach slowly the whole way through. That being said, the enemy design was cool (and clever that they hover so you don't have to animate them walking or anything :wink:). Also, not sure if it was just me, but it seemed to be capped to 30fps for me no matter what cvars I tried (sorry, can't help but muck around with settings when given the chance), not sure if that was intentional or a side effect of something else.

Great job with this game. The game has a fantastic atmosphere, with great sound design, music, and visuals. The unique and unusual atmosphere of the spaceship makes it stand out from other game jam entries. The shooting mechanics are enjoyable and add to the overall experience. Well done!

@guitarbro yes, its locked to 30fps to get a more retro feel :-D

:heart:This game is really retro, and the graphics and atmosphere are done very well! I love its style very much. I have a small suggestion that adding the element of cargo damage and automatic reloading function would make the game experience more immersive and convenient. Anyway, the development team has done a great job, and I look forward to seeing more updates and improvements!

@fragment-games It's very impressive that you were able to complete so much content all by yourself. Thank you for creating such a great experience for me.

Nice work. Great mood and graphics. I wanted a reload button and maybe to see health or some smoke or something to help show how much damage the enemies had taken. Also it was a bit hard to tell the gun's range. I would be cool if it had longer range and you could see the impacts on walls an stuff in the distance. Really nice job though, I played it a bunch.

The art, audio and mood were all great. I loved the atmosphere.

It would have been nice to see more gameplay. A more complex map, with less tanky enemies that could come from anywhere would have gone a long way to upping the tension.

Nice gloomy industrial atmosphere. Required some skill to beat this shooter. The graphics are nice and the sound design. The gameplay is a bit barebones and tough. Wish I could reload. Found myself unloading into the floor so I'd have another full clip when I rounded the next bend because you needed more than half to take down one drone. Also the cargo didn't really matter since it couldn't be endangered. That said, the game is a good jam entry. Took me three tries before I beat it.
