Pretty neat game, I think that maybe working on a more interesting main mechanic would have been more inportant than the proggression system, becuase currently the gameplay gets really repetitive really quickly, since all you do is walk to the right and avoid enemies, its basicly a version of the no wifi dinosuar game with 3d models.
but good job anyways!
First of all, Remember that game jams are about challanging yourself and experimenting, And not always you come up with a great idea, But its fine becuase then you can improve on your next projects!
here are some things that could have made it more engaging:
- adding verticality to the levels
- Experementing with the light mechanic, for example being able to shot only when your light charged, and having it run out when you use it, that way theres a risk reward involved.
Its a bit hard to think about much more since the game currently is based around the proggression system, but in your upcoming projects i would recomand starting with an fun system that could be expanded on, and then seeing how far could you go with it :)
