Again, graphics and music were amazing but I did unfortunately get lost so only know the twist based on peoples comments haha! It's really hard too- like some checkpoints wouldve gone a long way. Still, the game hold up strong- its got a nice feel to it with all the particles and the diegetic healthbar was cool too :D Congrats overall!

The graphics and music were nice. There were also lots of nice touches with things like the camera movement. However, there are quite a few things that could be improved: the key bindings aren't great, there are no checkpoints, the melee weapon is useless, enemies take too many shots to kill and enemies also attack you when they're offscreen.

So let's talk about why I'm not a fan of the key bindings:

• Move with A and D; that's fine. Perhaps add left and right arrow as well, but maybe that works already (didn't check).
• Jump with Space, but dash up with W + shift; should be jump with Space or W and dash up with either one as well.
• Melee with LMB and shoot with LMB + RMB. Why not shoot with RMB or equip weapon with 1 and 2 (use weapon with LMB)? Perhaps you can just remove melee and have shoot with LMB.

Very good concept. I really liked it. Played and rated!

Nice game

In terms of design, the camera movement is a bit too sharp and quick in my opinion, and the melee weapon is pretty useless. However, I love the visuals and the gameplay is fun! I like how you tied the theme into the game, made me worry at first xD Great job overall!

Nice game, I really loved the design and enjoyed the game!

Loved the aesthetics of it! There's some really nice small details like the camera zooming in or out depending on mouse position and the background color changing with health that I really liked!
Id say the melee weapon is a bit useless, at least for me. I always referred to the gun.
Love how it deletes files at first haha, it got me genuinely subconsciously worried when I saw it delete important projects and videos XD.
I killed the beetle boss thing (relatively easily, he didnt really seem to have any attacks I justs tood still and shot him) but then my game froze and I had to call up task manager. Was that normal? If it was, pretty cool, if it wasnt, then im here to report the bug.
The music was nice with a loop that wasnt too noticeable and it wasnt especially frustrating. I like the electronic samples.
In terms of game design and innovation I wouldnt say it's great but it has a few little things that make it a relatively polished entry (if you overlook the inconsistencies that come with dashing).
Godd job!

This game is a masterpiece!

I am amazed by how much you managed to create in just a week.

It was a bit hard to understand but it fit the theme perfectly, great job!

Rated - First time I've seen the type of zip file.  (had to DL another program).  Cool mechanics here, and all the effects/animations are cool!  Great job.  I also tried my hand at my first melee game, please check out mine if you have time.
