It looks like a fun game but unfortunately, I don't think it was working for me, I couldn't get to the collectables but could see them, I struggled to get through some doors and couldn't hit anything, maybe a position issue with the camera? but I love the zoom and lens for the sniper, nice work!

Winner winner chicken dinner - although I did cheat with seeing all the collectibles.

Nice work man!

You implemented the slow mo replication very well - although it does get a bit too much at times- so, thank you for adding a slider.

You definitely recreated an awesome classic sniper experience included with all the collectibles.

The music also gave a cool vibe to the game.

Great job for creating a game and submitting!

Fun

A basic sniping game. Doesn't do anything unique, but it was enjoyable.

Aesthetics

I had to drop down my game settings to run it. Seems like overkill. for a game like this. A lot of the assets are simple boxes or low-poly, which clashes with the high poly landscape.

Music

2000s era flashgame music. Could use improvement.

Sound

It was fine. Nothing special. The gun shot could use some echo or reverb. Possibly some shouting from your targets and better UI pings.

Mechanics

The scope movement felt a bit slow. Could use some reticle slowdown when moving over a target, and keep the scope moving faster otherwise.

The bullet time is really cool, but often it would have bullet time and my shot would miss. A lot like skyrim. 

The bullet taking time to hit was cool, but enemies being startled before the bullet landed was rough. I needed to predict where they would run.

Story

You are a sniper. Not much beyond that.

Theme

You literally die at the beginning.  Then it says just kidding and you play a normal sniper game. This is just lazy. There are no mechanics that relate to the game jam in any way.  This does not meet the theme. 

Thanks for providing a linux version! This is actually my first Unreal Engine 5 game.

I think you have a solid core loop. I didn’t have too many performance problems on Medium, though I think the shimmering on the distant crates is very distracting.

I only have three main issues:

• Bullet drop is nice, but I feel like feedback could be better about distance. I would have liked a distance indicator when scoped in. This way, I could get used to which ranges will require a certain level of bullet drop compensation as opposed to blindly firing until I get a feel for it.
• Bulletcam is too long. I would have kept it on, but getting bulletcam for misses and having it take upwards of what felt like 20-30 seconds made it bothersome.
• As far as the scoring goes, I feel like there was a missed opportunity to score headshots. I was deliberately waiting for enemies to hold still for the right opportunity or walk towards/away from the player.
• I think the gameplay loop and scoring encourages reckless behavior and risky shots as the player has infinite ammo and receives less points for safe but effective shots than unnecessarily risky ones. I would have included a penalty of some kind for triggering enemies’ alert status without killing.
• The gold bars felt a little like padding as there were no enemies to fight and there was no reason to explore the other rooms; I wish they had led to a higher balcony or something useful to the player, or that there were enemies that could spawn into the player grounds.
• To me, the mouse sensitivity felt too high in standard view and too low while scoping. I would appreciate the ability to adjust these separately in the Settings menu.

This is coming across as fairly negative but I think what you have here is a very solid experience. I didn’t have any real bugs in the experience and getting bullet time in there was a very nice touch.

Congrats on still getting the theme in there somehow, I got a chuckle out of that. Nice work on the submission!

You managed to make the Sniper Elite style shooting, that's very impressive! Good use of the engine with the post processing and lighting.

I don't know if you know this but those lower horizontal bars in the sight is supposed to be as wide as the width of a mans shoulders at that given distance. So you use it to gague distances. Line up the shoulders with the right bar to know the distance and you will know that you are compensating enough for bullet drop! - If you can manage to get this in the game you are golden.

Really polished and fun to play. The only critique if this were released is the optimization, but not going to ding you for that.  Great work, one of the best I've seen!

Wow nice game! The level is wonderful! And nice mechanics, really well done!

I really LOVE the slow motion thing, but it's a little to slow. I would at least enable it only if you are getting a kill. 

Well done!

Nicely put together. That was rather fun. I was pretty keen on finding all those green bottles but just couldn't get the last 4...

I was so happy that you had the option to turn off the bullet time, it was such a cool addition to have but I found the cutscene to be a little slow and sometimes happened even with shots I missed.

Anyway, really nicely done dude! You should be proud :)

Very nicely done. I will admit that I cheated by increasing my mouse sensitivity, I think it may be a bit too low in the default settings. The scare at the very beginning is fun :D. I also liked your menus quite a lot, they are polished and very functional.

Good job!
