Throwing the weapons is awesome and the way they absolutely fling the enemies across the room is hilarious. The emotes are funny too - never seen those in a jam game before.\n\nThe gameplay has a fun, fast pace that I like. Finding new weapons encourages moving around the space and weaving around enemies. I found myself using melee attacks a lot more than throwing, though, which is a shame because I like the dynamism throwing mechanic. Throwing is tricky to aim and immediately discards your weapon, and since most enemies die in a couple melee hits anyway I found myself defaulting to that.\n\nI agree with others that the camera was a bit too sensitive. On top of that, Unreal game jam games never run well on my laptop and by default have a lot of motion blur, which added to the disorienting feeling. I know the lag isn't your fault, but some camera tweaks could help this out a lot.\n\nGood work overall!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1153497,"author_name":"oeueGHa","author_uid":"oeuegha","epoch":1744876738,"text":"Funny, but i'd like to put weapons without turning down camera so strong and it'd cool if u could to kill several enemies my throwing a weapon.
