So I finally took time to play this game and it is a gem! I really like the multiple weapons, the story and the battles and you can really feel that this game was put thought into. The ending is really important in my opinion (behold my view now:) and even though some will say "huh doesn't make sense to me" or will just find arguments to say that it doesn't fit (some times even that it is bad) well but those people don't understand to interpret stuff to themselves and are very straight forward/are not open minded/don't know how to deal with other opinions. To bring it to the point I think that your game touches on the problem "revenge" well and even though it is arguably not perfect (on top of time constraints), it truly touches on something, which is the most important (nice music by the way).
Else I like that you try to make interesting even without making the enemys move! For example you put them on top of higher trees/bushes. Nice minimalistic game design! And yeah, all around an amazing game.
Some optional suggestions!:
- pls make the final attack more rewarding! Make it like in doom eternal where you get at least some amo + lifes for playing more aggresive! This alone would make the game way more engaging.(You could also make them ragdoll and hit other enemys on their way)
- the weapons you unlock relativizes too much the last weapon in my opinion. My take: make the movement speed decrease! It means that the better the weapon is, the easier it is to get damage.
- glitch: you fall slower if u touch walls
- 2 more enemys <3 (f.e.: a short range one which can move)

Say something about your game if you wanna! :D
Our game is inspired by DOOM and John Wick. We wanted to reverse the roles of the John Wick movie.

Im glad you enjoyed it! Alot of people have been giving same sort of feedback, so we are gonna roll out a patch to fix all your concerns
That is very insightful! It becomes a topic of morals, as Revenge is not usually considered the right course of action in many cases. However the story shows how tragedy and love can cause a person to do things they never imagined, or would not dare to do otherwise. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience. Thank you for playing :)
Thank you alot! we honestly planned on having another enemy and one more boss move, i animated it and such but we were in such a rush at the end we dident make it all. Regardless thanks for playing!
I agree, jam’s time is so limited, so you have to give up some details…but these animations you already made are impressive. The control is friendly to me(because my skill is pretty bad haha). And the intro story is lovely and made me really want to revenge! Keep it up after jam if you can. You guys did a great job!!
Hello there! Im the artist Tiny, ill tell Arjun to see if its possible, ill update ya :)
Hi, I uploaded the Linux build here on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HfKJ_qjCqy02ZYhLIH9pTeXwwbbwt5Oi/view?usp=shari...
I don't have Linux so I cant test if its working alright, please let me know!
The game probably needs a mouse sensitivity option, when you look up, you can see the cropped hand of the cat, maybe make it longer?
The Mafia Gang text bothers me, maybe there's a nicer way to indicate the player where to go?
If you stick to a building and spam space, you gain a lot of speed, and i mean a lot, you are sent flying and can see the whole map.
There are some buildings that are levitating.
There aren't any invisible walls to prevent the player from getting out of the map, so you can go and fall forever since your position doesn't get reset after falling to the void.
Good thing is that if you go to the tutorial you don't lose progress.
Also, i noticed that the raining effect disappears when you are in a high place.
Since there isn't a stamina bar it would be cool to have an always running option.
I think you should make the guns vibrate a little to make the player feel the force of the shooting.
The boss can get stuck in trees, making the fight easy, also if you touch the red lights inside the zones your view will get all red.
Overall a pretty nice and enjoyable game despite its flaws.
Hey, thanks a lot for playing and finding so many bugs! A lot of them we knew already were there but hoped the player will focus on the gameplay and not break it lol. There is mouse sensitivity option in the menu! Yea the cats hands I just forgot about that. For the mafia text, I think I should have used some icon instead of plain text to look better. The jump mechanic, I completely forgot, its an age old mistake. I was supposed to make a collider below the feet of the player but I put the script to use the cat's main collider instead, hence infinite jumps. The levitating buildings was mainly due to the ground of the map not being even, and we didnt want to use the default asset buildings, so we didnt really have the time to fix that. Oh yeah I should have added a reset code for falling to void, but then again I was hoping most people would focus on playing the game. And yeah guns didnt really have much animation apart from the muzzle, should have added some vibration. Boss getting stuck on a tree lmao, I missed that bug.
Thanks so much for playing our game, I'm really surprised someone would go through the effort to find all the possible bugs, and that is extremely helpful to improve our game and make it more polished. Once the jam ends, I will upload the new version which addresses all these bugs. Once again thank you :)
Thanks a lot! We were having a lot of issues with the webgl version actually, but time ran out. We will upload the webgl version once the jam is over. Again thanks for playing :)
