Good graphics and sound. I went through the game completely and destroyed Hades :) The game is interesting, but rather monotonous in terms of game mechanics. I would add more weapons or diversify the attacks of opponents, and also add simple puzzles for a break between battles.

Excellent! ^^ very addictive, graphics and audio are perfect, "bonus point 10,000"? haha. very fun game had a blast playing! 5/5 well made :)
Love the game. There were times i found it to be a bit too easy. I think adding more ranged enemies would shift the balance as right now i think there are too many melee enemies, and they didnt really feel like they posed much of a threat.
Additionally i think adding a weapon that doesnt require ammo would be a nice fitting addition. I ran out of ammo in the middle of a level and almost couldnt find some. (thank goodness for the ammo dogs)
The boss fight was cool, and i think if multiple enemies spawned in (like 2 max) on the edges of the room, it would be a bit more challenging. Boss did kinda feel like a bullet sponge, but was really cool nonetheless.
Great job!
Pretty great game, love it all.
Game was boring at level 1 and was too long to start feeling like the game was becoming difficult.
This is really fun to play, but as was mentioned by someone the game is too easy, you should add more difficulties (faster enemies, do more damage). Check my game btw.
Absolutely wonderful little game. The asethetic is super charming. I can feel there's a lot of Heretic/Hexen inspiration with this one.
Things I liked:
- The sprite work is incredible. There's such a huge cast of crazy looking enemies, and the colour-pallets for the environments are super enchanting.
- Animations are great. I espesically love the death animations for enemies. They're all very visceral.
- Its a really subtle thing - but the slight head lean while strafing was a really nice little addition. It certainly made the movement feel way better than it could have.
Improvements
- I feel like none of the enemies really pose any threat. All of them are quite slow, and a lot of them (if not all of them) are melee enemies, meaning that they can very easily and safely be taken out from a distance. I would've loved to see more enemies who throw projectiles.
There's honestly not a lot of negative things I can say about this one. This game has mad potential to be a winning candidate!
Fun game with a great aesthetic, the sprite work on 3-4's enemies were my favorite!
I thoroughly enjoyed this game! The graphics, controls, and especially the gameplay is great! This is an awesome game, congrats!
