This game's just weird, it's easy to get stuck, when you die the game doesn't reset or take you back to the menu it just disables movement, speaking of the movement the movement speed seems to be random for some reason? It doesn't even seem like it's the timer doing it either, the aiming is bad, instead of following your mouse or using the arrow keys you hold space while you slowly turn clockwise which is not good, the music's nice though.
(Q and E turns to aim)
Really enjoyed it!
Nice !
Well, I'm glad I was able to play it but I couldn't beat it. I kept getting stuck so that I could still rotate and shoot but couldn't move except by shooting. I think what happened was I would get cornered by the police cones and then shoot myself into the level geometry. That or I ran out of health and it disabled movement but not shooting. I can see what looks like a health number in the screenshots but it didn't render in game for me. Movement seemed to speed up and slow down randomly when I would change direction while walking, like the character mover was getting caught on the geometry or something. The camera clipping through the buildings constantly was pretty disorienting, and then when I accessed the menu it turned off translucency so I was completely blind. Maybe have a raycast from the camera to the player and disable visibility for any buildings it sees? What was the significance of the countdown on screen? It's a cool visual effect and I know it ties into the 3-2-1 theme but it didn't seem to have any significance beyond that. I liked the music and the visual style of the game but the gameplay just didn't work at all for me.
Interesting way to implement the theme!
I wanted to try this game out, it looks pretty cool. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a link to the actual game on the game's page...
