Hey, not bad. Honestly, the element where you lose control was the worst part. I know it was part of the jam, but if you took that out, it'd be a fun game XD. Still, that's very impressive that you pulled all that together in 48 hours. Good job.

Very cool look to the game and the controls feel pretty good!  Congrats on submitting a cool aesthetic 3d game to the jam! Please check out my game when you can~

Well done! Certainly wouldn't expect something like this from a one-man team in such a limited timespan!

Great work!

Developer

thank you :D

Nice aesthetics, and the idea can be fun, but in this state it s unpolished, I would give more control to the player once he.. well loses control, since just watching player getting oblitterated is not much fun (maybe make him move towards the enemies and let the player shoot?). The camera can move unpredictebly, and I run into what is I believe a bug, where I was running throughout the empty street and just at the end there were waiting 50 of them for me (maybe bad spawning?). Overall it s nice game, especially if made by one person! Great job :)

Appreciate it. Definitely agree it needs refinement and polish. Unfortunately I just didn't have the time to all of that properly haha.

I really like the idea, and the game turned out great!!! Maybe add some V-SYNC and optimize the FPS and it will be great! Good job!

Here is my game if you wanna play it, sorry for linking it in the comment but itch is bugged and isn't displaying it in the comment: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/698697#post-1648262

This was a one-man team. Might give some additional context :)

Nice idea and clean execution. Controls could be a bit more responsive though while you're still 'in control'. Visuals are great though!

Developer

Appreciate it! I'll check yours today as well :D

Needs some fine tuning but I enjoyed the game. I love the idea you had! Its a really cool concept.

Developer(+1)

Appreciate it, tomorrow I'll check out yours

The concept seems very cool, though I couldn't understand the "AI" mechanic, it felt as if I was doing nothing and eventually just died. Is that what was intended?

Also, the placement of the crouch button made it virtually impossible to use >_<

It has potential~

Hey! thank you. Yeah there wasn't enough to finetue the AI. My first game jam ever, doing it alone, while also streaming for the first time... was a lot to take on haha
