Very fun, I enjoyed it on my stream.

However, at the start of the game I could barely hear the voice over because the music was too loud. Not a deal breaker, but I couldn't figure out it was a corrupt government.

Also enemies clumped together. It probably would be more fun if enemies spread around you instead of heading towards the same area.

Still though I enjoy that there is leader boards, the animations, the voice overs. The fact that the entire game world feels immersive. Thanks for submitting! Good job!

Really cool idea with the third person bullet hell, and the cinematics were really good! The bullets were a bit more harder to dodge though, maybe make the bullets slower?

THE INTRO SCENE IS SO NICE! I feel it was a bit to hard at first, but once you know the strategy, its so easy. I was able to get into the leaderboards using this strat, and I was going for 69420 kills, BUT I GOT 69421! I was so pissed. The leaderboards on its own, is my favorite thing about this game. It really adds incentive to try harder. Also, I wish there was a way to change your name. But whatever XD

Haha thanks and well done! I have no idea how you got a score that high, but NICE. xD

All the cinematic elements for a game jam were super impressive! And the theme, world and aesthetic in general were great! Very cheesy but in the best of ways, I dug the voice over and soundtrack especially! I've not seen a lot of third person bullet hell games, and this makes me want to see more exploration of it! I found the mouse sensitivity to be a bit too high, and it would have been nice to feel like I could dodge the enemy bullets somehow, they seemed too fast to try and negotiate around like in a more traditional bullet hell. This is awesome though! Do you plan on carrying it on? I think it's got a lot of potential.

Thank you so much! I really should have added a sensitivity option in the settings, it didn't even cross my mind! I guess I didn't really create it to work well on each system, because these aren't really issues on my end xD. But once again thank you, I appreciate the feedback! :D

Ha, I got the first place on the scoreboard :) The game is actually fun, but as kintrix said, the movement and controlls feel a bit off. I could dodge most of the bullets just by going in circles. Also the player is moving faster when moving diagonally, you should probably normalize the movement input vector :p Pretty nice submission!

Developer

Oh crap your right! I just realized that I did normalize it, but only after the player movement code! What an idiot I am xD.  I didn't notice because I was testing mostly with a PS4 controller. Good job on getting  to the top of the leaderboard, and thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

First of all, it is a risky move to make a 3rd person shooter for a jam... There are so many things that can go wrong with the controls. For example, the character doesn't aim where the crosshair is... It would need ray-casting and some other calculations to make that; but in this game it's bit off...
The other thing is the sensitivity. For me the the aim sensitivity was way too high, and there doesn't seem to be an option to change that; and having controls configured badly, can make the game a lot less enjoyable.

The cutscene in the beginning is really cool, a great start for such a game. The gameplay itself is good, but I personally couldn't figure out how to get more ammo.

Also let's not forget the fact that the game looks really nice.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely agree, trust me, I spent hours trying to get the bullets to shoot into the center of the screen, I couldn't do it xD. I'm sorry about the sensitive controls, for me it was just right, it'll be because of the different dpi mouse levels. You can find crates around the map which contain bullets, there are also first aid kits which you can find to pickup  to regenerate some health. Thanks for playing and providing some awesome feedback!

Great game, I really like the cutscene and the art style, tho it's a bit hard cuz you immediately get swarmed by a bunch of bullets after 10-15 secs. Audio is very nice tho the music doesn't fit with the game that good, it's sort of an 8-bit music which yeah doesn't fit. Overall very epic game, would love to see a full version!

 I hope my name is still on the leaderboard
