- playability was low because the mouse sensitivity starts insanely high, once i fixed that by changing my mouse settings, it handled well, the main issue is enemies hit you and you receive no indication of damage other than checking your health, no sound or screen notice, but enough of the negatives and their range is much further than it seems to be, I love the idea of killing enemies with different weapons making them drop different ingredients to make different potions, need health and not ammo? mix a green and red ingredient, armor low, mix red and blue, need more ammo, mix 2 reds, I really like this concept of the potions being mixxed on the fly in combat by scavenging ingredients from dead enemies and it being used for health, armor and ammo, not relying solely on health packs and armor packs, great job!

Cleave is a retro boomer shooter, fast paced where you can craft potions as a resource, you need to execute your enemies in different ways to get different materials. The game only has one level as a proof of concept that will be improved and will be published on Steam!
Extra Notes
After 3 jams in a row, this one had the best theme! I wanted to create some fps system during a gamejam for upcoming games!

Holy! It reminds me of doom like games!
I enjoyed it very much althouh my mouse is too sensitive - it would be great option to add sensitivity setting.
Music fit's game perfectly and I hope to see it with more levels, enemies and weapons ;)
Great game! Really like the alchemy component of mixing different ingredients for different effects; added a layer of strategy to it. Very fun!
I love retro FPS! I originally thought that an inventory system for the alchemy ingredients would be cumbersome in this style of game. Great minds think alike! Having just the two slots keeps the pace fast. However, I found that in some cases I wanted to avoid stepping on the wrong ingredient. Can Q be bound to drop/trash ingredients?
Awesome music and style. Very much like the early Quake games. Mouse was a little sensitive, but I was able to adjust that on my end. Gameplay is brutal but strategic. Cool entry!
