Well done on the game!
Vibes and aesthetics matched what you wanted to do with replicating that GTA2 feel; The menu and intro theme were a nice additions; Though a lack of an OST during gun gameplay was an immersion breaker for me.
Car driving was nice, fluid and responsive; I do hope to see more gameplay implementation with this, as driving around was fun, just there wasn't much to do. Also for prototyping, I do recommend adding in some invisible walls of some kind as a lot of the map was unfinished and empty, with buildings missing especially on the northern area.
Gunplay combat was nice, however, I would suggest taking in some notes from Hotline Miami, as while shooting at the direction I wanted was great and precise; Shooting at an enemy who is shooting at me and I can't see him due to the camera not able to pan towards them was frustrating. Also between floors, the enemies were respawning on load. I imagine that simply a save/load function wasn't implemented yet.
All in all I see a great foundation build to develop it further, looking forward to seeing more of this one!

Doraibu! (ドライブ!)That comment does put a smile on my face, i am thankfull to see someone really liked this project, and yes im thinking on continuing it, i think the sound glitched on the gun fights, cuz i ve did implement an audio inside all buildings, i will take a better look in Hotline Miamis fighting to see how i can improve Heartless's one, i hope ya like the next updates too! <3
Fun game! I wasn’t able to finish it though. Also, the music was super loud

Rockin' WalkmanIt's a pretty cool game! Excellent work with light and graphics. Despite the complexity of the game, it was interesting for me to play.

Carnavaler3DThe game is pretty cool, it does have the retro feeling, tho enemies are just always aware of you, which makes it kinda hard to progress further. overall, it is quite fun :)
