The concept really is cool, and the ideas are interesting. The two main issues to me are that the slimes can spawn everywhere (including in walls, outside of the arena, or more problematic, on the player) and that the gun has a really limited range. The two things combinened make the game really difficult to apprehend, but nonetheless, for a one hour game, you did a great job, well done!

Really cool concept! The first second I was confused, i am using the arrow keys to rotate the gun, so does that mean I cannot walk around? This seemed a little strange to me, but then I shot the gun and saw the knockback and I understood. Really clever mechanic, because you cannot shoot and walk in the same direction.

There were a few issues, like once an enemy would spawn on top of me, which made me lose immediately, or enemies would spawn outside of the level area. Another is that sometimes enemies spawned very close to me, which did not give me enough time to rotate the gun towards it to shoot it. Maybe you could check if a spawnpoint is a certain distance away from the player? Or maybe add some effect where an enemy will spawn, so that I can run away from there as the player?

Great submission! I really liked playing it! It was also cool that I could shoot enemies from halfway across the map, for some reason this felt really nice :D I agree with J.Anthracite that it feels like there is potential here and you could continue development if you want to :)

Unique concept I think could be explored more. I was having some issue with enemies spawning in or getting stuck by walls but I think if that was fixed it could be pretty fun!

Wow, great work especially so quickly.  I like the lighting effects on the torches.  I do wish the gun rotated faster like some others have said.  Maybe have it track the mouse or something.  Good take on the theme!

I like it! the only small complaint, sometimes an enemy spawned right behind my back and killed me instantly, but still really fun to play

Nice and challenging little game.

I feel like the gun  rotates a bit too slow, making it hard to shoot enemies that are in the oposite direction.

I would really like to see this game get updated!
