Did you work in a team?
Solo project, extremely fun

Was the resolution a challenge?
Hurdles were mainly surrounding UI, it was a very fun design constraint to try and pack as much as I could in such a small space. In terms of 3D I felt much less restricted than I thought I would.

What did you learn?
Entered primarily to put into use some PSX style shaders I had made, but ended up learning a lot about many different fields out of my comfort zone, such as art and animation

Looks great! The controls need fine-tuning but I enjoyed zooming around!

Great art style, everythings feels and "reads" fine for that resolution. And that it's a lot! Congrats!

Nice idea, I love the use of PSX style shaders.  Agree with the Hive Five dev below, walking was very fast and turn very slow. Easy things to tweak to make it better. Good work :)

Always impressed to see 3D games in this jam! The walking felt a little too fast and the turning felt a little slow, but overall really impressive!

This was really neat! definitely one of the better "doom-likes" in this jam, I actually really liked the CRT shader! i look forward to playing this with a higher mouse sensitivity

I love the design for the textures in the environment. The difference in color between the outside and the cave area was really effective and looked great.

Great project! The art and animation were pretty good for them being out of your comfort zone.

I liked the game! And the design of the bats too!

Neat game. I liked how all you could see of the bats at a distance was the reds of their eyes. I did find it a bit tricky the first time I tried (I died on the first bat), but on a second go I was able to make it through without any damage. I'd love to play it again if you add more.

Glad to hear you liked it! There's definitely more content planned for future updates, had several more areas and enemies planned out that had to be cut due to time
