Thanks for making a video of my game! Hope you enjoyed playing it!

Hi! Let me introduce myself a bit, my name is Ricardo and I'm a professional Game Developer with 9+ years of experience, and i also released one of my games on steam, and i'm still developing it...

So... I've played your game, and while i think it has potential to be good. It definitely has a lot of very important issues that you need to address before you publish it fully on steam (i think you said it's already available there, but the only thing i can do is Wishlist it)

So first of all, the controls are actually kinda horrendous, using the Arrow Keys, while you use the mouse it's honestly horrible, almost no game nowadays controls like this and there's a reason for that, when having your hands that close to each other, one on the keys and one on the mouse, it can cause some pain on your shoulders on the long run, and it's just not comfortable. Instead i recommend you to just use the traditional control scheme of WASD for moving, and Mouse to aim and shoot, that way it's much more comfortable for the player.

Another thing is the "Game Feel" which i don't know if you know that game design concept... But it's basically how the game FEELS to play, right now your game feels pretty lifeless, when you shoot, there's no sound, in fact there's barely any sound at all outside of the music, which makes the game feel very non-rewarding at all, making it really boring. Games are based on reward, if you don't give that reward or satisfaction, the game is just gonna be extremely boring to play, no matter what. I recommend you watch this video of GameMaker's Toolkit about game feel and juice, it really was very informative for me at the time:

Outside of all of that, the game is not that bad actually, the game feels fair, it never feels like i died because of luck. It always feels like i died because of my fault, which is GOOD. So honestly, i think if you fix those issues, you're game it's gonna probably be much much better, obviously it still lacks some things. But it'll definitely be much more enjoyable.

And also, don't take this review very personal, i understand you are a beginner at this, and I'm really happy to have more people interested in game development, as much as i was when i started, I'm just saying this because i want you to get better at this, and make great games! 

I recommend you to watch the videos of GameMaker's Toolkit (the creator of the video i attached), because it has some amazing game design videos that are REALLY useful for beginners, it's probably one of the best in that area.

So have a great day, and happy game making! 👻

I'm glad you like it! Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the gameplay and feedback! It's really appreciated 👁️

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

Thanks for playing my game! I really appreciate it 😊

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I really appreciate it :D

I really agree with what you said, the game isn't perfect, but honestly i just wanted to have some fun doing it. It was a long time since i published a game hahaha.

Again, thank you so much!

Thanks! 😄

Esta muy cool! Muy original

Really cool game! I love it.

Thanks dude! I'm happy you enjoy it :)

Yeah, i did later.

Congrats dude lmao.

Thanks mate! I'm glad you like it :)

Obrigado!

Nice! I'm happy you enjoyed it :)

Really simple, but really well designed and fun!

I found this game in a collection called "Fun sfw games" Lmao.

Hey! Your game's name is exactly the same as the name of one of my game series xD. 

Nothing much really, i just find it funny.

Really well done! It really feels like a game from that era.

You're using your own engine!??!? Damn, that's badass! Almost any indie uses an external engine, good luck with that dude!

It's simple and fun, though the art is kinda ugly. And i would've also liked a little bit more game feel.

Not bad really!

Wtf am i playing.

Amazing lmao.

Really fun to play! I love it.

Ooh, alright. Again, look's really cute, congrats!

Look's really cute! What game do you have in mind?

Man! This game rocks! I don't see any flaws other than the optimization, which could be better. But still, great game!

Thanks! And... yes 😎

Thanks! The soldiers move with the same keys, so you could say that they're "joined together"

Interesting game! It was quite strange to pick up maybe, a tutorial would have been great. But anyway, good work!

Thanks!

The game is really good, the only minor flaw i see it's that it gets old really quickly, it would have been awesome if it were shorter. But overall, really good submission!

Thanks for the review! I'm glad you like it!

Stupidly silly, i like it 👍

I love this game! It's really well designed. Good work!

For being made in just 5 hours, it's actually pretty decent!

Really interesting and simple, good for killing some minutes!
