Thanks so much!   I just fixed the movement using move_and_slide instead of move_and_collide so that it adjusts the angle automatically when you touch walls.  (Of course I can't submit it)   But you're right, the movement was/is super sticky in comparison.  Now I'm breezing through the game.

I'll turn the footsteps down to a lower volume.  :)

Working on making the energy rechargers tell all of the nodes to save their state, so it works as a respawn point.  The difficulty can be pretty brutal to run it all in one shot.

Thanks for playing!

Thank you FriedChitin!   Yes, I really struggled to get Godot to respect both occlusion and shadow casting.  I could do one or the other, but not both.  I also didn't have time to learn raycasting and check if the target could be seen.  So it's a little weird to see an alien behind a door waiting for you.  :). I'll fix it later in the week.

The art is whatever I could find on OpenGameArt, since I can't draw.  I agree it's a mish mash of stuff!

And totally agree on controls.  The first thing in going to code tonight is auto-correction on movement so you don't get stuck on walls.  I made a mobile version and it's barely playable with a thumb control.

I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad you liked it!  Needed another day to polish it, but at least it has a beginning, middle and end.

Great points!  I'll clarify that all of the assets came from either OpenGameArt, FreeSound, or the Ultimate Game Music Collection I bought a while back.

Definitely going to upgrade the controls.  I wasn't aware that WASD was so popular.
