This game just reminded me of a game that I love it!

MAFIA
Idk but for a reason I can see the enemies to be like sent by Morello and that I make again one of Salieri's jobs!!!
OR
The people are sent by Salieri to kill me (like the last part of the game)

This game reminded of Mafia and I just started to replay it and again to enjoy it!!!
I LOVE THIS GAME FOR REMINDING ME OF MAFIA!!!

I don't want you to think that just cause it reminded me of Mafia I say I love it cause there are others thinks too!
I like the design it fits the game perfectlly and those notes in the music it makes you really feel the sadness!!!
I also liked that you have more weapons and that with the shotgun you can't have it forever! I like the balancing, while tbh I like the gun than the knife or the bat, cause yk you can just shoot and no more go near the enemy!
The game feels really polished and the controls don't feel sloppy at all, when you pressed a control the control does what it should do, which this is a big plus!!!

THIS IS A PEAK GAME!!!!
I ENJOYED EVERY SECOND WHILE PLAYING IT!!!
Even if I have some skill isue.....
This is my highscore:

I know I really have a skill isue!!!
Trust me this game is PEAK!!!! I AM SO HAPPY THAT A GAME LIKE THIS IS IN THE JAM!!!


W GAME!!!
(If I made any typos I am sorry I did them cause I am so happy and this game brought so much joy!!! I LOVE IT!!!)

Thank you so much for your kind words! Reaally appreciated! I am a big fan of the mafia series too. I wanted to capture some of that feel. Thanks for noticing! <3

I love the intro framing story--it really intrigued me, and I think the concept of a twin-stick shooter with a heart is fantastic. Some notes, because I care and think this project was cool and could be even cooler: 

1) The initial intrigue of that story (and your fantastic thumbnail) led me to hope that the gameplay that followed would continue the story in some way. Not that I didn't like the twin-stick shooter, but it isn't nearly as exciting as a twin-stick shooter where your actions are called into question somehow, or the daughter you just kissed goodnight stumbles into the scene, or... something. If you're only going for "this is the inevitable end for this guy," I still think it needs something (even just a snapshot or a couple lines of text!) at the end to connect his death back to the story. Because that story is great!

2) I think the pacing of the shooter could be accelerated quite a bit, because it was not very challenging for the first 9-10 waves. 

3) You start with one of the best weapons in the game and are prompted to swap it for a knife and a bat long before any other gunmen show up, which felt kind of off. 

4) This one is suuuper nitpicky--the camera felt a *tad* too slow in following the character's movement.

All that aside, the shooting was fun, the enemies were interestingly varied (did they move at different speeds? It felt like they did and that felt awesome), and I think this is a great entry. :)

WOW

It's... yeah, it's sad. And truly heartbreaking. The visuals, the short preamble, and the music were a perfect combination for the purpose of evoking emotions.

Talking about the game itself, it was an incredible experience.  Very well polished, simple, and beautiful at the same time.

If you want some points that would improve the experience:

1. There's no pause, and the main menu. It is not that critical, given that this is a jam game, but I couldn't stop it when needed.

2. It's actually possible not to pick up any weapon at all: a pistol has endless ammunition, and it's actually much easier to kill mafia members with it rather than melee.

3. It was difficult to hit the enemies with melee. Almost every time I successfully did that, I was hit too.

Developer

Thank you for such a detailed review! Really appreciated.
