Hoooo shit this is really genuinely cool. I feel like there's a lot you can do with the underwater thing. Having all of the sounds be muted and subtle really emphasized the feel of it all, and being able to rocketjump with your starting weapon made me giggle like a child.

Started impressing with the opening menu, kept impressing through the game, and left me wanting more! I hope to see more! Keep it up, Friend!

I have played quite a few of the 7dfps games and you have my favorite concept! Playing as a Mantis Shrimp!? Wow! Nice mechanics, and awesome menu screen as well. My only design note is in regards to the physical nature of Mantis' Shrimp's eyes: they have the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom and can see things we humans cannot imagine! I liked the underwater feel of the game and I think playing with the idea of the UV, infrared, and mystifying waveforms of light would be a cool sci-fi addition to the game that emphasizes the player being a Mantis Shrimp. (Cool player model as well!)

Thank you so much for playing and your comments! Really happy you enjoyed it :D


Yeah you're right I did want to add some sort of UV/Infrared system because there is a lot of potential to make some cool stuff with that which I would definitely focus on if I continue with the project! Due to the time I mainly focused on the player feel and the models.


Again thank you for playing and giving a comment!

Also want to shout out the underwater sound design, it had a good filtered effect.
