Really liked the 3D menu system (what's that object in the corner you can pick up?) and the core game mechanics were simple and fun, though a little repetitive. I think the textures and models could be made to fit the lower resolution a bit better though, often it was hard to tell what something was.

Was the resolution a challenge?
I went with 3D with a lowered resolution, so I feel like I skipped over a lot of the possible hurdles that'd come with 2D, but the hardest thing was making sure the words on screen were legible (and I still may have failed at that in some places...), and making sure it isn't hard to tell what certain small/far away objects are.
What did you learn?
This is the first game that I can call complete that I did in 3D. Also my second finished game in Godot (used Unity before). Doing this made me that much more familiar with the Godot engine and gave me some (hopefully) good fundamentals for making 3D games, as well as teaching me some things that could have been done better or more efficiently.

Thank you! I've always liked the idea of experimenting with more immersive menu systems and this one was fun to play with. I think the object you're talking about is the characters glasses (assuming it's the one on the bedside table next to the alarm clock). Definitely very repetitive at this point, I would love to add some sort of power up system though that'd change things up the longer you survive for though. Adding different weapons and things like that. And that was definitely a big challenge, being able to see clearly what things are, but that's also part of the challenge for the player, with the player character lacking their glasses and all ;)
Thanks for playing!

Oh that one! That's just the shotgun leaning against the wall. Originally this was going to be a stealth game, and that opening door interaction is a left over from that version of the game. Picking up the shotgun was also the final objective of that version, so you can pick it up, but doing it in the menu for this version doesn't do anything (I actually forgot you could pick it up until I went back into the game and clicked on it in the menu lol) But yeah, just thought it would be fun to leave those things in the menu to poke at.
Thanks! The difficulty in this game is definitely ramped up due to how little variation there is lol I'm glad you enjoyed it, it 's wonderful to read your experience with it. And yes the 20 foot tall monster is some weird mutated version of your deceased arch rival haha at least that's how I picture it, but it's a dream so the player can think what they want.
Thanks for playing!

Hahaha nice. Yeah a sound warning might be a good idea, however in future iterations there might be less enemies on screen at once compared to this, so hopefully the sound won't be as crazy haha

Nice! Getting close to the world record there haha (I think my highest was 99)
The font is definitely the thing that gave me the most trouble, looking back on it now post jam though I think there may have been a couple ways to make it better that I want to check out.
Thanks for playing!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I'll have to look into that, I was wondering if there was a way to not have that window there hahaha thanks for letting me know. Only my second game made in Godot so I'm still pretty clueless about a lot of things
There IS a quit button actually, clicking on the glasses next to the alarm clock quits the game.
Thanks for playing!

Yeah the cage boundaries at the edge of the level didn't get along well with the resolution at all. I'll probably end up either taking them out, or just upping the resolution for future versions since the limit for the jam won't be there any more.
Thanks for playing!

I'm glad the controls felt good! Gotta give credit to my friend Andy for that voice line, just had to use it for the game.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
