Game Description
Play as a space marine shooting things. You have your orders, goddammit, and being dead is no excuse to forget them!
How does your game tie into the theme?
Main protagonist is a former human that got transformed into a symbiotic alien-human hybrid and gained inhuman powers. He's still human (mentally), so it's more like an upgrade.

This was pretty sick! Graphics/audio was on point, the awesome lighting made me want to play with 2d lighting. I liked the in-game display of the controls, that was a nice touch. The intro was also super dramatic and immersive.
Only bit of feedback I had was the WASD movement tripped me up occasionally, kept expecting W to move me in the direction of the mouse look.
Fantastic design! I really enjoyed the vibes. the visuals, and the smoothness of the game. Well done! It became a bit monotonous in the second half, so without extra stuff (like upgrades or new weapons etc.) - I'd shorten it, tbh. But, overall, it was a great experience, it reminded me of some cool games from the 90s.
And the lighting is great! Now I want to look into it too :)
Thank you for your kind words! I had more content planned in my mind (enemy types, character abilities, radio chatter) so it should've been more variable, but those didn't make it in. Actually, level length is not something I thought about at all when designing it, but now that you mentioned it I'll have to remember it, thanks.
The smoothness comes in many parts thanks to 2D physics interpolation. You have to explicitly enable it in project settings, and take care of what goes into `_process` vs `_physics_process`, and cancel smoothing on case-by-case basis when spawning/teleporting entities. It takes some non-zero effort to keep it bug-free, but the visual payoff is great, especially on high-frequency displays.
Very nice game! The top-down shooter brings me nostalgia and I love the lore of Dead Space. Well done!
It is such a fun game ! I really like the pixel art combined with dynamic lighting, and the universe has a lot of potential.
It is completely worth playing, good work. 👏
Thanks! I'm happy how it turned out myself, the lighting gives a lot of "pop" to the otherwise mediocre pixel art, lol.
