I had issues with the web player version but the exe worked fine. Well done dude, you did it. It's fun, it works. The audio is great. My only criticisms is that I didn't know for awhile I could open the top door at the start. No biggy, and I also didn't know what the items were that I collected that went to the top right of the screen? But otherwise yeah it was great!

I had a hard time understanding the GUI, but I gues I managed to figure out at the end.
I love the sound and the behavior of the enemys

Really cool shooter game! The background music is so good. It's also insane that there is shadow effects casted by the light. I think there's room for more innovation in the gameplay, e.g. the combination of different tools. Overall, it's great!

@tamara188 When you get close to the white beam looking thing connecting to the corridor, hitting the space bar will open it. That's the same with all of those kinds of doors, but the red, green, yellow, blue ones require collecting a key first to unlock them.

Cool game! There seemed to be an issue the first time when I tried to open doors, but maybe I didn't hold space bar long enough?
I really like the shadow effect! Was that the built in light that Godot offers, or done in a custom way? (would have been a cool effect in my game haha)

@thinkwithgames Yep, this was just the built in lighting and light-occluding that Godot offers. I just checked your game out, and yeah, It would've been a nice effect for your game :)

Nice little top down shooter! Great job on the audio and I like the door mechanic. It was a little glitchy on firefox(still worked pretty well though). But you said to play it in chrome in the description. Well done!

The shooting and enemies in the game turned out to be interesting. The game broke for me on the 3rd level when I tried to pause it - in the end, there was a black screen with a yellow stripe in the top right corner.

I liked the sound effects, and the idea with the light sources as well - it adds depth. One thing that confused me - there are blocks with a cross on the levels, and they can be the same color as other blocks on the location, so you don't immediately realize that they are impassable obstacles. I didn't understand what the second summoned ability does, and is there any way to close the portals with enemies?
Otherwise, everything is good.

Good luck!

Nice! Polished and fun - I like it. The doors could be faster though - also nice if they stayed open after you'd opened them once. Overall a very solid jam game.

The game is a blast to play, challenging enemies. I got to level 2.

This felt a lot like a lot of the early sega game i played as a kid. Very nice. Was unclear as to what some of the abilites did however. I also had issues with some of the coloured dot pickups, but couldnt work out if that was a game mechanic or not as i later could. Music was nice and old school too. Lots of fun.
