This idea has a lot of potential, a great take on the theme and would make for an amazing horror game if you ever consider taking this further.

Legolula, thanks for feedback!

I reached the 25th floor easily :slight_smile:

Scary spiders!

Love the gameplay. Feels like I'm in the shooting range. Maybe the changeover time can be shorter. Levels are easy but very addictive to play!

5 out of 5 for all ratings!
This has simple and interesting gameplay for perfect LD54 entry.

Fun game! I love the spooky atmosphere and your choice of music/sfx is phenomenal. I hope you add more to this one in a post-jam version. I bet you could do a lot of frantic and heart-pounding scenarios where spiders are coming coming through the ceiling vent, blocking the door from closing, chasing you through the floors of the building as you dash back to the safety of the elevator, etc. Great job on a very successful jam!

Thank you so much for your feedback and suggestions. I'm glad you liked this game!

Another lesson in the simplicity and effectiveness of the theme. Powerful sound and good graphics. If the weapon's direction moved the weapon's angle in the direction of the mouse arrow, that would be great. The mouse arrow would not need to appear, it would be more realistic. After a while, that's all it is, but it has a lot of potential. It's incredible that it could be a game completely focused on this, the player standing inside the elevator and more and more different creatures coming, each floor would be worse or not. It would be cool to be able to walk in the elevator, press the buttons and choose the floors, the sound of the elevator going up and down, the sound of people screaming through the floors, bodies on the floor everywhere on the floors. Or not, just the bodies because everyone has already died and only you are left because he was trapped in the elevator that stopped working but the power came back on? I'm traveling here lol...

Lincolnsalles, thank you for your feedback and cool suggestions!

I like the sound effects, the eerie music in the background and the simple but powerful graphics. Together, they create a great atmosphere.

The game is nicely polished. I like the animations, very smooth.

I didn't have any trouble getting to the 25th floor, the game is very easy and after a few levels, it started to get repetitive. I would have liked more variety of the environments, more spiders (maybe also some different creatures) and slightly harder gameplay.

Overall, though, very nice work!

mvasko2, thanks for your feedback!

Nice, like a classic arcade game, just missing the big plastic fake gun! Great concept for a jam game and the spiders were sufficiently creepy! I also liked the floor number being 'in world' as a nice touch.

Funny arcade, have a good potential as a simple timekiller game. I noticed one thing, shotgun shoot on click on screen, not spiders only, so I spam shots in elevator, and in 25th floor, and easily completed the game.

@prakkus, @dk-game-labs, thank you for playing my game and giving your feedback!

The mood is perfect!

I hope you will participate to the next LD events, I can't wait to play your next game!

@ace17, thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game :-)

I love the spooky, tense atmosphere there, and the music you chose are great. I wish there were more monsters on upstairs! The aiming judgement seems a bit big, could be narrowed down a bit and a collimator added. The wait time between floors seems a little long. Just saw playersabove think the game is too easy to pass. May be provides a smaller collimator judgment will make the game more difficult.

@tao-yuanyue, thanks for your valuable feedback!

Very good entry mood-wise, the claustrophobic vibe together with spiders is a pretty good recipe to give someone the creeps. Luckily I blasted them all away. Well done!

Loved the creepy atmosphere. I wish spiders crawled from different angles as right now you can pretty much repeatedly shoot to the left and right side to clear every floor.

Made it to the 25th Floor :)

@hare-software, @empyreans, thank you very much for your feedback!

It's a pretty interesting game, I liked it.)

Very fun entry. I liked that you went minimalistic with the UI, it really added to the uneasiness of the game. Also a very nice touch with the *slightly* different shooting sound when hitting a spider. It added a really needed feedback for the dark hard to see corridor.

@kazuma, @edgeboyo, thank you for playing my game and giving feedback!

I don't really know if this was a deliberate choice, but I really like how the game ties in with the theme by putting you in a small claustrophobic space!

The atmosphere is really solid as well as the graphics! the sound design and the music are also very good. You managed to pull off the horror pretty well!

However, I found the game to be very easy, I didn't really feel like there was a any kind of raise in difficulty, it just kinda stayed at the same level though the whole thing. It would really help if there was more variety in the enemies, maybe they could offer different patterns and ways to tackle them.

there can be potential for a fun little arcade game if this would be expanded upon!

@tetracold, thank you for taking the time to play my game. And thank you so much for your really valuable feedback!

Spam click the back two corners of the hallway EZ PZ lol I didn't realize the game was bugged on this page so I kept dying over and over until I looked down, saw the description, and tried the itchio link. Music was fitting for the dark/creepy atmosphere. Great job!

If horror games have taught me anything, it's to never trust elevators and by god were they right. Really solid game, great take on limited space

@trevormccauley, @saralizzieb, thanks for your cool comments!

nice horror game, you have a potential, keep up the good work

@dan-str, thanks for your feedback :)

Well done. Easy character control. A simple and clear goal in the game. I like. It will be great if a kill counter appears. And there is no tension at all from the impending spiders. Both on the first and on the last floor, their number and speed do not change.

@fatemperor, thank you for sharing your impressions of my game

Great spooky atmosphere. Having a reload option may have been a small addition to add a little difficulty but I understand the time crunch XD Great work.

Neat little game, gets very repetitive. I can spam into the darkness and hit spiders 9 times out of 10.

@cam-moore, @cdunham, thanks for your feedback!

Cool entry! Good atmosphere, solid game mechanics, great music!

Great game! My only suggestions would be:
Make the spiders move faster and maybe a bit erratic - this would make the game more difficult and easier to miss.
Change the lighting to be a bit darker - you could see the spiders so far away that they were dead LONG before they ever threatened me.
Possibly on every level make the spiders faster and the hall darker - this gives us a scarier effect the higher we get.
Could add possible gun jams - this forces the player to take car of the spiders as soon as possible never knowing when the gun might jam.
I think with some changes to make it more challenging and adding points and effects/polish, this could be a great endless runner type game.
Great job!

I hate spiders..

Thanks for your feedback :)

@draekdude, special thanks to you for your valuable advice!

Great job, making a phone game in this short amount of time no matter how simple. you should be proud :D

Neat entry, always good fun to shoot some spiders!

Simple yet satisfying - was great to just be able to shoot some spiders and that was extremely calming. The music really added to the atmosphere and I really liked the bullet casing sound effect after every shot.

Thanks a lot for your feedback :thumbsup:

Love the music and the slightly spooky vibe!
Maybe you could give it an increasing difficulty, like adding more spiders or make it move faster? For now I think it's a little bit repetitive as the elevator goes higher.

Nice job! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the tension it created! I was kind of tense half expecting a jump-scare by floor 19 haha. I have to agree with others on the difficulty tho. I feel the spiders could move faster the closer to the end the player is. Their movement patterns could be a little more varied too. Keep it up!

@octahedron, @redoxeide, Thank your very much for your feedback! :wink:

Cool concept! I like the tower defence-esc idea of sitting in one place and having to defend yourself against enemies. I wish there more enemies and more weapons, that would make the game even better. Nice job!

Nice concept with a creepy mood, I really liked it! Although I reached the 25th easily, maybe there should be more and faster spiders at each floor. Still, really good job!

Really good use of the theme! The creepy mood is great. Not sure what the poor spiders did :( Audio sounds great, maybe a couple of different clips and pitch shifts to vary them would've been good as you kept hearing the same few clips a lot. The graphics are simple but effective and the colours again really add to the atmosphere. Core gameplay was good but it was a bit easy, difficulty didn't seem to increase with each level? Could've definitely added more or faster spiders later on. But it was nice and simple, really well done!

Nice job making a creepy atmosphere! Given more time, I think adding a settings for removing or lessening the gunshot flash would make it more viewer friendly, especially for live streaming the game. I also really wanted the elevator button lights on the left side to go out from bottom to top to show how far up I got up the elevator, for extra user feedback. The ending sound effect is a nice touch too, and the built-in retry.

I loved the mood of your game, the music fits perfectly!

I wish the game was a bit more difficult, I expected everything to get a bit crazier in higher levels, like spiders crawling on the walls and coming from all directions. It might be interesting to have only 2 ammo, and having to reload, as missing one shot could really add some scary vibe!

Good job!

@bluedandelion, @lastuck, @ava-skoog, @nbumgardner, @rolly, thanks a lot for your valuable feedback :smirk_cat:

Fun, good atmosphere. Unfortunately there's currently not much variety between levels.
