Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament feeling, it reminds me of that, super cool, and I think it deserves way more than just 5 ratings, I really like it! I rated it too. If you'd like, check out mine as well. Thanks, have a great day! :)

Such an intense game, really well done, I really like the ambient and how the action is continuous, I rate graphics on top but all is nice, if you can, please rate my game, thanks!!

I am a fan of "Boomer Shooters" so I was very excited to find this game and try it out as you've labeled it "A PS1/Doom-like game".

Loading into first level I was tasked to blast a cry baby which awakens this spiral city reminiscent of the labyrinth found in Junji Ito's Spiral Horror Manga Uzamaki. I was hooked! With the rocking music and dark environment I was ready to slay some demons. I found though that I was mainly doing walking rather than finding and slaying the 10 demons I was tasked to slay. Perhaps if the spiral maze was smaller or there were more enemies closer together I would've enjoyed the game more. Additionally I kept glitching through the walls of the spiral maze and kept getting confused on my location because of that.

Overall I like the premise of getting through the maze to get to the center, I just wish the game was a bit more compact or perhaps there were checkpoints.

Had fun with this one!

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your feedback, and I fully agree with what you said. I’ll definitely look into making the maze more compact and fixing the wall glitches to improve the experience. Also, great job catching the Uzumaki reference! I’m glad you enjoyed the atmosphere. Thanks for playing!
