Getting Old by erkerkiii
Getting Old
How long can you evade getting old and eventually dying?
The game is about a person who tries to stay as young as possible by killing reapers who try to age them.
I made this game with my wife and my friend. I did the coding part, my wife did the 2D and my friend worked on the 3D environment.
Use WASD to move and left-click to shoot!
You can drop stuff by killing reapers who try to age you!

Nicely done!
Even with that in mind however, it's a decent effort. Well done!
I found it a bit hard to aim at the right place, but I think it was moreso due to my ultra-wide screen. It was fun though, it could go in a lot of directions. The characters do look a bit like kids though (with guns) so something to think about, heh.
Good luck and keep it up, love that you and your wife worked on it, how fun!
Anyways, great take on inevitability. Thank you for submitting. Great work!
Some music really would have added to the mood.
Good job with this one overall!
Points of critique: the camera needs to show more of the scene, otherwise the player cannot anticipate obstacles and enemies; the gun sounds need more juice; adding cooldowns to pistol-like weapons is not a good idea. it should shoot as fast as you can click.
