I was really impressed with the enemy behavior variety and overall balance of your game. Really amazing work. It seems like you had a plan and executed it with precision, well done!

Impressive 3D entry for a game jam! I liked the tense and gripping game play! There were so many nice touches: differing enemy types with unique threats (pesky rogues ughh), powerups that feel impactful, great complement SFX... and wow, a boss fight.
Incredible effort! Well done! Definitely a good base to build off (e.g. other mechanics like building up of static defences, different weapon types etc).
Very nice impressive game! All well put together! Good variation of enemies and a boss. I completed the game on first try so maybe a little easy. I didnt know why crossbow got faster at times or why I was healed, not that I complained... had a little problem if enemies got close that I was shooting and nothing seemed to happen so had to move the aim
You have different kind of pickups, that are dropped when monster dies.
- Heart -> heals you
- Green arrows -> 2 x speed rate for 5sec
- Red arrows -> 2x damages for 5sec
- Bombs -> blow when hit, damaging nearby enemies
You can collect those bonuses when you fire at them. Downside is: if you shoot a lot, you can sometime collect the pickup without really wanting it.
Concerning the fact that you can miss enemies when they are really close to you, I think it's a collider problem, that someone just pointed out. I'll check this after the jam.
Thanks for playing and for your feedback
It's amazing how complete this game is! Nice that there are different enemy types, and the lighting, music and sound effects make it very atmospheric :D
What a cool game, and so finished-looking. Had a little trouble until I realized I could just hold down the left mouse button, that was a game changer. Excellent array of enemy types and powerups. I was only able to play the browser version, so that may have caused some issues, but the camera/crosshairs movement was laggy. It also seemed like the hitboxes on the enemy were smaller than I expected and I kept missing when I aimed above the chest. But really, a fun and addictive game, congratulations!
Very sharp looking game! The variety of enemies and how you have to deal with them is really cool, as well as the upgrades. My laptop had a bit of slowdown. Might be interesting to see how it runs in an exe as well.
One strange bug I ran into is at the beginning when says "Click to Start", sometimes after the game loads, the direction that the player fires is different than the crosshair position, but if I leave my mouse absolutely still after clicking to start, it's usually pretty centered.
You. Are. A. Maniac. The fact that you pulled that off alone is crazy to me. I mean, of course you used premade Assets but even that fact doesn't change how cool your game is.
It was fun and challenging at the same time and those little Thiefs gave me a nightmare with their left-to-right movement. Really well done. The Boss was also cool!
I don't know if that's intended but the Wizards (when they explode) everything around them dies? At least that happened a few times. Also the Wizard smoke explosion doesn't fit the style of the game. But that's just really, really minor issues I've seen. :)
I also would've wished for different Power-Ups or even a Shop where you can buy upgrades (more arrow etc) but die to the lack of time during a GameJam that's just a wish. :)
Really, well done man. You had good gameplay, a cool Menu, even an intro.
Thank you for trying my game and for your feedback. It means a lot to me!
In fact the Wizards can drop randomly a bomb, which explode when you fire at it (if you had an extra shot at the wizard, then it blows the bomb). The wizards' ability is to resurrect fallen fellows, if you let them enough time to cast their spell.
True: the explosion VFX is awful: I admit :) . I'm not good at art and hadn't time enough to find a good asset or tutorial...
I liked the idea a lot and the mechanics worked pretty well, I think you did a nice job on it!
Well done! Nice premise and set up. Great job with the different enemies and power ups.
Really nice job on your game! The different enemies were fun, and the power ups added just the right amount of balance to sometimes equalize the odds but still provide ample challenge. I did find that there were certain angles where if the zombie is right on top of you at the front, the shots didn't register as hitting them. Well done on putting all of this together!
so fun! the graphics were super nice. the zombie/skeleton sound effects make me gag (aka they are the perfect sound)
Very fun and beautiful game. You put together something here that worked smashingly together and I really enjoyed fighting off the skeletons. I'm not very good at it, but I liked doing it LOL
This was super fun. Also kinda good balanced. It is never too easy and in the end you need to have a good aim, when the first boss arrives and be smart about which enemy to shoot.
Good job!
Awesome game, I played this one on my youtube and gave my thoughts and feedback if you want to check it out. I really liked it
Reminds me of old arcade games where you stood behind a plastic gun and kept shooting with a little bit of Plants VS Zombies thrown in for good measure. The placement of the camera and the main guy made it hard to know if something was chewing on me, but otherwise, pretty solid.
