Wow, that was definitively something else, I'd love to see more of your games in the future
Thanks! Glad that you enjoyed my game! :)
I love the bizarre pause menu mechanic. I could picture this as a micro-game in a series of different quick games where world and UI interactions are all deliberately very odd. The background music was really cool, it really gave me a sense of danger and feeling invested in trying to figure out this mystery. I also loved the landscape, it was simple and yet something about the monolithic 'buildings' and the lighting made it all feel very threatening.
Thank you very much for the feedback! I had a vague idea of what to implement, but more things came as I went along. I am a huge fan of easter-eggs within games, and I wanted this to be a bit challenging.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find the boss, but i get the idea of trying to make the player multitask while looking around.
The game over screen is terrifying on a windows machine :( especially when the game is by default full screen.
Hi. I have uploaded a video and shared the link on how to find the boss on the game page. You can refer it there. And I take full blame for the game over screen :D Thanks for trying out my game
It's a fun game as far as survival, but was a bit confusing to find the boss. I was just keeping them out for a few minutes until I paused and saw the hint. (Also, you monster for that lose screen!)
Took inspiration from a few easter egg hunts from video games, "Hide in plain sight". And apologies for the game end screen. XD
i like this game, i find it so relaxing to keep playing it,
and the gameover screen actually made me anxious (damn you)
I take all the blame XD Glad you enjoyed the game!
Dude......... I was making another project took a break, downloaded your game played it for a while, enjoyed it but then "Your pc ran into a problem" and I was like whaaaatttt! you almost gave me a heart attack:(
Nice game though
:D Sorry friend, had to do it. I'm a great fan of Arkham Series, and there is a similar glitch in Arkham Asylum. Just some 4th wall breaking stuff. And the message is slightly different as well XD
This is a fun idea, I loved the game over screen! I don't think I would have figured out the thing with the "pause" menu if I had not read it here because nothing in the game indicated to me that there was such a thing, so maybe you'd want to hint to that as well, perhaps just by having an "escape button" logo on a decor element or something like that to make the player want to try it. Good job on delivering a fun experience with an interesting concept
Thanks for the response as well as the suggestion. Will keep that in mind. I was kind of caught up with some stuffs and had little time to complete it. I did add it in the ReadMe file that was attached with the game. But it sure does need some serious feedbacks to be able to polish a lot of mechanics in it. :)
For anyone having difficulty beating the game, I have uploaded a video on how to do it and have shared it to the game page! Please check it out.
Wow that is dedication, that's nice of you!
:D Thanks!
This was really fun. Loved the shooting, explosions were well put together. I love the background and the flooring. Loved the death screen.
Thank you very much for the feedback :D
Pretty difficult! love the work you did on making the explosions feel good. and I love the game over screen
Thanks for the response :D There is a secret to it. You can use the pause menu to figure the clue out as it stops the enemies but u still has control over the camera! Try it out!
I have attached a video to the game page on how to beat the game. You can refer to it. Cheers!
Loooove this game, its so much fun. I'd love to see this as some sort of rhythm game. Music and everything gelled. I do think it was a little bit tough to see through the smoke, but other than that I loved it!
Thanks for the response :D
Tough but great work👌
Thanks :D
I have attached a video to the game page on how to beat the game, you can refer it to find out how to do it. Cheers!
will try
This was tough! Played it for a while and couldn’t figure it out, will have to give it a whirl again! Great game, thanks for making it :)

lol i thought that my pc had a problem, but i realized that i just had lost
That's the point XD
Neat idea for the theme, nice soundtrack and effect, it satisfying shooting the enemies and watching the explosions.
Thank you! Did you manage to figure it out?
