Best in humor for me so far :D love how the characters are all just people gifs, and the children are especially hilarious. I would've liked a clearer indication of when I was taking damage, I didn't even notice sometimes.

So Funny! Loved the mood and graphics in the game! I'm a big fan the the Full motion video effects. I can definitely relate to the anxiety of shopping. Great audio as well. I like the juxtaposition of the calm bossa nova music with the rock music inside the shop. Congratulations!

Awesome idea for a game jam. I admire the commitment to getting dressed up for the live action cinematics too!

HAAAAAA! I absolutely adore the cutscenes! It looks like you all had a great time making this game, and it's a lot of fun too! Great work.

That was super funny! I ran around for a couple minutes at what I thought was the end though...was there an end? I got confused and just quit after a while. It was a blast getting there though

@colbymakesgames This happened to my buddy Erik

@jakobthequizguy We really wanted to get a hit indicator in but ran out of time, though I'm wondering if a small QOL feature is acceptable to add in after the fact alongside bugfixes?

@100th-coin The cutscenes were incredibly fun to make! I've been looking for an excuse to make an FMV since I started doing the Ludum Dare and I'm so happy a chance finally came up

@chris1919 There is an end! The keycards eventually unlock the final blue door at the start which takes you to a final boss fight. Glad you enjoyed it!

WHAT.
THE.
WHAT.

You should have seen me in front on my screen. First, the beginning cutscene appeared, and I was like "Oh wow, this is cringe, I guess it's one of *these* games".

Then, the game started, and OH BOY, everything made sense.

Of course, it was not cringe. It was GLORIOUS. I was just too hopeless to believe in such a masterpiece, but DAMN. I don't know what happened in your mind to come up with such an idea, but WOW.

Here are a few little points of improvement here and there, but nothing too serious :
- As it has been said, a hit indicator would have been nice ^^
- I don't get the Security guards attack... Do they just hit from anywhere ? Is it avoidable ?
- The relationship with the theme only influences the graphical aspect (a lady in a mall, a "rage" meter instead of "health") but not the gameplay itself.

Congratulations on this mind-blowing entry. I think I need to take a break before continuing reviewing games, I still didn't come back from yours.

That was quite an experience. I do love the good old shooters and this is a great homage to them ^^. I love the videos and the sprites. All in all, fantastic!

OMG! What i just played! Nice idea for a jam. A lot of fun while playing and i think no less fun when creating!
This videos lifted the spirits and set the necessary atmosphere.

This game definitely made me chuckle. I especially liked the silly voice lines to add to the doomish ambiance. Nice work!

Love that tune, sounds like a Motoi Sakuraba jam! Fun graphics as well. I just can't say no to cutscenes in an LD game.

@caeonosphere It's so good you said that; I also told Erik early on it sounded like Blood on the Keys from Star Ocean 4, a game Motoi Sakuraba also composed the music for

I love doom, digitized sprites, FMVs. This game is awesome.
(I would make it so the security guys do not hitscan from far, but it's minor)

That art style is awesome. Retro vibes! Would be nice to have some feedback when the play successfuly hit enemy, because it's not obvious.

Great job, very unique entry!

This game does a good job at replicating the intricacies of Doom, like the bobbing animation, or how enemies have sprites for different viewing angles. I was not expecting that intro cutscene.

I can appreciate how silly these enemies are; however, I think the security guard enemy is a bit too difficult. It took me a while, after losing twice, but I did end up getting the keycards and beating the game. I liked how whimsical the boss fight was, but I wasn't a fan of the lack of an ending of some sort.

The music is alright, though the in-game music is a little quiet. Also, this game kinda takes a back seat to the theme.

Ultimately, I think you all did a pretty good job!

NICE

I'd love more shot/hit detect feedback, I have no idea when my shots/hit land

Concept is just freaking perfect 10/10 !
I really love all the little details you put into characters, sound, ambiance.

This old school doom view with the little head of grandma down in the middle.
Really loved that game :D
