I could 100% see the (much) younger me having a great time playing with that looked like this. I think the other comments talking about the camera are right, it could be better but this is a jam, everything could be better and I think it's perfectly serviceable once you get used to it. Shooting is fun, enemy designs are really good and it's a nice way to include the theme as well.

I feel this might've been going for a bit of a Megaman in 3D thing. Kind of like legends, but distinct from it for sure. You nailed that whole toy aesthetic with the massive room and bright colors.\n\nI gotta agree with others about the camera, something about it feels a little off about it. I'd suggest having the option to invert the vertical camera control. Another thing is I wish there was some kind of reaction animation and sound effect to getting struck by those enemies.\n\nThose aren't damning criticisms at all, I absolutely love this game. Ya'll have a very competently put together third person shooter here, and in a very short amount of time. That's really impressive! :thumbsup: ","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1070222,"author_name":"Huitre","author_uid":"huitre","epoch":1713751785,"text":"You have a good base for a fun little action game here!
