  • Well done! So much good stuff going on here, where do I begin. The art and level design were great with music that fit the environment. The boss fights were enjoyable and they each had their own different mechanics. Four different weapons to choose from with appropriate stats. Level progression with weapon stat increases. The recoil physics made sense for the weapon being fired. And then all together, just made a very fantastic entry! This game is on the right track. There were a couple of items that stood out for improvement. I never really knew when I leveled so maybe some sort of feedback or sound effect when you level up would be a nice touch. Second, I wasn't really sure about the civilians in the different zones. If I killed them, I gained experience. I tried "freeing" them by destroying the barrels but I didn't see any effect from that. So maybe a little more information on what to do with them. Again, really good game here. Would love to visit it again in the future!

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Some devs spent many hours without sleep making the recoil and reload system so don't judge them too harshly if it's not to your liking, please and thank you. :)

it´s amazing

I wish the first level started out simpler as I think it may be overwhelming for most players. For me it feels little bit overscoped, stuffed into one thing and like it should have started with one weapon and one enemy to see if the mechanic could work or not then progress through in simple levels.

That said, I really liked this game a lot, there's a lot you got done and it shows. The controls feel smooth and the overall mechanics like shooting, being hit, weapon switching, etc. worked well. Nice job!

I underrated the shotgun at first, then I learned to point blank enemies. Lots of fun.
