First of all the lighting was really poor, so it was hard to tell where the edges of the levels were.
Secondly, starting the game in a narrow hallway with enemies both in front and behind you makes it frustrating to start out because sometimes they'll leap straight onto you before you even have a chance to try and get past them.
Thirdly an ammo counter should definitely be included in this game because it's annoying as hell to run out of ammo and have to run all the way back to respawn without being able to shoot - having an ammo counter would allow the player to plan their route back to the ammo cave ahead of time. And fourth there are some random ramps in this level that seem to serve no purpose, as you can't really move up them because them cut your speed right down. The ramps also render from one side only, so there were quite a few times where I got stuck running into something even though it appeared as if nothing was in front of me.
And lastly I had the same issue with the sound as I had for your entry in LD39, so the audio wasn't working for me.
But nice job making another game like this, it definitely stands out from the crowd!

I did like everything else about the game, especially the lighting (and how it changed after you killed the first two enemies). This is quite a feat for a 72 hour jam. Nice work!
The engine is written to be portable and I can port it to windows from linux because I have a windows machine. I do not have a mac to compile on so I cannot make a mac build.
