I really wish the player had a lil dotted line to indicate what the shot's direction would be, because a lot of the time I'd feel myself getting screwed over because my shot didn't shoot where I thought it'd be. But other than that I absolutely love the atmosphere it was proper unnerving, you were able to make a really effective visual presentation without needing to go too crazy with creating assets which is very impressive! As a more minor note I think it woulda been cool if the jumpscare image was bug related since those lil dudes were the ones spookifying the player

Scariest bugs I've ever encountered.
Would have liked the camera to be pulled out a tiny bit further. It felt like the player moves too close to the edge of the screen when moving in certain directions.
Really fun experience. Super thankful for the loud noises warning :)

Catastrophe at SeaThe controls are a bit sensitive. It was not clear to me what the goal of the game is. There was no music.
However, the game was programmed well, and it seemed to work as planned

One Bit Game Jam Space ShooterThe atmosphere is good but the scares are too predictable and frequent. I ran into a bug without realizing 10 seconds in and was just confused not scared. When the light went out and I could hear the crying women that was really good atmosphere and genuinely spooky. I think with some changes to the pacing of the jumpscares this could be really scary!
Oh also playing in the browser I accidentally clicked off the game about 10 times because the cursor didn't get locked
