The movement was quite difficult to master, since the player moves depending of its own forward vector and not the world space vector, so you always have to check where your player is aiming to know how to move, or use the mouse to shoot somewhere... anyway, this was the bad point in my opinion but it's okay, it didn't make the game not enjoyable.
Liked the graphics and feedback too ! It was shaking a bit too much but that was great !

And I mean just that dance animation at the start with the music haha!
I have a question though: Did you really make this (especially the music) yourself and during the time of the event (and not before), because if you have for example got the music from someone else or it was made outside of the competition time, you should have opted out of this category.
If you did make all the music and stuff within the time of the competition, take my doubt as a compliment, if not however, you should opt out of these categories. (Go to my game, edit, and choose the apropiate checkboxes)
Graphics and sound are very well made and chosen. But the screenshake and blur are just too heavy. I cannot play this game without getting crazy :sweat_smile: Your controls are, in my opinion, not very intuitiv. I did not expext the behavior of movement in the way it is implemented. Although it makes sense, if you look from the ego perspective of your playercharacter.
I had to laugh when i saw the dancing dude in the main menu :smile:
@jelbre I've done that, thanks for informing me :smile:
The game has a great presentation, but is somewhat shallow in content.
The game is enjoyable right from the start (that menu!) and the over-the-top punch-in-the-face gameplay was complemented by angry dubstep perfectly. As mentioned before, the bloom effect was too much and the controls were a little off. I think it would be nicer to control the absolute position of your character instead of his relative rotation.
Shooting was really satisfying but there was no feedback when a NPC was dead.
Congrats !
Please do check my game maybe you’ll like it and leave some feedback.
