Fix the camera, there is no reason in a platformer for the camera to lag behind the main players movement. Otherwise, it works fine and is enjoyable enough.

It's a cool game, the music is incredible and the mechanics are fine.
I think i found a bug, when i used the portal, the zombies on the other side were doing alot of noise(really disconfortable) and they were immortal, or very hard to kill, then ignoring some zombies the game crashed.

@boargames The final boss has a health of 30. We've playtested this a bit, and found some of these bugs. Once LD46 is over, We'll patch the game. By the way, the program we used to create the music is called SoundTrap. There are some great royalty free HQ music loops to use for your game. We went for a Doom/Metal vibe in this one. we're glad you enjoyed this game. We'll make sure to keep you posted once we patch this game. For the sound, we'll try my best to fix some issues, as we realize some sound effects could be really annoying after being repeatedly heard. How was the overall experience, did you beat the game? Thank you so much for reviewing our game!

@infinitycore Thanks for the feedback! We followed a tutorial about the camera, and intentionally went for a delayed follow. We'll experiment a bit with a locked-state camera for the player. We'll keep you posted for any updates.

Hello nice game !
in my opinion, you should reduce the delay, I left the screen several time ^^
The control fell great to me. The sprites of the player and zombies are great but i don't really like the ground or the background.
But Overall well done

feel free to test my game as well :3

Yeah, the camera is the source of most of the issues. When going downwards or backwards, you can literally see nothing :\ And for a this fast paced game, a larger vision would be good as well.

But I like the feel, a sidescroller heavy metal doom shooter :D

@tudvari Thanks for the feedback! We're not familiar with the rules of Ludum Dare, though we'd love to patch some of the issues. We'll make sure to patch these issues shown after this rating period though. Thanks for playing!

@rodi Thanks for playing! We've gotten some negative feedback for the camera, but thanks for also giving us feedback about the tiles. We'll make sure to play your game!

The camera is a pretty big problem, since it lags behind the player. Sometimes, you can almost take the player offscreen. Other than that, it almost feels like a side-scroller version of DOOM.

Thanks for the feed back @broken-robot-studios. We're not familiar with the rules of game jams, but can we patch the game during the rating period? Thanks for the feedback, we've also gotten lots of feedback about the camera. We'll make sure to fix it as well as expand its field of view so the player knows what's going on.

@xeno-software I could not beat the game, as it crashed on the seconds portal with the multiple zombies.I'll soon try again the game.
Also, thanks for the sounds recomendation, my team created sounds for the first time in this JAM, but they were very simple and we didn't invest alot of time, we'll check this SoundTrap!

The game is fun and interesting, and the art is good and so is the audio but there are a few problems.
The first problem is the camera, it would slowly follow behind the player, which forced me to go slow sometimes so the camera could keep up with the.
Second, the controls felt slippery at times, the player's speed was way too fast.
And I did run into some minor bugs, the first one came up when I died while a bullet hit an enemy, the audio started to glitch out and overlap each other making a loud noise.
Other than this, you did great, keep up the great work

@nanoarch Thanks for giving us feedback! We'vereceived lots of feedback about the camera. We did try our best to do better platformer movement. However, we did run into a glitch during playtesting in the engine that sometimes everything in the game would speed up (player and enemy speed), maybe you ran into that glitch? It didn't happen to us while playtesting, but we'll try our best to fix these glitches. Thanks for playing!

Hi! Nice work! I want to make a video with the best games of LDJam46. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOdTsWE7iIk .
Can I find your game also on indiexpo website? The channel is linked with them.

@torh That is a SICK video, love the editing! Will we be included in this video? The Indiexpo site isn't working when we tried to upload our game on there, but our game is on itch.io. We'll try to upload the game, and we'll contact you on this thread once we can get our game on Indiexpo. Keep up the great videos!

Edit: We got our game onto Indiexpo! Thanks for giving us this opportunity! We couldn't find out how to make our game playable in browser, so we posted Windows and Mac download links.

Got a handle on the controls and it was pretty fun to play, i dig the parallax background, only gripe is the darned camera didn't like going backward very much! haha.

Love the homage to Halo. Humorous take on the theme haha. Well done!

This game makes you feel like Master Chief.

@sadsmile @zesix So glad you liked it! We came up with the name Chiefdoom because we kind of wanted a Doom vibe and we based our player off of Master Chief. Thanks so much!

@daniel-thomas Thank you so much for playing our game! We've received lots of complaints about the camera, and I'll take full responsibility for not putting enough work into the camera script. We'll patch the game after the rating part, and we'll keep you posted for any updates. We'll also be posting some updates about our game's glitches on our Twitter here @SoftwareXeno.

I was fighting the camera about as much as the zombies, but I thought this was a really nice effort. The blood splat effects were nice and cartoonish, and there's a certain charm to the simplicity of 'run to screen right and shoot zombies'
Well done on this, and good luck for the future!

@boargames We want to thank you for your feedback, and thanks for playing. However, we have a favor to ask of you. Could you send us a screen recording of you playing our game up to the point where you describe the glitches (preferably with audio)? Thanks so much!

Nice game. The camera is a bit slow. And the lack of juicy sound when you hit someone or get hit was lackluster.

Otherwise a fun game and concept

@henwee Yeah true, we'll try to fix that. Thanks for giving us this feedback and playing our game! We'll be posting some updates on our Twitter @SoftwareXeno

Wow what an song! Tight bassline. I had some fun with the game, but default controls probably should be set differently. Maybe jump to SPACE instead of W? Nice sprite also for the player character.

@rojola Thanks so much for playing! We'll be changing and patching some problems/bugs which we'll release on our itch.io after the rating period for LD46. We're glad you like the music and sprites, for the music we used a tool called SoundTrap which has royalty free loops you can throw together to make your song. Thanks for your feedback, and we'll be posting updates for this game (about patches and stuff) on our Twitter @SoftwareXeno.

Good game but I continuosly miss time to save the earth waiting for the camera to focus the character. But overall it's a really good entry :)

@laura-del-pino We've received lots of criticism about the camera. We're posting updates about this game and some updates we'll be giving it after the rating period of Ludum Dare. We've been looking for playtesters to experiment with this new build, so tweet at us @SoftwareXeno if you're interested in playtesting. Thanks for playing!
