That reminds me the good old Time Crisis games, with their approximative acting x] Well done !

I could only repeat what the others have said, what an amazing game in all regards!!

The accessibility options were especially great and allowed unskilled me to play through the game :)

Holy moly, this was quite the game! I'm really impressed by this game, from the graphics, theme, music, and voiceovers! You have really set the bar for this game jam, and look forward to working even harder next Game jam!

Awesome game! Everything from the graphics to the music and sounds perfectly captures the charm of the PS1 era games. The difficulty is good as well. Not so hard that it's frustrating, but certainly not easy either.


Also, I like the level of customization available in the options menu! You don't see that in a lot of game jam entries just because of the time constraints and what not, so it's impressive that you were able to pull it off!

I used my library for this, so it saved me a lot of time. I intend to release it open source someday, maybe, once I clean it out!

Dude this was SO much fun. I love your voice overs! The nostalgia I got from all my younger years playing Time Crisis at the arcades... really well done

So fantastic! Memories of Time Crisis, House of the Dead, and even a little Buck Hunter!

My best time was 1:06.

Would be pretty cool to play with one of those old light guns. :)

Hilarious! Was laughing before the game even started!

What a lovely flashback to my youth and games like Time Crisis

Massive kudos!

So freaking amazing! There is nothing I can fault about this game. You've put together a real piece of art.

So accurately captured the genre in the graphics, the sound, the controls. It has come together so well. You should be very pleased with the game that you've made.

You have definitely made me feel like I need to up my game and add cut scenes in future jams. Thanks for setting the bar so high!

This is wild!  Such an amazing homage to old arcade shooters.  The visuals and presentation are on-point!  My only nitpick would be that the mummies feel like they take too many shots to kill.  I couldn't get too far in the game, but it definitely is one of the best games I've played in the jam so far.  Kudos!

Thanks for your kind words.

Concerning difficulty, I suggest you retry by adjusting the number of continues in the options menu.

I also added auto-fire and auto-reload options in the controls settings, for accessibility purposes.

Thanks, that's helpful to know!

Ok I think that earns a replay!
