Really impressive lighting and modeling work here! Best feature by far is breaking the boxes and boulders. That was really satisfying!\n\nThe them was implemented well with only having a small level to survive in. Although after a while the level became a bit boring and repetitive. Maybe if the game is developed further you can add in a wave system where after completing for example 5 waves you can move to another small arena. This will give a bit more variety I think. \n\nThe music was fitting but the standout for the audio was the enemy sounds. They are chilling which added to quite the tense vibe. \n\nAll in all fantastic job!

One thing that was a bit annoying was the shooting because it felt like it didn't really shoot where I was pointing, it was off to the right a bit. Not sure how to explain it. Also I wanted to shoot the monsters over at their spawn but it would not let me because of the collider, I think you should let the players be able to shoot them there too:D Overall great game!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1002643,"author_name":"chompdev","author_uid":"chompdev","epoch":1696386718,"text":"Really nice models and lighting!

It was quite simple, and I really don't get how the theme plays much of a part here at all -- but it honestly was really fun for how much time you had to put it together, and I'd see that as a success! :3\n\nNo mouse cursor in the web version really bugged me, I'm assuming it has something to do with a custom cursor in the PC build?
