Awesome game! Really nice graphics and great audio.

In terms of game design, there's only two things I wish it had. The first is more healing stations. And the second is limited ammo so the player is constantly being forced to switch between guns rather than race to find the best ones.

Thanks so much for playing! We're really going for a last minute clutch with the ratings here 😅. Technically each gun has 100,000 ammo and then you run out, because I was working on it and then ran out of time. I agree that would make the gameplay way more interesting and less... shotgun focused lol.

Very nice game! The game design is impressive for a game made in 1 week!

A big bravo.

It's difficult, we're not used to difficult games anymore, but once I've got the good old shotgun in my hand, I'll go on a rampage! :D

Thanks for playing

If we do a postjam, difficulty rebalancing will def be the first thing on the list

So glad you had fun :)

Fun. Is there a way to heal up that I missed?

Yeah there are medkits but we ran out of time to preperly implement them so they're really rare unfortunately

👽 Alien Invasion!! 👾

Things I enjoyed ✔️

This game is very well made! I love the end screen where it tells you the enemies you killed and rooms you found.
Gameplay was enjoyable! Gunplay was well polished!
Sprite work is phenomenal!

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe have some small health packs? Nothing giant, but like even 10+ health packs.
Maybe an upgrade system, where after a few floors you can upgrade your speed and max health? Just an idea.

Overall 📓

I had a very fun time playing your game, it is very well done! Great job on the polish! I have no clue how you made the game this fast, because its so very well made!

Thank you so much for the kind review! :)

The artist definitely did their job well.

You could actually turn this into a full immersive sim game, it feels like prey / system shock

The enemies definitely lack a moving around and death sound, that would add alot to the atmosphere.

Also the walking animation doesn't fit honestly, could be better.

Nonetheless had fun playing, which is what matters in the end

The art and level design were awesome, I love those little aliens. The enemies felt a little ruthless since they could shoot me before I could even see them, and I wish I could somehow heal mid-run.

Thanks for playing :)

There are actually 2(yes two lol) rooms with medkits out of all the possible rooms because we ran out of time haha. Its good to know that about the enemies. I hadnt noticed that problem while testing.
