My Thoughts and Feedback

Hi! I randomly found your game and decided to give it a try. Even though it's a work in progress, I had fun going through the content in the game so far!

I really like the spritework; the level tiles and objects are especially nice and varied enough to really give the feel of an enemy base. The controls are simple and work just like how I would want them to, and including Cirno's hitbox while strafing is extremely helpful for certain situations with a lot of enemy bullets. The only real issue I found is that some interactables feel like they don't stick out enough, particularly the ones with a single unanimated sprite. It's not a huge issue though, as the levels are short and simple enough that I was able to figure everything out before long.

I got stuck midway through Level 3, specifically at a green switch next to sewage that didn't seem to work even after I had picked up the green keycard. I assume that's where development has ended for now? After that, I used the debug menu to jump around to some other rooms, and the rooms that didn't have Cirno also didn't allow the menu to be reopened, so I had to relaunch the game a few times to check more rooms.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

You are right, level 3 is where development ended and I didn't really try that keycard switch, you just missed an empty room with a thanks for playing message anyway. 

You raised a good point about the sprites not standing out, I'll definitely think about something to make intractables more obvious

You're welcome! I'd like to see what you do with the game if you continue working on it!

Right now I'm experimenting with a roguelite mode, it gives me a chance to design more enemy variety and weapons and have something that can be replayed apart from the main game
