Very cool atmosphere and nice core gameplay loop. Reminds me of the combat section of Dome Keeper, very similar vibe. It would've been nice to have a little more explanation at the start of what to do, especially with the shield. And I agree the VFX can be a little overwhelming at times. Really good job!

Thanks Bartticus! Done keeper was one of the inspirations, I wanted to build more on the combat side, with the old school DOOM being another major inspiration.
You're right. Post Jam I think I'll add a little main menu, lore dump, and some instructions - and finish the UI... And the shooting mechanics 😂 Lots to expand on.
