I could easily recommend the game even for people who don't know the jam.
Ultra thumbs up for the fantastic soundtrack. It gives some real DOOM vibes.
My personal best score:

The music is incredible too.
Congratulation to the team :)
The music was nearing perfection. The mysterious opening loop instantly catches your attention, then we've got a smooth transition into a more aggressive track which fits the action packed gameplay, same when we die, a smooth transition and a new loop that fits. The sfx also were good.
Art was nice, especially the vfx that helped a lot giving the game its juice.
There's a few thing that could have been improved though :
- We don't see the floor below & have no way to anticipate where we will fall. It means we can fall on top of enemies and take damage with no way to avoid it, which is frustrating.
- Most SFX are badly spatialized and come from either only left or right side, which sounds weird. They should come more left/right but still be heard on the other side, especially if the sound is close.
- It lacks a leaderboard. Leaderboards are kind of a must have for scoring games, and are not hard to implement, even online ones as tools exist to make it easy (here's one i've used in a previous LD : http://plassion.com/rank/ takes few mins to setup & implement).
Still a very fun & satisfying game regardless of the small issues.
In terms of gameplay it seems like it would be fun if not for the fact that it seems to boil down to "fall and pray". I have to say the gun is pretty satisfying to shoot, regardless, though. :D
