Going through the door changes how you play!
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes I did

I really liked the game! I wasn't expecting it to turn into a DOOM game all of the sudden, but I can't complain at all. The graphics and the music all felt very retro and I think you hit the nail the head with this one.
The only real complain I have is that maybe it would have been better if there were checkpoints before or after every 3d room, as after loosing, its a long way to reach the room where you lost.
Besides that, really solid game!
I didn't expect to play doom. Fun game!
PS please checkpoints to make falling less frustrating

Intrigue in the shadowssuper cool interpretation of whats behind the door! i never would have guessed it was basically a different game XD keep up the good work, it was a lot of fun

The Trial of JanusLoved the concept, very doom like. Could be a little forgiving on the overheating part. Overall, great job!

ReminiscenceThat was super fun. I was surprised when I went through the first first door and found myself in a doom-like. Great job overall.

SpellslingerThe perspective change got me, I didn't expect that at all! Cool Doom style shooter, with some nice tunes to annihilate the aliens, well done 👍

Behind The DoorReally like how it changes from 2D platformer to 3D doom style shooter. Love the vibe and pixel visuals. My only suggestion is to have some checkpoints at the platforming parts, having to restart from scratch was a bit inconvenient but that might just be me. Overall, well done!

Doorway DynamoI like how you combine 2d platformer shooter and 3D FPS. The vibe is there, a retro FPS game. The sound is great. But I think the difficulty curve is a little too steep, maybe it's just me, when there are a lot of enemies, I don't have enough space to avoid enemies yet the weapon is having a cool down. Overall, this a solid game, great job!!!

I gotta peeI love the mix between 2D Platformer and 3D Shooter. Great game, well done!

Dread Behind DoorsLike everyone else said, switching from 2D to 3D was unexpected and interesting! The graphics are simplistic, but they kind of take me back to my days of making basic 3D games in GameMaker.
Lots of stuff could be tightened up for sure, but overall it was an enjoyable playthrough.
Diagonal circle strafe to win!

Doors to PawradiseI was expecting something different but I really liked it. Kinda reminds me of a game.
But the next big question is: Can it run Distant Past?!

Spin To UnknownChanging between 2D to 3D is cool, I did not expect that. The 2D part still needs some work but the 3D part is good just need a better crosshair to help us aim better. I think you have a great idea for a game here. Great job.

Contained Stargood game but I hope if the character was animated and there was a crosshair showing where the bullet will go and the physics was a little good in 2d (it's so floaty and I had a glitch where the moving platform was moving to the direction I was moving at which made the jump from a moving platform to another very hard and i had to retry) and I dunno but the weapon overheat was a little annoying to me but good game overall.

Curiosity problemI really like the 2D to 3D idea. The creatures looks awesome as well!
Submitted
Behind The DoorThe combination of 2D and 3D is a really nice idea and i always dig games that do it. Though i gotta say there is still some polishing to do in terms of visual presentation, some lighting effects go a long way in games with this style. Gameplay felt a bit clunky but was overall ok. I really missed a crosshair in the 3D sections (or it was just barely noticable). Sometimes there were some hit registration issues (enemies didnt take dmg despite me clearly hitting them). Overall you should be proud with what you did. I hope you keep your promise to play all games that rated yours ;)
