Damn I really have a sweet spot for these low res games! This game reminds me a lot of Devils Daggers but I think I actually prefer the colour scheme and overall aesthetic in this game. I hope you keep working on it and add more enemies! Also huge props for making all the art and sound during the jam (We did the same for our game and we know how much extra work it is!)

Thanks! The visual style is inspired by the longest forgotten creases from deep inside my mind. I plan to keep working on the game assuming I can pull together the motivation to work on a project for longer than 48 hours. Thanks for playing!

I love the visuals and audio in this game, the color palette and audio gives it a really eerie feel, fantastic job! It's quite challenging but fun, a difficulty ramp would be good to add. Nice work! It's cool to see more FPS games, I made one too!

It's pretty cool! the graphics are nice and atmosphere is quite spooky.

I could kept going forever strafing but my hand started to hurt. :D

That's a higher score than I've ever seen for it,  I haven't even got that high in the easier updated version I've been making. Then again there's not really a difficulty curve... Out of curiosity what's your best score on Devil Daggers?

I only really played it when it was released. I have like 213sec  and I remember being really high on the global ranks, these days tho people have crazy times

So I really dig the artstyle, first 3D Godot Game that I see in the jam. Really like the pixelated look that you gave it.

Other than this, execution wise the laser beam doesn't make for good combat I feel, you often get kill at the same time the enemy see you. I think you would of just been fine being able to destroy them at all time.

Laser attack are tricky, you have the wind up part and the fact that the enemy doesn't look immediately the player, but you also need the laser to extend over time to give a fair chance.

Other than the fullscreen issue, everything seem to work fine and the control are rightly introduce !

I agree that the laser isn't particularly fair but since the jam ended I added an extra sound which improves it I think. There's a lot I want to improve with this game

Wow, I really liked the feel of this game. That style of graphics and ambiance is very spooky. Great job. I could see you making a full arena shooter out of that.

EYE like this game!  Fun to move around, but turning around was a little slow. Also, the text was cut off for my game window.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! While EYE was making this game I forgot resolutions below 1080p exist. In the pause menu there's a fullscreen button and also a sensitivity slider but it isn't visible unless you're in fullscreen I think. I'll make a note of that on the game page.

nice game

I found that even with  my mouse set to a very high DPI setting, I could not turn quickly enough to react to many situations. Great job with the enemy pathing and AI- that part works really well. The animation of the gun shooting is also quite satisfying to watch.
