Nice job on your first game jam submission! Making games, especially 3D ones, in such a short period of time is no easy task, so you should be proud of what you've put together. I especially liked the low-poly aesthetic and the way the light reflects when you move the camera. The models, animations, and set pieces all looked great and were well implemented!

I played to the end (at least, I think it was the end - I couldn't find any more enemies to defeat), and I can think of a few small tweaks that would make the game feel better as a player:

  • Since you're only controlling one character in this game, it would make more sense to automatically have them selected so that the player doesn't have to do that.
  • Indicators of who's getting hit and when would be super helpful. I couldn't tell if some of my shots were landing or not because there was no change visually or audibly. A sound effect, blood particles, a different animation, or a flash of light/screen shake are all different and (relatively) easy ways to help the player make sense of what's happening.
  • I felt like the player's run speed wasn't much faster than the walk speed, and it made the character look like he was slipping on ice instead of running.
  • A win/lose screen and an easy way to reset the game are all very helpful. I had to reopen your game every time I died so I could try again, which can be frustrating to some.

This is a really great start to game making, though, and I hope you continue to enter more game jams in the future!

Oh, one final thing - it's been a while since I've used Unity, but there should be a way to export a game so that it doesn't have to be installed. Personally, I don't like installing game jam games because I have to uninstall them immediately after and it slows down the process of playtesting. Happy game making!

Thank you very much  for your kind words and your advice. Some of the things you mentioned I simply didn't have time to implement because, even tho it wasn't the first game I have ever made it was the first one I developed with the time restriction a game jam provides. It was definitely an experience and I have learned how to manage my time better in situations like these. I might even improve on this one if I have the time.

Thank you again and happy jamming!
