We completed the game several times before publishing it. If you have difficulties with the playthrough, you can watch the video on the game page

Thank you very much!

Nice game, but it doesnt teach the player the core mechanics

Developer(+1)

What do you mean? Were you not clear about any rules or maybe did you have controls problems?

Submitted

I like the graphics, looking nice and simple, telling everything pretty precisely. Game itself is pretty hard, enemies can shoot from quite far distance, and fighting with a knife is not very precise, and sound of that knife attack is not so well choosen with that big reverb on it :P 

Nice concept after all, nice job!

Developer

Thank you very much for your feedback ;D Yes, we should work on the balance

The graphics look fantastic, it gives a such cool vibe. The gameplay is fun but it is very hard, I would recommend increasing the attack area, because it is very hard to kill the enemies. I really liked the interactive menu. The SFX are also nice, and the enemies are really fast. Great entry for such a short time keep it up :D

Thank you very much for your feedback

That was a really challenging game :O The enemy pathfinding is great i felt i was against real people :D

Throwing barrels and exploding them felt satisfying.

The main issue is difficulty :/ Enemies never stop shooting if they have a clear sight of you. Maybe they could reload after shooting some amount of bullets. Also the knife is almost useless , most of the time it doesn't reward for the risk you had taken :/ You should buff its range or something.

Overall i had a fun time. I want to play again if you decide to work on it :] Great work !

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words about the game. Yes, the main disadvantage of this game is that it is unbalanced. After the gamejam, we are going to release an update for it.

I also played your game and I love it. I can say that it's incredibly polished

nice game

Developer

Thank you!

Interesting game, i really liked the sound effects and would really appreciate adding music to it. Great work!!

Developer

Thank you very much for your feedback

Realy nice and fun game, but in 90% of cases I commit sudoku, when I try to throw / push barrels :D , some kind of quit menu would also be good.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing. The point is that you need to stand on the opposite side from the one where the arrow is pointing, otherwise the barrel will fly straight into your back

Submitted

Very fun game. Good job!

Was super fun to play once I got used to the control, seems I'm not very stealthy though.

Developer

Thanks for playing. Well, the game is slightly unbalanced, it's okay if you couldn't beat it

Visuals are great! Overall gameplay is fun and challenging, but making dash on releasing shift and not pressing it feels weird. And enemies should have limited ammo. Good game.

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you liked the game. Thanks for the comments. Yes, the soldiers are actually much stronger than the player, we should have made them weaker

Submitted(+1)

I like the sound and visual effects, maybe you can make the health bar bigger. I hardly noticed it. I think the enemy shouldn't be able to shoot outside of the screen, it feels not fair. Other than that, it is so fun to play. Great job!

Developer

Thank you very much for your feedback. Yes, we agree that the opponents in the game are too strong. In the process of creating the game, we tried to make opponents smarter and more dangerous for player. Apparently, we overdid it. Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it

Submitted

Nice game, the hitbox for barrel in menu is kinda weird though, I need to hit them several times.

Developer

Yes, this is a small problem. You need to get closer to them. Glad you liked the game

I think this game is the foundation of something addicting. The sounds, the aesthetic,  the challenge,  it all adds up to a game that I could very well see myself sinking a good bit of time into. The one thing that I will say is this: Get rid of the auto-scrolling. Make this into a sort of Exploding Barrel Metal Gear Solid. I found the most fun in this game by avoiding the enemy, learning their patterns, peeking out and tossing a barrel tactically...and then the wall would kill me, because I was taking too much time. I think that the wall definitely adds to the "Chaos" element of the jam, but the game is already very difficult without the need for a mechanical timer. Either way, I still had fun. Good stuff.

Thank you very much for your feedback. Yes, in many ways gamejam theme determined the gameplay and mechanics of the game
