Pls add audio, but overall great game.

Really cool game, but as other people said, we need music and audio ! You can make a shoot noise with "sfxr" or by simply downloading one on some websites. Other than that, the game is really cool and polished. You could maybe make the lights from the torches a bit bigger / brighter thought.

Overall, cool game !

Also, could you rate my game ?

Submitted

Aw man I'd love to give this a look but I don't have windows!

Developer

oh im sorry, if i had known before i would have made the webGL version

Submitted(+1)

I like it.

Would be nice to have some music and pause menu tho.

Developer

thanks for the feedback :)

Let me put this first, audio goes long way on how the game feels. Without it, the attention span drops to under 5 minutes.
Other than that, the game is great, good graphics, nice visuals and art. The gameplay felt nice.
Also the visuals were very dark, you should have definitely increased the vision.

The problem with the game is not gameplay or mechanics, its balancing. The reload takes way too long. The player dies in 2 hits, health regeneration is slow. Once these issues are fixed, its a great game.

Everything mentioned will 100% be worked on and improved after the jam. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

That's great, would love love to play the updated version :D

Submitted(+1)

really enjoyed the visuals on this one! lovely graphics and great touch on the ability to customize the character too. Those bats are a PITA but good thing they got a chance to meet my friend called SHOTGUN-IN-THE-FACE lol

really fun entry, great job!

Submitted(+1)

really well put together game! i really like the visuals and the whole "darkness" aspect to it. Shooting has a really good visual impact to it too. One thing i would add is automatic reloading; i feel like it would be more intuitive than having to press R every 6 clicks. It also sucks that theres no audio too. But besides that, i enjoyed it. Good job! :D

Nice enter the gungeon like roguelike. Nice visuals, overall good job.
Here is my (fist) game jam entry. Check it out if you like:

Developer

thanks for the feedback! Will try the game 100%

nice, i like all the game juice that you have added. you also added a character customizer so there is alot of polish to this game but i do think audio would have made the game better. It was abit dark though. it made it quite frustrating to walk through rooms not knowing where to go or where i am so a brightness setting would have been nice. either way great game.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah i know there’s trouble walking to other rooms as you can’t really see the corridors, but one way to probably fix this would be to add items that increase your vision in the dark or something like that.

Submitted(+1)

Nice game! Very atmospheric and the camera shake adds a nice touch. I really liked the upgrades and how you could customize your player character! Any audio would have made your game really good but its still great either way. Nice job!

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game. I am a fan of the little things this game has, like how the UI turns red when you're almost dead, how you leave a gravestone behind when you die or simply that there are dead skeletons all over the floor. sadly there was no sound or music at all which was pretty sad. overall it was pretty fun.

great game. keep it up♥

Developer

Thanks a lot! I put a lot of tiny details like that in almost ever part of the game. I like to polish everything the best way i can so that's why i have no sounds :(

Submitted(+1)

I like the character customization, the game feels nice and could be amazing with audio 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Cool game, I like how clean the UI is and how responsive the controls are. Sound would really do wonders to this. Great job!

Developer

thanks for the feedback!

Really enter the gungeon-y.  Loved it.  Minus the no sound, the game was really fun to play!  Great job!

Developer

Thanks! Enter The Gungeon really impacted some game features!

Submitted(+1)

Getting some strong Enter The Gungeon vibes here, good job!

Developer(+1)

It was a huge inspiration, i love that game so much!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game! First game I've seen that offers character customisation so that was really cool to see. Also, I really liked the reload animation, felt like it fit perfectly with my cowboy hat choice!

Hopefully you'll add some audio after the jam!

Developer

Will 100% do for sure! I hate releasing not finished games and the sound is always the key part of game design.  Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Pretty fun game! Would be nice to carry more weapons at once.

Developer

you can actually carry 2 weapons at once! change between them by scrolling the mouse wheel

Submitted(+1)

As has been said, audio would have been a huge boost for the game, as the graphics are really well done, and the shooting hit feedback with the enemies getting pushed back is also really nice! One thing that I really did miss was an auto reload! If I had that then the gunplay would have been really nice! 

Great submission and hope to see this game get some more reviews! 

Developer(+1)

thanks for the feedback! didn't really think about an auto reload, but i could implement it in the future, maybe with some fix to those speedy enemies lol

Submitted(+1)

It's a really good gungeon like game! It's a bit hard for me. Is it normal I had no sounds?

Developer(+1)

totally normal, had no time to add sound effects :(

Submitted(+1)

really enjoyed this one! the shooting mechanic was intuitive, the lighting created good atmosphere - the game really couldve benefitted from some sound effects, but ultimately very solid submission!
