This was really enjoyable, fast paced and shooting felt satisfyingly great. I think this was due to the fast fire rate and enemies quickly giving feedback on being hit.

If I could have one thing added other than more content, it would be a toggle for run. I always want to be running!

I managed to get fairly competent at shooting the doors from a distance then peeking diagonal into a room while shooting to avoid taking much damage. I think due to the current reaction time of the enemies and damage dealt with no health pickups, charging into a room isn't viable.

I was excited to read at the end that you're intending to develop this further. I hope that is still the case!

All the best with your future games.

Thank you for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah I will definitely continue Downlink, I just needed a little break from it to break apart the monotony(which is ultimately how slavjank arena was born). It is taking extra time because when I made it I was still somewhat of a noob at Unity, so to fix it up and make it into what I believe it should be, I gotta rewrite what is already there first before I add any new content to it.

Sounds good, I hope you can take your time and not get burned out.

The game reminded me (at least the levels) of Office Point Rescue, but I prefer the faster pace of Downlink myself.

Hope you had a good break over the holidays :)

Any gamedev in the works for Q1 2022? Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!

Break was great outside of me having a pretty high fever for the last couple of days! How was yours?

As for updates, sadly school is gonna take up a lot of Q1 but you can expect a post jam update for SlavJank(settings menu, controller support, fixes for unintentional jank, more sounds and possibly a health pack to keep you going if you survive for long enough) and minor progress on Downlink.

 I've used what I learned while making SlavJank to make a lot of internal improvements to Downlink and I think I am finally at the point where I can start doing levels for it and for such an occasion I thought of remaking the Matrix lobby shootout or maybe a layout of the first level of a boomer shooter done in the office setting.

Also you can always add me on discord if you'd like! I'm not very active in E1M1 server or really most servers I am in because I'm not good with crowds, love the people there but can't help but to feel a little intimidated sometimes y' know.
