i feel bad now ._.
I noticed that the main character still has self-reflective thoughts even if you decide not to shoot anyone, which feels a little weird. I do like the commentary this game makes about how what we're told to do isn't always what's morally right.
Perfect fit for the topic! I liked the pixel look. One can image that with more time you could take this idea further with different outcomes etc. but you did a great job focusing on your main idea!
Very interesting concept, would be nice to have some rewarding option for not killing anyone
Visually it fits the mood pretty well, I liked all the sprites, main character and the bullets could be a bit more distinguishable but these are just minor things
Good job!
The art is good, but the character sort of melts into the background, it isn't that easy on the eye.
Pretty good idea. The problem is that there is no other option than to kill everyone, so there is really no choice involved (which is disappointing, because my first instinct was to not kill everyone). However, I really liked the art style and retro feel - you nailed it!
Is there any solution other than to kill all?
I tried to explore the map first (if you move to the very bottom of the map you cannot move up anymore so I had to start over) I feel like this was a good concept to the theme and I could have been deeper and darker. Good idea, really!
Great idea for the jam topic!
From my point of view, it would be better to decrease the amount of health per character or increase the bullet damage. Still great concept.
What's the engine ? (i'm a noob, so don't be surprised :D)
Good use of the theme!
Although I was expecting some twist, like the possibility to leave the area and have a "Mission Failed!" title.
But regardless, it's a simple game that goes straight into the game jam topic.
Good work!
Nice game. Good pixel art style.
Maybe some less camera shake but it did make it feel nervous.. And that was not bad.
Good work!
Good concept! Everything worked fine for me and I liked the pixel art style, only little thing for me is some of the 'unadvanced' had colours really similar to the background which made them difficult to differentiate from it, and with them moving around fast, could get a bit confusing about what was what. It's a minor thing though, otherwise good job!
Dark concept. Everything worked well and the pixel art looks nice. congrats on finishing!
Interesting concept. I wasn't too sure about what to do but I had fun shooting. The colors of the background tiles are a bit too strong for me, but I see a lot of potential in the game. Nice job!
Liked the concept of morality in the game, though it can get somewhat repetitive. I did come across a bug though. I got to the bottom of the map and then couldn't move up. Also the font was a bit hard to read at the start so in future I'd recommend using more contrasting colours. Other than that, not a bad game.
