As you probably know, I love surreal hellscapes, and I think this game did a good job at an exploration horror shooter that allowed me to traverse this weird, twisted alien world. I like the parallax effects going on that give a bit of depth to the foreground, midground and background, and this made the platforming elements more interesting. Also liked the creepy, disturbing ideas for the aliens, and the general aesthetic weirdness of the game!
For constructive criticism, I think the platforming and shooting elements could have been cleaned up a little - there were lots of enemy encounters where it wasn't possible to attack the enemies from safety as the shooting is done from the top of the character. Maybe allowing diagonal shooting could fix this? Also there were some platforms I felt my character just couldn't reach, and the jumping was a little bit float-y.
Thanks for making a weird, spooky experience and submitting it to SCREAMWORLD, I had fun playing this one!
