Wow, this was pretty cool! I've been pumped to try out this WAD since I heard you were making one!

For starters, the graphics are a horrific mish mash of styles and quality. By god its perfect for SBIG! The loose leaf weapons that weren't even fully cropped, the MS Paint style NPC's and pickups, and the photoreal tortoise sprite were all excellent additions. Having seen it myself now, it really does resemble Out Of Order 🤣! Which is a high compliment for this jam!

The voice acting as always was phenomenal! Well except for that one guy who wouldn't tell me anything about the keycards, who would ever purposely try to sound like a mix of the guy who reads out chat logs on To Catch A Predator and Xavier Renegade Angel?

The only gripe I have is that fighting enemies can be a bit of a slog. The swatter seemed to work ok against the flies, killed in one hit on the middle difficulty, but shooting them can be a bit difficult. The robots also felt a bit bullet spongey, being able to take quite a lot of hits no matter what weapon was used seemingly. I just used the red crossbow (?) so I could attempt to stunlock them. It wasn't too difficult or overly frustrating, but I think it is something that should be looked at when the other levels are made.

Also as an aside I loved the look of this specific NPC since his stance and proportions reminded me of Coach Z from Homestar Runner, and when I killed one of the bots it gave him an afro!

Also I love how we came up with similar door textures lmao:

(The screenshots look yellow because I set my laptop to lower the amount of blue light at night)

Also there's one wall in that big tent area that I swear to god was a secret but I couldn't figure out how to access it, tried shooting it and interacting, but no dice.

Outside of combat though, I do love the sounds and designs of the enemies. The big robot death sound is hilarious, the flies are fittingly annoying, and the flying robots remind me quite a bit of Strife. Actually having a woman named after a bird guiding you remotely, plus the dialogue with friendly NPCs, plus the crossbow weapon, and the fact this was made with Doom made a lot of the game remind me of Strife. Which is a good thing I think!

The absurdity of the world was also fleshed out pretty well I thought, between the graffiti, the trash everywhere, and the dialogue. I'd love to see more of it when its done!

Great work and please make more!

I had soo much fun with this!! Honestly a good Doom WAD is always fun to see, and this was spectacular!

The pathetically weak fly swatter was a hilarious starter weapon, and I did worry I might lose on the first area to some flie 😂 luckily I managed to kill the buggers (higher success rate than killing flies in real life 🤣) and we were off to the races!

Clearly, the characters and worldbuilding stood out here, and  clearly a good amount of focus was put on making some interesting acquaintances to meet along the way! Voice acting was top-notch as always, and it really helped to bring  together a cohesive world!

To be honest, the main issue is that I want more of it! This is definitely one I'll be waiting to try out again if/when more levels are added! Thanks for submitting, and well done!

This game is a lot of fun I love the voice acting

Overall a funny and pretty well made little game. I really liked the voice acting. Well done.

I was super excited for this one. I've played some of the Tofu Sheets Visual/Triangle Box Studio DOOM mods, but this is the first time you've done something along those lines for SBIG Jam.

Well… it was an interesting first attempt.

I'll start with the good. This game is absolutely hilarious. The setting is absurd and revels in it. I loved the transparent van and hearing it acknowledged in the dialogue. Almost everyone can be talked to and has dialogue that's both good for a laugh and helps flesh out the world.

Voice acting, as always, is an instant plus ten points to production value.

The graphics are strange, with a mix of very different styles, but it's perfect for SBIG Jam. There's line art, realistic and unrealistic textures on a simple 3D environment, MSPaint looking drawings and even what seems to be scanned drawings on lined paper. Some things have shading and some things don't. OpenGL lights are spammed everywhere.

The whole thing, intentionally or otherwise, feels like an homage to Enygmatic's Out Of Order.

As a shooter, though, it's pretty flawed, to be honest, and feels like a baffling step backwards from the DOOM mods you've put out in the past.

The weapons just kind of suck. The long wind-up on the fly swatter makes it absolutely infuriating to use. The style used for the weapon sprites is interesting, but they're very bland to look at and I'm not sure what they're supposed to be. All the weapons have slow projectiles, which is frustrating in a game with so many fast flying enemies. Between the weapon sprites, limited animation, weak sounds, simple projectiles and lack of effectiveness, the weapons just don't feel like they have any power to them.

The enemies are all bullets sponges- even the flies take two hits with the swatter to kill. There's not a lot of feedback when they're hit, either, which adds to the perceived weakness of the weapons. I do like the sprites, and I appreciate that they have rotations, but I wish the time-to-kill was shorter and there was more feedback (audio and visual) when enemies are hit.

Although the weapons are weak and the enemies are bullet sponges, there's a ton of health and ammo around, so the game never really feels tense or challenging.

The level design is a mixed bag. It started off decent, if generic, with those tight, narrow corridors. Having to go through the door in the back of the arms dealer confused me, though it might have been explained in some dialogue I missed (see below). The open courtyard and small jumping puzzle were neat to see. The final street section, while I liked the look of it and the interactivity, feels like it ends abruptly, with two keys in one building, another just one building over and a guy who "doesn't" tell you everything. I do appreciate the variety in the environments, and I hope we see even more of this in the full game.

I'm not sure what the tortoises do. Are they just there for the modifier?

There were some bugs. I ended up playing with GZDoom. The bundled LZDoom launched on the wrong monitor, then crashed immediately. I think the crosshair doesn't quite line up with where projectiles hit, which didn't help when trying to hit flying enemies. Also, talking to the arms dealer before the initial conversation with him finishes causes them to run together.

All in all, it was great to see something completely different from you this year. Although the game as it stands is a mixed bag, there's a lot of potential here and the final finished product could be really good.
