I love the reflections and colours in the environment, and the gameplay is nice and juicy. Visually it's a little bit cluttered and feels like a mish-mash of assets - e.g. the lava didn't fit, a glowing red floor panel would've fit much better with the rest of the visual style. I also didn't really feel like there was much of a point in moving up - the ground floor was where everything seemed to spawn all the enemies, so I just stayed there.
I noticed the screenshake and the damage numbers, plus a few other little juicy touches that were great! It was also a good implementation of the theme, if a bit boring 😜
Awesome game, super fun and a great aesthetic! The music is a bit repetitive and I take damage when spawning in, which I know is because of the "don't stop moving" mechanic you got going on but it might be a good idea to start that AFTER the player has already started moving. There was also a slope to the right of spawn that had some collision issues so I couldn't just walk all the way up it even if it looked like I can.
Also this is an aside but it really reminded me of when I was playing lazer tag back in pre-rona days, and that was really nice to see =)
