How did you incorporate the theme and lore?
I made a simple rts "system" for the ai. The player can only stop it by "breaking" the main brain of the ai system. Hopefully, this interpretation counts. I also was not able to incorporate the lore in time.

It is a game, to be sure. No but really, it is weird, but not at all in a bad way, I really like the surreal aesthetic of it even if the gameplay was a little slow, and the audio was also very nice
Thanks, how far did you get if you don't mind me asking?
I played level 2, but the robots chasing and killing me was a little frustrating with how slow the player was and the fact that I had to start over and I could get lost easily. But that's probably an easy fix
Right okay. Yeah you aren't alone, thanks for the feedback.
Interesting game and art! Full of potential
Thanks!
I like the style...very unique... and fun mechanics
Thanks!
I can definitely see this game being addicting with a few tweaks! love the SFX btw for the gold orb collection, & the music really fits.
a couple suggestions for improvement:
Awesome work!
Thanks for the feedback, I will work more on guiding players on what to do so it is not so confusing in the future.
I really like the atmosphere you managed to achieve, it was very spooky! Well done! I think you should be able to aim where you shoot, but then again it made the enemies 100 x more scary because you could only run away from them. The game was also very hard, I only managed to get to level 2. But all in all it's a fun game!
Thanks for playing! Yes, I need to work on difficulty.
Hey really nice game! Did alot of great work with a little, and the opening atmosphere was legitimately intruiging.
Thanks, I am glad you liked the atmosphere!

Hi. The game was fun but hard.
The main title animation when you move and the title just scrolls up is really cool.
That second level is super hard (or at least I suck at it lol). Aiming is not really an option, so hitting those aliens was almost impossible. I just resorted to dodging them, but after a couple of minutes when the map is filled with them is pretty hard. I managed to get 3 hits on the main building on my best play, but I couldn’t complete it :c
Good job!
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
Cool art style and really nice atmosphere. But for me the player feels pretty slow and aiming is also kind of awkward.
Thanks for playing. Yes, I will have to work on the difficulty in future games, thanks for the feedback!
Awesome ambiance and really unique style! Enemies had a satisfying hard but not too hard behavior to them.

Well done and very spooky!
Thanks!
"It is over" hahaha.
It was a cool game ! I like that there was an introduction level to understand how to win, it did take me a while to understand that the grey projectiles would not work tho, maybe adding some kind of "objective" text would've help, but I did understand in the end. The temple explosion is pretty nice and I like that grainy post FX.
Nice interesting game.
Yes, I have to work more on how to make the player understand. Thanks for playing.
The aesthetic that this game brings to the table is outstanding. I love the character, the enemies and the temples. No lore usage but none the less a great game.
Thanks for playing. I am glad you like the aesthetics!
I played it here:
Great! Thanks I will check it out
I thought the game was quite charming. Lovely aesthetics with the visuals and music. Also retro style was definitely a win for me. My only complaint is the difficulty. Since the balls shoot in an arch, the enemy comes flying towards you making it difficult to hit them in time. All in all great game. :D
Yes the game is a bit too difficult, I will keep that in mind for future projects. Thanks for playing!
Love the aesthetic and feel of this one! Very spooky and cool, and I loved the way all the models looked. Maybe it's just me, but I would have liked to have a little more control over my character. They're really sluggish and not being able to control the arc of your shot got a bit frustrating. It was taking me too long to kill enemies and by the time I finally cleared out one 3 more had spawned. Maybe being able to hold the button down to set your power would be a good way to go. I think also some sort of health would be nice. Having only one hit when you have to hit the main building so many times to destroy it was very tough. Overall, really cool and unique experience!
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
The concept of this is sort of weird, but the mood is fantastic! I have a soft spot for games with a creepy vibe, this definitely fits! Difficult at first, but equally difficult to stop playing. :D I love the grain filter.
Thanks I am glad you enjoyed playing :D
The aesthetic of the game is really great, I love how it looks! But its very difficult to hit the aliens.
Yea it has a bit of a learning curve. Thanks for playing!
I love this art! The textured effect looks really nice
Thanks, I am glad you like the art!
