This was such a slick game, I loved it!
The guns looked weighty and I enjoyed how slightly muffled the gunfire was, felt at home with the chunky graphics. The aesthetic in general was spot on, felt super immersive instantly, and really supported the gameplay. Music was nice and retro, some good bleeps and bloops in there (can you tell I'm not the sound guy on my team..?). The UI is so simple and clean but communicates all the information the player needs and supports the vibe, talk about effective design!
The melee attack was my favourite animation, that funny lil' drill felt so personal to deploy.
Minor skill issue on my part, same as some other comments, I also just wandered around the Hab at first after getting up close to the tutorial section (for no reason, really, it was perfectly visible from the start point), and then not noticing the deploy button when looking back. Oops.
Totally see the influences shining through, not played AC/CH so for me I was really getting Helldivers x Deep Rock Galactic. Great sources of inspiration!
Launched my orbital strike into the last wave of enemies before hopping on the ship and not disappointed. The particle effects all round were ace, too.
Literally my only thought of constructive feedback is that I felt the camera was slightly low to the ground, but that may just be personal preference.
Superb game, well done to everyone on the team!

Hey! Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment. Your feedback is incredibly kind.
Yeah again I think I shoulda moved the deploy button... (but maybe I secretly did it on purpose to make you putter around the hub! muhahaha!)
Yeah I could see some Rock and Stone influences here. The orbital strike was actually a last minute addition on Wednesday after I got everything I wanted polished in. Said screw it and coded that bad boy up and I'm really happy I did.
I could see the camera being low to the ground. I didn't move it much after I set it on day 1. Didn't even occur to me. haha!
Thanks again for playing! <3
I only just realised that you made this entirely solo?? And my mind is blown??
We love to see a last-minute "hey, I have some time" decision pay off!
Ah, you get so used to things like that when you're playtesting, totally get the feeling - did get to experience that sweet roomba POV while also being one of the greatest military advancements of the xxst century, so that was a pretty neat combo!
Anyway, just popped back to say "wow wow wow" one last time ahaha, so yes, think I've covered that. GJ GGs WP again!!
