I loved that you spent the time to add a tutorial level, very nice. I also liked the artwork and was amused at having kicking press buttons, nicely done. I must admit, I'm no longer the FPS player I once was, and these bugs did kick my ass.
I too experienced a noticeable load pause the first time I used both the shotgun and the grenade (playing on web using Firefox), and I suspect the VFX or sound FX is being demand loaded. If you can work them into your load screen (either hidden or otherwise integrated) it shouldn't be seen mid-action. The only other thing I could wish for is some slight color variation or pattern variation in the walls to help give the user more depth perception when moving about when there are corners (the eye will more easily sort the smaller patterns as further away).

Speed running definitely involves a lot of enemy skipping in this version. We were going to add rooms/doors that require kills to open. It sucks that the enemies aren't optimized enough for the quantity we desired on level 3. To be honest, I wanted to put wayyyy more enemies into level 3 but I was held back by the threat of lag!
Yay!!! We are glad you found enemy prioritization to be engaging! We definitely wanted to do more with that. It would have been cool to do even more with the enemies and their evolutions. I wanted to make the spiders able to sling a web across gaps and crawl across... so many cool ideas but not enough time!
We are glad you enjoyed! We tried to make a shader compilation room that loads on first run to compile the particle resources, but it seems that it didn't run long enough or do its job perfectly.
Had a great time speedrunning it, good job!Thanks! Making the sounds was really fun, we are quite vocally gifted lol. The left foot of a Blugman is very important!
