Graphics were pretty nice, although when you're using the gun to attract, it (to me at least) looks like the beam is going away from the gun. Might be nice to see if look like it's pulling towards the player instead.

As far as sound effects, I recognize a lot of those from the original Half Life game, but they fit pretty well with the space theme overall.

Pretty fun game, but I died quite a lot heh

@rubixnoob13 Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it!
I was getting too used to the gun's fx by that point so it's such a great point! Cheers!
Yea but I only used one for the oxygen sfx cuz that's the only proper sound in my head. XDD

Thank you and I probably should tone down the damage per touch from the aliens. Perhaps they should come with at least some "approaching" sound?
