Nice Game and very original! I really like the easthetics and casual aspect of it. I found the rotation a little difficult to control. I may suggest a "mouse-look" to improve control in a future version :)
Hey thanks for taking time to play my game and give great feedback. Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for models or music. That was my first stab at a TowerDefense type game, so I learned a lot :) Thanks for the great pointers, I'll definitely take them into consideration for my next games and maybe include them if I continue working on this project on the side. Thanks!
Fun game, I enjoyed playing the game and felt the urge of quickly reaching the objective. The theme is consistent and the fact the level is lit for a few seconds before the timer starts strikes a good balance with challenge level.
Controls may be improved a little (unless they are done like this by design) it is easy to get stuck on a corner and lose the level because of this.
Awesome music, it did a great job at setting the ambiance
Great graphics, it was easy to identify the protagonist and enemies, nice job on walking animations
Gives a great retro feeling when combining both graphics and music
The difficulty was well balanced as I must have died like 10 times before I got the hang of the controls. It did get the feeling of playing one of those tough NES games when I was a kid.
Level was a good size and really enjoyable. Took about 10 minutes to get to the final boss and really got a kick at fighting the huge ghost.
The bad:
Controls are a bit un-intuitive, but well mitigated with instructions on the web page (had to go back and read to find how to shoot). Might I suggest including the instructions for controls on the home screen.
Shooting backwards is really challenging/quirky, as even facing back, the hero is shooting forward. You really need to walk backwards in order to shoot to the left.
At times the level felt disorienting especially in long corridors when there was no features to get a visual point of reference. I would suggest adding features (holes?) in the lower portion of the screen or in the background. (I totally understand we have to limit the scope/features due to time constraints during a game jam!)
Final thoughts:
Although it had some minor flaws, I really enjoyed playing the game. Great game!

Thanks!! I definitely learned A LOT. Found myself cutting 60% of the content to finish it in time and have a little sanity left to go to work tomorrow :)
Nice game. Reminds me of old text based adventure games. The graphics and ambiance certainly makes a strong impact. Found myself playing longer than expected and always wanting to get a little further. I will certainly come back to it later. Also helps raise awareness on suicide.
