Recoil by saucygames
Play as a prisoner in a deadly game of survival, against a horde of robots!
Prototype version for Ludum Dare 39.
LMB for thumper canon;
RMB for mini gun; We didn't really make it to the theme in this version. But the overall idea of it is to regain energy by killing enemies while you are constantly losing and using your own energy. (That's what the watch is for).
We also made the only way to die in this build by lava for prototype purposes. We plan to continue working on this game and reach a full release on itch.io.

It has the potential to be a fun game of gauntlet, so keep it up!
Put a crosshair
Do not limit the resolution
Give the player a reason to go on the moving platforms
Make variation on enemies behavior so the player doesn't end up running only backward and shoot. That's a direct consequence of enemies only following the player.
Head bobing is way too exaggerated (i would say you used the fps controller of unity but with a wrong scale)
Other than that, nice game!
