Good game!
Such a cool entry! The beam is a very exciting weapon, though the encounters were usually quite short. The player is a bit hard to see, but other than that, it's a great atmospherical game! Pretty and very well done!
I was a bit lost as to what I was supposed to do, but there's a lot of potential in the concept. I do like the glowy visuals and destroying evil nondescript alienesque enemies with a whooping laser cannon is always fun!
Yeah, realising we should've make it a bit clearer now :P
Glad you liked the visuals!
The game looks great, and killing many ennemies at once is so satisfying ! But I think that the idea of joined ennemies could have been taken a step further, for now I felt like they were not very mobile and it makes the game a little easy overall. Liked it anyway <3
I would highly recommend you look into post-processing and take your game to the next level with scene transitions and UI as well! otherwise, Good job!
Very cool and scary atmosphere!
Killing many enemys at once is very satisfying.
Loved the art style and UI, very simple but still very cool the game was a little confusing at first, like i didnt know i had to hold E, but other than that, its very good
Great game and the enemy's are terrifying. only thing is like others have said it can be tough to tell what's you need to do next.
Nice game! I really like the art-style: simple yet effective. I hope you'll add more levels after the votes, this has some potential imho.
I liked this a lot! Killing the enemies with the laser beam was really satisfying, yet there were enough of them around that they felt like a threat, especially because they would lunge at you. Only thing is that it took me a minute to realize what to do. I didn't realize that I had to hold E to unlock the server, and then, since I didn't see any indication that the door had opened, I wandered around for a little while longer. Likewise, in the second level, I didn't realize there were multiple servers, would've been nice to have some UI indicating how much servers were left to connect up. Other than being a little bit confused, I really liked it! The lighting in particular was very well done and atmospheric.
thanks for such a detailed comment! i definitely agree there should’ve been some kind of indicator for the current goal, and the UI definitely needs improvement, but im glad you liked the rest :]
Nice game with great gameplay. Love the visuals.
