Good game. I think the game would benefit heavily from some indication that bullets are being fired. I spent a couple minutes trying to figure out how to shoot because I couldn't tell that the gun was firing. It would also benefit from the ability to restart without quitting and running the game again. Overall, it was fairly fun once I figured it out.

Fun game for sure, def liked fighting all the spiders, however i think it wouldve been better if the bullets didnt fire so fast so that you had to like, aim lol, instead of just spray everywhere. also didnt really know the objective other than survive.

Submitted

interesting game! had a problem with the spiders as well and wished the bullets were a bit larger so they could be seen easily. other than that, seems like a fun maze type game

Submitted

There was trouble with spider spawns and walking through walls. Also, I really think the game would benefit from more animations connected to shooting the machine gun. This would make the game far more fun and engaging IMO.

was unable to get the game to upload into my unity and was unable to play unfortunatly

I could not open it in my MacBook.

It was fun to shoot the gun at the original spider and watch it flip over, also was fun to just run around and see all of the assets used. I thought the idea of the tracers of the bullets was cool and was fun to move back and forth and watch the trajectory change. There were many problems that I encountered, like after the initial spider, every single spider would immediately die when spawning and I would not even see them I would definitely recommend fixing that.

I ran into some of the same challenges as the other reviewers re: weird spider spawns killing me, clipping through walls, unexpected spider collisions, and the occasional clip through a maze wall. 

I'd definitely recommend adding some sort of 3D sound to the spiders so that the player knows they're nearby. Scared the heck out of me a couple times. 

I thought the gun wasn't working at first because there's no feedback except that a spider died roughly directly in front of me. Even if there's no muzzle flash, either just seeing the projectile or having a pew pew would have been very helpful.

I'm not quite sure how I'd have solved for spawning spiders near the player but not in walls, but that seemed to be a common issue.

Overall though, nice job. Building out the maze and a shooter with enemies tracking you isn't easy!

Submitted

I wasn't certain on what to do here.

I somehow got outside the maze but found an interesting little tomb out in the sand. No way back in though.

Most of the time the spiders would just clip out of nowhere and kill me, and not having a restart button made it very annoying. Also why is there no sound for the bullets, or the spiders, and why could I clip through pretty much any time I just ran into it.

Nice Job! The spiders were definitely a jump scare just turning around and bam their there. Although its a bit annoying not having a way to easily restart with reloading the entire game. The spider spawning seems a little busted in that sometimes they spawn on top of the player leading to instant death.

Submitted

Upon starting the game I was instantly killed by a spider clipping through the walls - it was upside down and crawling? Kinda just flipping all over the place. Anyway - this seemed to occur multiple times while playing, I got killed by something I couldn't react to or couldn't even see. Also frustrating there is no restart so I have to ALT+F4 every time I die, sometimes this is instant.

There is also some extremely weird collision detection occurring, I can force myself through walls, sometimes when I run against a wall my player will "jump" and rotate in a direction uncontrollably.  The spiders themselves even seem to fight with this collision issue and walk through walls.

The games controls do not feel good and are sluggish, even being able to control the camera with your mouse would be extremely helpful.
