How does your game fit the theme?
You are "diving deeper" into a pitch-black space ship full of Zombies. Just like any exploration, you are in a dark hostile environment and the only light sources that help you are your glowing bullets and your mouse cursor.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes,of course!

The bullet mechanic was pretty neat, I like this! Nice job!

Loved it! The art looks great and I liked the bullet mechanic!

Great innovative core gameplay, both the light and bouncing-friendly-fire-bullets mechanics are interesting. I didn't like the level design, it feels unnecessary long and monotone. But the core is good, well done.

thanks for playing and giving feedback! Much appreciated!

Great game!

The only strange thing I found was an invisible wall at the bottom of the level!

Developer

yeah, that was a last minute fix to prevent the player from moving out of the actual level. Great that you explored that area ;) thanks for playing

The visuals are pretty good and the audio is decent. But I feel like the bouncing bullet that you shot and still can kill you is an unfair mechanic. Just as Shrimp Moose mentioned in the comments section, the bullets themselves are more dangerous than the zombies, as they are very unthreatening

Developer

Fair point! Thanks for prodiving the feedback! 

Submitted

Interesting mechanic! However, currently, there is practically no point in shooting, since the bullets themselves are more dangerous than the zombies, which were really easily avoidable. With more developments,  like harder and more varied zombies, this could become a great game!

Developer

thanks! Much appreciated!

I beat it on my first try without killing a zombie or taking damage. That seems like a problem...

Maybe you got some secret moves :)

Voted! Good job =) big dark

Good game, but a bit dark. I want more brightness.

I liked the music and how it fits theme, I also had fun. Good job!

Really enjoyed your game! 5 star game and I'll play it again

The lighting and music are great!

Graphics look great, the player being a hazard to themselves is a cool feature and I like the idea! Only pieces of feedback I have is that when you are shooting multiple bullets, they should have bullet spread to separate them, and I think there should be more zombies. Other than those two things, great submission!

Submitted

I loved it. The lighting being set to the crosshair really made exploring the map tense and enjoyable. Great game.

Short and fun game, the bullet adding mechanic was fun.

I really like the design of the game. And also face-paced gameplay was very entertatining and smotth. Maybe the only problem was my bullets got too brighter after the 5th zombie but it may be an feature too idk. Also maybe adding what those bars mean could help :)
