Fun game! The lighting & music definitely make the presentation very cinematic. I was pretty confused on why I couldn't pick up multiple bombs at once, & I had trouble finding out how to get them to the middle, but that is likely just me being bad at the game. Overall, nice work!

Thank you. Yeah, I intended the icon on the side to indicate that a pickup was currently held and that only one could be held at a time. I should have mentioned this on the information page but forgot to add that.

Thanks for playing and for your feedback!

Beautiful atmosphere but I maybe felt it excesive dark for the gameplay. The important items or places felt to dark and it made me loss orientation and what I'm picking up or where I have to put them.  Also I think that some stamina system to sprint faster or some dash options would had been perfect for this game.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback. I originally planned a dash ability but it was something I ran out of time to implement. I had sprint mechanics from the beginning but had to remove it as without stamina it was too easy.

Good point about the lighting. That can be adjusted. I added a light on the pickups to help identify them however I should have placed one on the generator as well in hindsight. I can see how it would be difficult to identify where to go.

Pretty good! I like the aesthetic, and the effects are nice! Being bombarded with bullets is pretty chaotic! It's also pretty fun, though it couldn't run at a full 30/60 fps on my laptop sadly. But still fun! I think you die too easily though... Or maybe it's just that I'm bad

Developer

Thank you for playing and your feedback. One thing I wasn't able to do in the time I had was to test on other devices that are lower end so it was hard to optimise when testing on a high-end machine. That is definitely something I will try to work on in the future.
Yes, it is a pretty challenging game. There are a few tricks that you can exploit to win fairly easily though I admit.

I think it would be better if you explained how to download the game, or made it easier to access. I would love to play it but I can't figure out what to do with the file.

Developer

simply download the file, drag the folder that is inside the zipped folder to your desktop or anywhere else on your system. Then open the .exe file by double clicking on it.

I don't have a zipped folder when I download it, It gives me a 7z document.

Developer (1 edit)

7z is a type of zipped folder. You should still be able to extract it with any other zip manager. But I can convert it to a standard windows zip for ease of use. Otherwise you have to click open with and choose the program you use for zipped files. Thanks for making me aware of this possible issue

Submitted(+1)

np, let me know when you convert it to the folder and I'll play!

Developer

It should be available now. The one with the .zip extension. Please try that. If there are still issues I will upload the unzipped folder instead.

Works now! Thanks for fixing it!
