What did this game do well?


The movement and shooting was easy to play. Death and the concept of surviving for 1 minute without the timer was good. It created a bit of tension. The dungeon for death was really good, in that when I try to go in some corner thinking I can escape I get trapped. Good game feel; I like shooting games and concept of survival. I love this game so much!!! It reminds me of the horror jrpgs i played with the chasing-escaping mechanics. The dynamic between the player and the death god really strengthens the game’s interaction, and using pcg in the map adds to the game’s depth. the music is also great and fits the game’s atmosphere so well. Nice concept, well executed I enjoyed how simple it was, shoot enemies and they shoot back in a pattern. I also like how the camera is far enough to see enemies, but close enough to obscure your surroundings. I like the timing mechanic and the speedrunnish difficulty I like the part where i die i can go to another session and survive for a min to get a new life

What could this game have done better?


Not having a healthbar(If it was intentionally), I would prefer to have it. Personally for me it would be the best option to create more tension in the game. Knowing that I am low health. There were times when I spawned and there were 5 enemies around me, so I would recommend to try and spawn enemies in corners of the room or away from the player. the arrow keys and the mouse are both at right hand side of the computer, so it will be a little difficult for the player to control the character. Maybe it will be better to use wasd to control the character I really don’t know. Maybe improve the graohics a little bit? I think the game is already pretty much polished. None The death scene could be better, with a timer and an actual reward for staying alive for a minute. But other than that this game is really good! the enemies are a bit difficult to kill, this adds to the difficulty but it does make it harder to do better the next run. some of the room actually have too much monster
