Another thing is that the infestation should be like behind the player and ruining the door the unleash the enemy from behind would make the experience more exciting than having to rushing before the floor is lava.

I also like the graphics and sound effects. Some pain points\/nitpicks:\n\n- Some sound effect or a visual hint that I'm getting hurt would be helpful. One time I was down to 25% of health but I didn't even notice when that happened.\n- The floor infestation thing could be a blocker. On my first playthrough, I had nowhere to go, because the red thing covered the only path forward, since I was habitually first exploring the rest of the pathways.\n- There was never really any shortage of ammo, so there was little point in having the ammo be finite. As was previously mentioned, reloading could pose a challenge instead. Things can get hectic very quickly though, so if implemented, it should be balanced carefully.\n- The shotgun was, IMHO, a lot less powerful than the assault rifle, so I didn't use it.\n- I had to be careful with the mouse cursor to prevent it from slipping to the second monitor. It would be better if it was locked to the game.\n\nOverall, very nice entry :thumbsup:","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1018142,"author_name":"LDJam user 375578","author_uid":"375578","epoch":1696763419,"text":"Wow, cool \ud83d\ude0e","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1024308,"author_name":"EgorMnc","author_uid":"egormnc","epoch":1697294688,"text":"The game is interesting, it was quite nice to play it, keep working on it and everything will be cool","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1025225,"author_name":"Phillips Albright","author_uid":"phillips-albright","epoch":1697387129,"text":"Really great game.
