Love graphic and the whole old school concept! I couldn't beat a boss, but still had a lot of fun going through levels :D

Okay this game nails so many things. First off, an FPS! In MVM??? The Metroid Prime series was always close to my heart so I'm kinda biased lol. The immersion was amazing: the sound and the placement of various assets such as corpses made the whole thing have such an ominous atmosphere, and I'm all in for it. I love that this game could be played fast: movement is responsive, speed is high, and the enemies really made you push your thinking speed. My only nitpick was that some assets would stand out from the pixel art aesthetic, such as your ship. But the game made me want to keep playing, something that's difficult to achieve with anyone, especially in a game jam. Excellent game!

Really fun game! This is the sort of thing that makes me wonder how it was made in just a month. I had a lot of fun with it up until the final boss... I just could not figure out how I was meant to approach it.

Aside from that I felt like the player was a bit too fast for the environment... it gave me a bit of a headache at some points in fact with how fast the textures were going by. The head bobbing probably didn't help with this either.

I see some other people here had trouble reading the font, but I could read it just fine and thought it fit the style really well.  Maybe it would be good to have an option to switch it out for a more standard font, make it more accessible without ditching the stylized font altogether. Overall this was an amazing entry, great work!

Fun game! Haven't played something like that in quite a while, so that was a pleasant surprise. Music and art is great, made for terrific mood and I was scared the entire time haha. There's some slight design choices that i felt weren't the right ones, but it didn't stop me from completing the game, overall it's pretty solid and definitely a big achievement for someone that just picked up a game engine iirc.

So I for some nitpicks about the design, I wasn't sure what corelocked meant at first, later I realised it's a different name for classic overheat situation, I felt that with how your bosses were implemented, it's just a punish mechanism against players. I wouldn't be against it if your bosses didn't have timed window when they can take damage, if you screw up with overheat you're denied the opportunity to fight. That's my first thought about it, the system probably just need some value tweaking to feel better, but it's aight at the moment.

Thanks for making great game! :D

Combat is very smooth and the abilities complement gameplay very well. Controls felt a bit floaty but overall very fun.

You really nailed the aesthetic. The environments were awesome, looking the ship's windows to see the planet outside felt really cool.

I LOVE this hexen/doom vibe so much!!! The visual fidelity is 10/10, really great art direction and sound design.

-weapon mechanics are great, I'm a big fan of "unlimited ammo but there's a cooldown" in shooters. The cooldown upgrade felt very worth finding and empowering. The shooting cooldown bar being integrated into the gun was a great design choice.

-abilities were easy to use and made sense. It was very well telegraphed what each ability did. 

-bio system very cool. Love having the risk system of using bio or saving for heals

-The level design is fantastic. The way some sections loop but are blocked by the dash check (the fire) was *chefs kiss* design. Really great work!

Yo, that was really fun! I haven't played many games in this retro doom style but I actually enjoyed it a lot.

The difficulty ramp up did feel steep but also very satisfying, specially for the last boss. Took me quite some time to figure out the strat specially on the shocking ground (and it may be way too easy to get cornered in that phase), but it felt really cool once I got through it.

The environment looks quite neat and exploration was definitely consistent, I almost felt it would be a bit annoying figuring my way out sometimes but I did do it fairly quickly, so point on that. Atmosphere was conveyed very well, specially on the rooms with dead corpses, and the ambience fit perfectly.

I think my only complaint would be the font, like a few other people mentioned already. It was bearable to read the in-game instructions but the intro was just impossible to understand, specially given the varying interval of which each line stayed on screen which didn't always seem to match the line's length (or maybe I just got that impression due to taking so long to read and not being able to get some of the letters at all).

Overall, great game!

That was really neat, kinda love it. This was actually the first time I played a boomer shooter myself so that was quite fresh too.

When I started the game the UI was totally broken, but just a trip back to the menu to scale the resolution down fixed it no problem (Altought that do mean I had to see the opening cutscene twice, so making it skippable would have been really welcome, and if it was, at least none of the inputs I pressed skipped it).

It's pretty fun overall, I do love dashing around and shooting stuff, altought it's still rather simple anyway so I can't really think on a lot to say on that regard.
Some complaints I have to say tho, there's no telegraphing for when any of the enemies are gonna shoot, so when one appears right on your face you simply have zero reaction time. I'm also afraid there is no indication of wheter or not there are any projectiles coming from behind you, even if as far as I've noticed while playing, I didn't really got hit by anything of that kind, but still, it was a concerning tought to have. (I did got jumpscared a few times by turning around tho xD)

The game was all fun overall, until the final boss honestly. It felt like a really rought fight I have to admit. Aside from there being no telegraphs for bullets and missiles nor for when the shields gets up again or when an enemy spawns, I also got really frustrated by how I died a huge lot due to how the electric field move always lasted way longer than my shield, wich was just unfair. The idea of the move is cool and is a neat way of forcing the shield into the fight, if only it stayed active for less time it would had been a delicious attack to defend yourself from, but that was sadly not the case. I eventually discovered that the edges of the arena are safespots for this specific move, but when I tried to hide there the boss would just hug me on the wall and pat me with missiles that I couldn't defend myself from, because, spoiler alert: my shield didn't last for long enought, and I also couldn't consistently destroy the missiles with bullets because the boss was already kissing me anyway, the missiles hit me as soon as they were shot pretty much.

I have to say, unfortunately I threw the towel there, and I didn't even gave it a huge lot of attempts, it was just a little too frustrating to be worth to keep trying :(
I had a blast with everything that came before it tho, the other two bosses were pretty fine too.

Also, more of a personal nitpick, but I kinda felt like the mouse sensibility was a little too low for me, would have been nice if it was changeable, but that's not a huge problem anyway.

I also recorded my entire run if you're curious to see it, just ask me for it.

Really original entry. Liked the visuals, especially effect when shooting on things works really well.

Being locked to the floor is a bit frustrating especially at the beginning The door could be a bit more visible (once your understand the pattern you find it easily tho). The overcharge mechanic with the gun gets a bit frustrating especially on the second boss (the one that give the shield). Maybe there is a bonus to reduce the cooldown i didn't found. The head movement should be reduced imo.

I had a lot of fun playing the game, lots of cool design idea ! Congrats !

Overall this game was very well done. I enjoyed the environment, and the controls all felt smooth. I liked being able to choose to use my energy to heal now, or hold on in case I needed it later. 

My biggest issue was with the final boss. It seems like a large spike in difficulty, and it gave no indication that the shield would drop after some time. It was also able to block me into a corner that was difficult to break out of.

An interesting game for sure. Wolfenstein vibes brought some out some nostalgia so congrats on that. You did a good job on communicating to the player their goal and what to do with their powerup. The atmospheric music was a good choice to go with and lends itself to your chosen theme. While there were moments where I felt like I needed a map, I still managed to find my way relatively quickly so good job there.

I think my biggest criticisms would be

• The player lacks the ability to change mouse sensitivities. I personally felt constrained by it, but I managed to roll with it.
• Head-bobbing. Ultimately, I think head-bobbing shouldn't exist in a game where the ceiling is just barely above the player. If the rooms are more open vertically, then yeah I don't mind it as much. Personally, I don't like head-bobbing at all and think it would have been nice to have an option for that as well. This is more of a nitpick.
• I think you should have put a little sound on the enemies. There were two or three instances where I was shooting an enemy in front of me and had no clue that an enemy was behind me and that got me killed. In fact, it would not only help the player, but also add to the atmosphere. I remember so many instances in Doom 1 and 2, where before i entered a room, I could hear the monsters rumbling and grumbling which added a "I don't know what's in there, but I know it ain't good" feeling. 
• Font is a little hard to read, but I'm not going to dock you on that because my entry's font is hard to read. Sometimes you make that sacrifice for an external font that matches your game's aesthetic.
• I think the gun may overheat too quickly. I think if it was toned down a little it would feel a bit better.

Overall, I liked this entry. It was fun. Nostalgic for me and it seems like you had a fun experience making it. Congrats!

Okay, played and finished the game, for a quick rating : this game is a banger for the more constructive one, here it is The art direction is on point, there are no inconsistencies, everything feels in its place, and the pixel art really made the game shine There is a little something about some resolutions not matching, for example with what I think is the dead people, they have a really small resolution, especialy when compared to the COEUS I'm a musician, so let's talk about music, for such a small game, there weren't that much of them, but the few that were here, were bangers At least, the ambiances are really great, the atmosphere is spot on, and the boss music ? I wish I could listen to it while writing this rating, very good too The UI works well, no problems whasoever, except maybe the settings, but that's not much Gameplay wise, loved it, felt dynamic, felt great, there wasn't much problems that I could see. The difficulty was good I feel, the COEUS was a hard but great fight, especialy when you figure out the paterns and little strategies to ration Bio Energy Speaking of the bio energy, quite a good system ! Really liked having the choice between healing or preventing damage, it may not seem like much, but it is, it opens some interesting choices The ennemies (except the COEUS) felt a bit repetitive in what they do, but given everything else, and the fact that the game was made in a month, that really is not a big problem Gotta say, I'm a big metroid prime fan, and quite frankly you did hit the nerve, I could imagine this becoming something greater. Really, a big congratulation from me, love it, my guy you rock

A very polished game that show the dev put a lot of effort in it. BGM is atmospheric and has a cool intro too. Gameplay has depth with the bio energy mechanic.

Some feedback for improvement:

- The font is hard to read.

- A mouse sensitivity slider would be great for a fps.

- The final boss floor eletric attack is too big, hard to maneuver around

Project Coeus plays extremely smoothly and handles great. It really takes me back to the nineties playing the original Doom, but Coeus handles better.  The graphics look good. I really like the graphics in the opening scenes. The music is great and really suits the aesthetic.

I did get stuck on the first boss, but I wasn't very good at Doom either. lol.

Great job.

A very atmospheric game, the ominous dread was palpable. It had a very 1980s vibe to it which to me puts it pretty solidly in line with the 20XX theme. The intro scene also really helped set up the overall tone.  The alien art was off-putting in all the right ways, and I really liked some of the rooms that just had dead aliens in them, those rooms scared me the most. I also liked that it seems like the first boss has set a misdirection trap for you. The corelock mechanic on the gun was a really good method to get me to not spam shooting without being as stressful as a limited ammo system.

Some areas I struggled with,

1. It was hard to know where I was going or supposed to go. The game was pretty linear at first, but once I unlocked the dash ability I wasn't sure if I was supposed to continue down a certain path and begin exploring more. Because all of the rooms look more or less the same and because I didn't have access to a map (I think?), it was really hard to have a sense of direction.

2. Some of the enemies had a tendency to body me into a corner and do more multiple hits on me while I couldn't move out. Not really sure what the solution to this is, maybe let me move through the enemy for a moment after getting hit?

3. Unfortunately I ran into an issue where the game just crashed after going into one of the elevators / loading rooms. I'm not sure if I was even going the right way at that point, it was in the room with the smoking space ship.

Even though first-person shooters aren't really my genre of choice, I was pretty solidly sold on the atmosphere and just general creepy vibe of the area. Very nice job!

Excellent execution.

Good storyline, narrative. The mission is clear and it makes sense.

Artstyle good. I didn't make it too far. I managed to kill the first boss.

It starts to get a little creepy at some point when the colours get greyer and there is corpses lying aroudn all over the place, so I chickened out xD just kidding-, but I died once.

Anyways. I have one thing to suggest for improvement.

At the beginning I took some time to figure out I had to get the plasma gun and then run all the way back to destroy the boxes in front of that door.

To get through it. I didn't even realize that it was a door at first, as there didn't seem to be anything indicating that it is (or I'm just slightly dumb)

Overall expert job!

Overall the game feels really good. I really like the visuals with the music and the mix between 2D and 3D is really well done. My only complains are as others have said the camera movement and some minor details in mechanics:

Maybe the dash could have some cooldown, at least with every enemy except the final boss I could spam dash to the left while shooting in circles avoiding every attack.

Regarding the final boss, I feel like it's such a big power spike in difficulty compared to the other bosses that were in my opinion way to easy, at least for me.

Exploring definetly was the best part of the game. I feel that I could play it for hours with a bigger map and some kind of minimap to know where I am.

Incredible aesthetic! It is a really great throwback to the days of the original Doom and Half Life. The music, sound design, and fog effects also contribute to the really great atmosphere. The shooting, movement, and level design were all quite solid. Though as others have mentioned, it seems like the character turns significantly slower then the mouse movement, so I would often hit the edge of the screen with my mouse before fully turning, preventing me from completely spinning around. I also found the tanky bosses to be a bit too repetitive, but that might just be my personal preference. Overall, excellent work!

It looks good, and it seems like it could be fun, but turning around goes very slowly when using the mouse, so it's hard to play.

Also, I find it hard to read the font.

I also tried to go back to the main menu to see if I could find the controls. I then tried go back into my game again, but you can only start over and the intro video takes a long time and can't be skipped.

So very impressive visuals, and probably a lot of fun after some minor tweaks. I played it on linux.

Oh there's also a folder called 'Project_COEUS_Linux_BurstDebugInformation_DoNotShip' which probably shouldn't be shipped :)
