The controls are VERY unconventional but it works well. It's not my type of game so I won't judge the gameplay, but the art and ambience are well crafted. I think you forgot to loop the music (if you used Godot, it's in the music's import settings). Also I managed to get into a state where I could only move while aiming, check your logic. Also the cone of vision goes over the HUD, check the order of your nodes.

Interesting control scheme, sort of like silent hill except top down. The graphics and atmosphere are really nice -- you get a good bit of tension from the lighting system. Only thing is -- I didn't realize I was able to shoot at first, and was able to reach the end of the game without shooting any enemies. Not sure that's the intended way to play.

Solid entry. As many commenters before me, I didn't like the controls. I know you said you did it to make the player feel less control, but I think there should be an in-game reason for it (the character being disoriented, struck on the head, under the influence of some gas or something else). Without any obvious reason it is just perceived as a badly designed controls system. I liked the art and the ambience sound. Liked the feeling I had while carefully exploring the place, trying ot to get eaten, the tension of the unknown darkness ahead. Good job!

The pixel art and the concept are very good. Well done! : )

However, I'm not a fan of the tank-like control scheme in this game. I think it would work better with a traditional twin-stick shooter control scheme.
And here's my two cents: I suggest working more on the polish and "juice"  (AKA: impact, flash, indicators of damage, contact, actions, etc) next time.

Nice pixel art, needs a bit of feedback on the weapon, tracers or projectiles of some kind go a long way to getting more juice in. Nice use of vision cones for tension but the movement being relative to the camera is pretty weird and non standard, most top down games use global directions for each movement key which is a lot less disorientating most of the time.

Funny that our two projects have a lot in common but are totally different genres!

The pixel art is definitely a highlight for me, from the player character to the monsters and even the tileset. You've done a good job with the presentation in that regard. Also I like the idea of showing only what's in your cone of vision, that reminds me of Project Zomboid and I think it's a nice fit here too.

The art is really good!

I think the game would have benefitted from some amount of feedback when you hit an enemy. 

I think enemy pathfinding might be broken? They never really came towards me, and often spun in place really quickly.

I'm not personally a fan of the controls, it mostly just led to me only moving "forward" and aiming into the dark to make sure there wasn't an enemy.

A boss or a second enemy type would have gone a long way.

I think this is a really strong start! Sorry about the negative response you recieved, that's really uncalled for. 

Hi, thank you for the game! The idea of WASD changing their behavior was new to me. Quite mind-blowing, I liked it. Unfortunately, my lifespan was relatively short. It may make sense to have weaker enemies at the start so players can get deeper into the gameplay before facing the real challenge. But it could be the fact that I rarely play shooters. PS: I noticed a bug with aiming guides. A pair of them got stuck on the level for me.

Here is some aspect of your game you can improve:

• There is no clear connection to the jam theme.
• The controls are extremely confusing.
• The character often clips though walls.
• The character visually appears in front of or behind the walls while aren't.
• The enemies are too easy.
• The character weapon is too unbalanced.
• You can see the enemies through the dark making the flashlight useless.
• Enemies feel like bullet sponges.
• There is no character movement animation.
• Map design is confusing.
• There is no way of changing sound volume which made me deaf.
• There is no in game tutorial.
• There is a lack of visual feedback on enemy hits.

I tried to judge your game objectively unlike you did mine.

I really click with these controls, the deliberate. slow movement of the player character as well as movement relative to the look direction. I personally attempted something similar to your vision cone system in my own project though I believe yours came out quite clean, especially with the way shadows are rendered. The vision focusing when you aim is a nice touch as well.

A fine job, I could see a future version of this with more interesting variety and its action made a little more visceral and responsive really working out!

The pixel art is really really good! Took me a second to get the hang of the controls. It's like top down tank controls, but not in a bad way! Just a bit different then I'm used to. Shooting also feels nice - great game :)

Love the pixel art!
