Stylistically, this is one of the best games in the jam. The intro cutscene sets the tone perfectly, and I think it really fits the retro style of the game. The enemies and sound effects are really good, and really helps to create the impression of an early doom mod. 

Unfortunately, I played the game 5 times, and could never complete the boss with the chaingun. This was mainly due to a bug, which prevented guns from firing. For example my shotgun suddenly stopped working halfway through my third playthrough, meaning that by the time I had reached the final boss, I did not have enough ammo to defeat him between my other two guns. I had a similar issue with my pistol in some playthroughs, and also had an issue with the chaingun which meant that when you switched away from it, and back again, it would sometimes lose all it's ammo. Because of this, all of my playthroughs ended at that point (The restart button didn't seem to work either so I had to close and restart the game each time).

That said, with a patch to fix these bugs, this could be a really strong contender. I really enjoyed playing this game, and you should be proud of what you did. The style and theming carries this game a long way, and you should be proud that you (almost) finished the game on time. A big well done!

It was good! The intro was great, and the game itself fun as a Duke Nukem 3D-like jam entry.

I liked the enemy sprites, and the red girl's animation is hilarious.

The footstep and pickup sounds seemed really familiar, were they from anything in particular?

I had an issue on 2560x1440 (fullscreen) where the pickup dialogue completely blocked my UI.

It was possible to get out of bounds and fall into the void in one spot, but I think you might be aware of that. (If not, it's in the left corner after you drop out of the shotgun building)

Minor issues though, overall I had fun with the game!

Well done! Oh, and special shout outs to "CRATE"!

A late entry but a good one. This was one of my favourites in the jam.

The awkward HUD, low-rent textures, and ugly models made into poorly cut-out sprites are definitely so bad they're good. The big-boxes-hooked-together level design, too. The intro cutscene really seals the deal; it's just amazing. It's incredibly cheesy but it does a great job of setting the stage and the tone of the game right off the bat.

The movement is awkward, the enemy AI is buggy, and the weapons are quirky. None of that is really a bad thing for this jam; it was pretty common back in the day and I can live with it. But I really wish I could tell when I was actually hitting enemies. Visible bullets, hit puffs, or a pain animation would have helped here. It seems like a petty nitpick, but this is really what brings the gameplay down from "janky but decent" to "functional".

Duke Nukem and Strife? I can see it, and maybe some HacX too. To me it feels more like some of the indie shareware and freeware titles of the early 2000s than a true mid-90s commercial game, but whatever, it's still retro and cool.

I don't know if there ever will be an Episode 2, but if there is, I want to play it.
