Pretty fun but a little buggy. Enjoyed the idea but kept forgetting to pull my knife back. Fell of the map a few times but I love the idea.

Very confusing why I die or fall in (holes?)  Love the knife idea.

Feels pretty satisfying to swing the knife around in a whole group of enemies and see their bodies be sent flying as they get stabbed, and even though the map needs some work, it was pretty fun!

Cool little mechanic you got there! I agree with the others, it's really hard! I think it's because you can be surrounded too easily. Takes away the fun of getting to swing the teleknetic knife around. I also fell through a hole on the map and had to refresh the page.

Love the way the knife works, maybe a way to force recall it if it gets stuck behind a block or something. Unfortunately, I got stuck in the ground in some weird geometry near the edge of the map.

I like your idea with the knife, feels quite satisfying to throw it. I like the use of the assetpack. But damn the game is hard. An easier map for learning the mechanic would be nice. A bit more polish is also needed, cause I fell through some random holes in the map, and on my end the music had some static.

The knife mechanics feel quite good actually but I didn't have the time to get used to them because I was dying all the time . 

It feels very frustrating when you get killed in like two hits if the enemy stands right behind you , even when you were moving away from it . 

I feel like the game would be very fun if the enemies wouldnt deal so much damage or you would fight through a dungeon with level design more like the first two doom games

Not a bad shooter, but you don't have long to respond to the enemies. I found myself dying quite a bit at the start before I'd even had a chance to work out the controls and what I'm doing. I also managed to fall off the world somehow and didn't die and couldn't find a way to restart.

That said, the knife mechanics were amazing, and I loved the way the enemies fell over realistically when they got hit. Good job!
