What do you like about your game?
The thing I like most is using inspiration from the theme to take a look at a lot of different gameplay tropes we're so used to and going against that in a different way, it really gives the game it's own distinct style and identity, and I like that.

Fun aesthetic, great soundtrack. Levels were designed well, open but not confusing, gives the impression that speed runners could have a great time with this one.

SHAHARAZON

I have an endless amount of nostalgia for so-called 'Boomer Shooters', so Shaharazon simply does not disappoint. The iteration on the formula by the sake of timing grenades perfectly (which really feeds into speedrunning, a sense of timing is so cathartic.), Is honestly a breath of fresh air. Every time I managed to perfectly lob a grenade by way of the enemies just for it to explode in precise fashion whilst I ran through the explosion to grab a key on my way to the door in one fluid motion was simply exhilarating.

And that's to say nothing of the music! Simply and catchy is exactly what the doctor ordered, and I really feel like I could find myself humming the first level's theme just as I would Doom's.

With all that praise put, unfortunately my machine is an aging one with very low specs. Level the Second, and Level the Third all suffered very low FPS on my end. Despite that, I played them to completion and still very much enjoyed them, honestly the lower performance during those gave it a kind of charm in of itself.

Simply put, I loved Shaharzon. I loved it enough that I spent the last hour speedrunning Level the First. I realize this is not some masterful runtime, but hey I'm under par at least by 23.90! Due to the way damage boosting works, I can foresee MASSIVELY lowering this time with all the potential skips. So how about it? Anyone want to beat my time? Reply to this comment with your own times and let's lower this as far as we can get it!
