It's a good game, but it definitely could use some polishing. It's very easy to walk into a horde of enemies because the player can't see too far in front of them, and the lack of checkpoints makes it hard to keep playing. The environment around the player should look a bit more natural, because right now there's a lot of buildings crammed together with some spaces in between. The feedback in this game is great though, I like particles and sound effects. Good work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback!
we didn't have much time for polishing and balancing since our game was kinda rushed lol.
the buildings are very near together to prevent the player going out of bounds.

To be honest, I really enjoyed the game. It's simple, yet satisfying (well, for me at least). I felt like the player move speed would need some tweaking, cause it felt like I was some kind of sprinter at the age of 90. :D Ah, if my left mouse button breaks, it's your fault!

Developer

im glad you enjoyed it
our game was kinda rushed so we didnt have much time for balancing
Thanks for the feedback!

The game was good. but i would limit the fire rate of the player. Other than that it's quite satisfactory with the shooting effects and feels quite responsive. Keep working on it!

Developer

Thanks!

Simple and sweet enjoyable game! Few things that can enhance and improve the game:

1. tutorial: I couldn't shoot the guy (his life wasn't going down)

2. tutorial: it said right mouse button to shoot but I was shooting with LMB

3. tutorial: the text was a bit cut off at the top

4. main game, I die too fast because the character moves too close to the edge of the screen and I run head first into the enemy when they come in view

5. if the mouse is on top of the character, he goes crazy hahaha

The good:

1. The graphics and audio were nicely done!

2. It was fun overall

Good job and congrats on the jam! We'd appreciate if you could try out our game as well, leave a comment and rate :D Any feedback is really appreciated!

Developer

Thanks You SOOOOO Much!

2. Misspelling

and the other stuff, were kinda expectable cuz we couldn't really play test

and I check out everyone who comments here's games, so it's a no-brainer!

Submitted

Things I liked, honestly you have a large amount of player feedback in this game which is awesome! The sound effects are nice and the characters face even lights up when he shoots. All very nice touches. The actual shooting experience is very fluid and I liked how most of it went with exploring the map.

Things I didn't like, the player character would always end up at the end of the screen while they progressed resulting in running face first into an enemy a lot of the time. In addition to that there wasn't any real way to regain health or do anything about the fact that people had corrupted your thoughts or anything so it felt a bit of a stretch making any long term progress towards the end of the game.

Overall though I had a lot of fun playing the game and y'all should be very proud of how the game ended up! Hope you all keep making games in the future!

Thanks Man, I just woke up, and yours' and your friend's game are the next games I will play, I'll be doing another 30 minute playing thing in a bit, so if you have any other games, or people's games you would like me to rate, Go For It!

Submitted

Very simple and enjoyable game, I have lots of question as to why I'm going around town shooting people up though XD.  As for feedback, the levels are a bit too big and the health is unforgiving, especially when the camera lags behind the suddenly your spawned by enemies.  Other than that, really cool game!

Developer

Thx for the feedback! for the thing with going around town shooting people we thought that the enemies would be trying to convince the player to stay in the present day.
we even added speech bubbles to indicate that the enemies are talking
(the speech bubbles were not in the final version of the game because of a bug)

Submitted

Really enjoyed it, you included even the little things like bullet particle effects, well done : )

Developer

Thanks for aprechiating the bullet particle effects lol!

Submitted

The game was super fun and cool

Developer(+1)

Thanks! glad you liked it!

Nice work I like the design , the music also fits well. For first I died quickly but then I got the feel of it and it went nicely. I went between two blocks somewhere on the map accidentally and then got stucked so watch out for those! Anyway nice job! :)

Developer

Thanks for playing it! I added the buildings in like the last half hour of the jam so we didnt have much time to iron out issues like that lol.

Submitted

Loved the game, the design of the game was really interesting ! When mouse came to the player he tended to freak out haha which was really funny to watch. Overall a fun game to kill time with, hope to see this become a mobile game id definitely download and relax on road. One suggestion I would have is to spawn your enemies outside of the players field of vision and have random spawnpoints for them so they dont spawn at a single location. Overall greatly done and got a good music as well. 

Developer(+1)

Thx for the Feedback! we didn't have much time to polish and fix bugs because we were overscoping a lot, but im glad you still liked it!

Submitted

Cool twist on the theme, wish we all had that kind of ability XD, good job!

Developer

I'm glad you liked our concept on the theme!

Really cool game, though there were few things that could be improved when it comes to game desing, i would recommend making player shoot from middle of his body, because atm he shoots with a bit of offset to place where you aim, also the enemy spawning was a bit weird, and annoying, you could add a cooldown to shooting (you can cheat with autoclicker), and make some kind of tradeoff to it, for example when you shoot you move slower, it would add more depth into combat, unfortunatly due to a bug i couldn't progress past first half of the game

Developer(+1)

We will take everything into consideration, huge thanks man, the half thing is extremely annoying, but it's a jam i guess. i'll check your game out in a bit!

Submitted

"Sir put down your gun, no one is trying to hurt you"

"NO YOU WILL NOT TAKE ME ALIVE YOU REPTILIAN 5G-MIND CONTROLLED VACCINE DEEP STATE POLICE"

Well I already went over most of my feedback with one of the devs, just a shame that the game is broken so the latter half doesn't work properly, because it was certainly trying to tell an interesting story.

Developer

Thanks man! It was really unfortunate, but that's jam games, something HAS to go wrong, i'll make sure to check out your game in a bit

Submitted

Refreshing take on the theme.I found it a really enjoyable experience to play.

Developer

Thanks man, i will check your game out in a bit too! any stuff that could be improved?

Submitted

Overall the game was fun and addictive, maybe just put an indicator to show when somebody is about to charge you.

Submitted

The game definitely has potential. I also had issues with text going off the screen, the controls are a bit wonky and I've getting some screen tearing (at least in the windows build). Most of it can be actually fixed later on. One thing to note, though, is to try not to make fun of the player when the player loses. It *might* sound fun when making the game, but unless the game is a satire, it's a bit rude and kind of a turn off. Nonetheless, great job in making this game! Keep at it!!

Developer

We were supposed to change the font and text of that game over screen, but we forgot to,  jam stuff. the performance of the game is a bit bad, so I understand the screen part, thanks nonetheless and I'll definitely check your game out, sometime soon!

Submitted

That game was pretty cool. Shooting makes much fun but there could (should) be more feedback. Overall a pretty nice game and a nice interpretation of the theme!

Developer

Thanks man!

Submitted

Rated! I really like your idea, and it was harder than expected! I really liked how the gun felt, and it was really fun zooming around the level shooting as fast as i could! There were some issues with the text that I saw, specifically it being off the screen in the tutorial and being really close together, but those are easy fixes. Overall nice job! I'd appreciate if you could check out my game too!

Developer

I will check your game out sure, and thanks, everything was rushed, we were very busy, thanks for the feedback, we will definitely take it in consideration if we decide to develop the game more.

Submitted

I think the sound effects are a bit too high.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, that is true, we imported the SFX in the last 3 hours, and we had other stuff, so sound had no playtesting at all, thanks, i'll play your game now!

Submitted

you cant rewind time

Developer

Once You finish the level, you go to your past, once you finish the level, we would love for you to try it out again, and do the rating part, thanks, and I will play your game now!

Submitted

When I get to the end after killing all of the enemies, nothing happens.  It may just be my computer.  Sorry I can't finish your game.
