this reminds me a lot to doom and halo with a little bit of metroid prime, nice game

The graphics are nice, tho not sure what the cars are for, maybe aesthetics? The upgrade are nice too.

The sound effect are cool but it could be nice if there are background music like the one you have in your trailer video. Speaking of which, there are some part of the game I need to use the video in order to know where to progress such as the road blocking rock.

One more things, when I jump in the tunnel near the start, I get stuck in mid air like this and have to restart, probably is some collision problems.

But still, nice game!

I enjoyed your game a lot, and it was great seeing such a solid Godot game that nails the theme. Like a few people have said below, the audio was also really appealing.

The weapon felt so satisfying to use and I particularly liked the brief recharge sound it makes when you stop shooting. Platforming also felt good and both regular jumps and double jumps felt quick and snappy, but I would’ve liked to have even one more movement ability, such as a dash (maybe it was actually there as a secret?), so that I could’ve moved faster through already explored areas.

Enemies were weird. The spiked creatures could’ve benefited greatly from having a brief death animation to signal their imminent explosion, while the plants’ projectiles needed to either be a bit slower or better signaled. A dash/dodge ability would’ve been useful here, too. However, with health upgrades being abundant, combat never actually felt too unfair.

The ability to damage slimes and the one that renders you immune to the toxic fumes felt a bit like glorified keys: they basically only allowed to access new areas without contributing to the overall gameplay (this is actually a very common trap to fall into, considering that many other metroidvanias have done this, too).

I may have sounded harsher than I actually intended to. In the end, I enjoyed playing through this and I think you really nailed the early PS2/GC era atmosphere. I know you said you don’t want to continue developing your entry, but I honestly think this is a great foundation to build upon and could really shine with improved enemies and more platforming abilities!

PS: Just FYI, even though there’s no native Linux build, the Windows one works perfectly under Wine/Proton!

This one's one of my thematic favorites. Instantly feel the homage paid to the prime games, and I am personally a fan of the brutal combat (seriously, the timings on the bugs is near instant and I play twitch shooters). Though, I know people probably won't like that. 3D is a plus, multiple purpose rooms is a huge plus (and one of the most important parts of a Metroidvania), and I liked the primary weapon sound so much I found myself just shooting at walls while walking around. The ending sequence is cute, and I feel like overall this is one of the purest experiences in the jam. Great job!

Really loved this one, opened up the game and I was instantly felt the spirit of Metroid Prime.  This game is very juicy, love all the sounds on actions, visual effects when you shoot things, enemies dying with effects ect.

My two pieces of criticism would be I think the rooms that deal damage to you when you enter deal damage too fast, but your generous checkpoint made up for it.

And I was sad that I went to hit escape to try and pause the game and it closed, making me lose my progress.  Really great though one of my favorites I've played so far!

I wanted to check your game since I think we are one of the few that made a 3D entry.

When I saw the screenshots I was happy because I'm a Metroi Prime-guy. Ilove the gameplay on those games and the sense of inmersion they make me feel. 

Although it doesn't feel the same (obviously I wasn't looking fwd to it) it is very interesting how in this case this sense of inmersion came to me because of the art primarily, colors are very well picked for the environment and the low poly style is very "gamecubish"

I really enjoyed it, hoping for a full version of it :)

Really nice to see a Metroid Prime-inspired entry!

The game's looking and sounding nice. I liked the environments as they provided a few explorable paths and took advantage of the third dimension. It was also nice to hear the saw from a distance and the sound getting louder when approaching. The rocks could have used a stronger effect when you break them with the missiles, but there's otherwise plenty of feedback and particles to underline your actions.

But the experience was overall a bit frustrating and I was sad not to finish it.

First, the Escape key does not pause the game, it closes it without confirmation... which I thankfully learned early in my playthrough.

The breakable rocks can be hard to see, which can be a nice way to encourage looking closely at the environment, but because I took some time to find them, I wasted all my missiles experimenting on other parts of the environment, to the point I couldn't progress any further. I had to kill myself using the "abyss rooms" to refill my ammo. Speaking of those rooms, I didn't understand them at first, so I died without knowing why. A better feedback on those rooms and a way to always refill your ammo would already go a long way to improve the experience.

The enemies are pretty cool, though placing the flowers near the entrances, to the player's back, feels a bit cheap. But they don't do much damage, so it's no big deal.

I gave up in the platforming section. I was often surprised by the jump distance considering its height. I often thought "no way I can make that jump" when I could. But falling kills you instantly and send  you back to the last powerup you gained, which was quite a few rooms from there. The second time it happened I couldn't bring myself to retry, which is a shame because I was really intrigued by where the game was going. If you could respawn the player on the last platform with a chunk of health missing, it would make it way more palatable.

In conclusion I found it very promising, and if those issues can be fixed it has the potential to be a really good 3D metroidvania! ;)

it was a great game, i expected a boss fight at the end cuz i was constantly getting more powerful but didn't encounter anything to test those new abilities, (i think you probably planned to do that since there are extra missiles right before the end). At least more enemies in the second half would have kinda (maybe) fixed this cuz i feel there were more enemies at the beginning than in the latest zones. But the level design i think was really good, i enjoyed exploring each zone and finding secret walls to break.

PSDT: i like your illustrations a lot and i just realized it's you. Made me happy to find you here. Congrats with finishing the game.

Really liked this one. I liked having to try and shoot the needle enemies and have a fraction of a second to hide behind a corner, it became almost like lining up a pool shot. The plant guys were less predictable, but still fun to try and run past while spraying with bullets to minimize damage taken. The only thing that stands out was that the doors and upgrade descriptions could be faster. Other than that, great theming with the abyss zones. Overall I thought it was really well done.

Nice to see a FPS entry!

The controls are very nice and responsive, didn't have any issue with movement or platforming. You might want to add at least a blob shadow underneath the player, as a kind of visual feedback on where they would land.

Other than the double jump, the sound were all very nice and fitting, both ambiance and SFX.

The graphics were nice, and I'm quite pleasantly surprised how well the lighting and fog made the limited amount of textures work this well.

The biggest issue I had with the game, we're the enemies. Most of the plants ambush you, and the... quill armadillos? have such fast moving projectiles, that it's impossible to outmaneuver or hide from them. One advice given for ranged combat focused FPS games, is to make the enemy fire projectiles, instead of using hitscan, so that the player has the ability to avoid taking damage.

The path blocking rocks, could also blend a bit less into the environment, especially if they hide the critical path.

I don't know if there is a reason for the doors (background loading, instanciating, etc) beyond separating rooms. but if they're only there to divide space, they should open way more quickly.

That all said, would play more, with less cheesy enemies and more combat.

I enjoyed this, having the 3D and the simple controls was great. I spent about 15-20 minutes on it. I got to a point I was going back around in circles, and did not get to the point of understanding the wall grinders everywhere. I think the enemy shrapnel and type of enemies were great. It had a little bit of a half-life feel from Steam years ago. I rated it very high. It was the first game I played, I will come back to it and see if I can understand more of the metroidvania aspect to it... The health-bar/map thing on the top was a little confusing to interpret at first, maybe or maybe I did not understand it correctly. Secret doors were great!

this is incredible!!!!!

Hi! Its always awesome to see 3D metroidvanias, so I really liked this one!
I liked the upgrades and secrets to find, the game also gave me some Metroid Prime/Dune vibes but in a Nintendo 64 style, probably because it made me remember of the game "Armorines" for N64, which was awesome. Also Shooting the rifle on enemies was satisfying especially after the automatic upgrade, and the red circle effect when shooting surfaces had a really cool spread effect.
The only problems I had where that some of the areas where too similar, and without a map it made me quite lost sometimes, maybe more unique colored areas like the abyss could be cool. And also the breakable rock walls where a little too hidden sometimes, since they are the same color as a normal wall, but if the idea was to make them actually hard to find, maybe an audio cue could help instead of making them more visible, like a wind whistle coming out of them. Also, some more audio variety could improve the overall game, maybe a light soundtrack or different ambiances for different areas could make them stand out more. And finally, I imagine it was because of time constraints, it was a shame to see that there was no final boss, I was kinda pumped after finding the final missile upgrade to shoot my way trought the end, but it's understandable since its a 3D metroidvania for a game jam, which is already impressive!

Overall, this was an impressive entry and fun to play, it would be awesome to see a final polished version with the full ending and improvements. So congrats!

Here ya go!

yooo this is actually cool, but it feels a little empty and i don't know what to do

Very cool! I got softlocked after unlocking the phage missiles because I could not figure out where to go, and every door just immediately killed me. But the bits that I got to experience were cool!

Very nice game, great 3d graphic effects! I like the fact that I have to shoot the doors to open them like in metroid! Good job!

Good job on all of your "firsts" ;)

The mouse sensitivity was a bit high. Would be cool, if one could adjust that in some settings menu or so.

Also, for getting more ratings, it might be a good idea to upload a web build as well (you still have 14 hours to do so). Since not everyone uses Windows. 

Keep up the good work!

Overall I think it was really well done. The controls for the most part felt good, but the sensitivity on the arm cannon felt a bit too high for my taste. The world seemed well planned out, placing items near the places you needed them next. I had a hard time for a bit finding the suit upgrade. I'm not sure if I wasn't looking closely enough, or if it was some combo between the render distance fog and the color of destructible rocks being too similar to the environment. Nonetheless, good job, especially for your first 3D game!
