I like the atmosphere, it feels like a spooky environment, but I feel like the game needed a little bit more to spice it up. The gun gives a little kick when firing, slow to recharge, and causes a explosion on enemy impact. I bet it would be cool to implement a rocket jumping type mechanic based off this. Good job on creating it within Unreal, I have not touched it myself but I bet it is high end and requires a lot.
I totally wanted a rocket jump from the very start, we just didn't have enough time! :) If Lunatic continues post jam, this is such a high priority goal. Thank you for the review! This was most of the team's first time with Unreal and it was quite a challenge. :))
My computer was starting to die a little by the time I got through the levels lol. I think it's cool that y'all got to do a 3D game, but it definitely doesn't feel like much of a game. The robots exploded themselves (I think?), and it was hard to make out a lot of the level. Still a cool project though!
This game seems like it might've been a bit hard to get off of the ground. 3D for a 48 hour game jam at all is tough, and using Unreal is no joke. That being said, (provided there aren't bugs) I think y'all could've made something greater by just focusing on creating one solid level. I got through the first level, then I died, then I spawned off the map and feel in too deep to a black hole. I like the boomer shooter vibe y'all seemed to be going for, but the theme of the game wasn't really apparent to me. Seems like you guys have some skilled artists on the team who didn't have the time to show off their full capabilities. If you continue to work on this project I'm excited to see where it goes.
