I was trying to read the pixelated text and the game started! I got jump scared lol and the screen flipped over (i do not know what happened maybe after death) after that i played normally and its very fun! i have seen camera man game ideas but first person one is the best!

Amazing idea! Was a bit confused at first on what to do and it was a little difficult but loved the concept

The description didn't really sell it, but this was a really solid idea.

For others: In this game, you play as the person holding the over-the-shoulder camera in a third-person shooter.

Brilliantly clever, fantastic art, and it definitely deserves continuing.

Cool and fun concept, very quite clever indeed!

If I had to throw out complaints, the intro text's font (grammatical errors aside) is a bit incomprehensible and the enemies deal a tad bit way too much damage

Still, cheers to you!

Thank you for your review and for playing our game!

True! we had little time to playtest and balance the enemies, the first "tutorial" level ended up being done at the last minute too.

Best regards :)

I know this was probably the case, no need to tell me fam. 'Tis okay ~

Much love and great success for your future devving-endeavours!

Super cool concept but didn't know what to do after the first horde of enemies died, they just stopped spawning and the tutorial was very hard to read due the pixelation

Thanks a lot for the review, the game really needs more polishing, but you need to record the doors so the player can keep going to the other rooms!

Very neat idea. I found it very chaotic and hard to figure out what was going on a lot of the time. Also I found a way to glitch through the floor lol. Nice work

Thank you very much for the review, the game indeed has several bugs and needs more polishing hahaha XD

swtzSubmitted303 days ago(+1)

Great idea and the aesthetics are awesome. Had some trouble aiming at monsters in the next room since you can't move while recording. Very fun regardless and great work!

Thank you very much for your feedback and kind words, we are glad to know that you had fun with our game :)
Indeed it is difficult to be a cameraman! XD

Very unique concept on breaking the 4th wall! Sensitivity is a bit too high for my personal liking, but I still had tons of fun.

This game sure is funny and creative. Love deranged doom music and aesthetics!

Thank you very much for your review! :)

Doom was a classic inspiration for us to introduce the cameraman concept, we're glad you enjoyed it.

Afif ZughayerSubmitted304 days ago(+1)

Had a good laugh at this game!

The cameraman in games and movies has always been a joke and you made it a reality! Really enjoyed this clever idea, pretty polished, love the doom style, veeeery unique idea and works surprisingly well.

My only note is that it is a bit a hard, but I'll pass that since it's a 48 hour jam xD

Excellent job! You deserve perfect scores
