Hey Guys, I guess I do not have to mention that the degree of professionality of your game is tremendous! Lovly voice acting, awesome graphics and in game tutorial.

So I made a video on it: 

AND ofcourse I have not given you only one star in controls - beside the non-restart thing, they are very solid and worth four stars 😉

Thank youa ton for playing it.

This was the first game ever for me and I can see I should put more effort into guiding players. Many people told me they didn't realized they can stop the intro by pressing Esc. And almost nobody (you included) tought about bringing out the in game menu by pressing esc inside the level.  You can save and load this game and return to action faster.


They are also chests FULL of ammo waiting around the levels and the game itself is a platformer so we tried to make the platforming challanging. But you are supposed to save after beating a section of jumps :D


Either way thank you a TON for playing it :)

Very nice art, and I liked that the game had a lot of love put into it. From the main Menu, to the parallax backgrounds, to the mouse aiming, it felt you had a vision when making it.
I like where it's going, some feedback:
Difficulty suddenly spiked on the disappearing platforms. I wished they had a different design to differentiate them, maybe have constant distance between them and also they came kind of unexpected.
I got stuck on the second level as the platforms seem to block the jump and I kept dieing.
Very good entry overall.

This is a really solid start, and the direction you were going with is clear. I really enjoyed it :)

It's good that you're self aware of taking on a big idea though haha. I look forward to seeing how much you'll be able to polish a smaller on based on how much you did of this!

I included SRC code but it’s mess I threw together quickly!
You will learn really bad practices if you do it as this !! xD
It’s really not very scalable in many ways, I just needed the systems to work for the jam.
