This was a real-ass game! It was super cool and I'm really impressed with what you were able to get done given the time. I found myself playing this exactly like I played real MGS games: trying to sneak my way through, genuinely screaming in fear when I get caught, and then running and gunning my way through lol
There are a few points of jank I'm sure you're already aware of (like the character seemingly getting turned around when trying to crawl through certain points). When in the 2nd stage, trying to leave the initial opening area, after crawling through that section I had a hard time figuring out where to go. I almost gave up during the Firebug boss fight because it was really frustrating to try and fight an enemy that could attack me off screen. It was also frustrating because to put out the flames if you got hit, you had to roll, but because I hit the button to get back up too soon, I would often get stuck crawling. I was able to beat him I think on the 4th or 5th try lol
Oh, also, I really found myself missing a pause option. And I really wish there was an option to quit or play again rather than being thrown immediately back into the beginning of the game.
Again, this was super cool and felt like a real-ass game! Btw, I loved the Soviet Rangers haha

Thank you so much for playing and the kind words! Really glad it's a real ass game haha 🤣
Yes the jank is all known! Basically I got straddled with a lot more of the work load than I expected after the first week sadly but.. Had to have the Soviet Rangers and Firebug.. amd cutscenes and time ran away very quickly... Even yesterday still didn't manage to get a bunch of things in (such as the pause menu and a continue system haha) but wanted to make sure it had a start to finish.
Sorry bout the mess with firebug boss he was also a massive rush job yesterday 😅 But by golly i had thr forest fire working so needed to put him in haha! He can attack off screen though but he won't (isn't meant to anyway) start the attack till he's within 2 - 3 meters distsnce of the play i think 🤔 And the vents... deffinately need to fix them haha (it's a issue with changing between control types which i have not been smart enough to figure out yet...)
Thank you again for playing and I'll try to get some of your suggested fixes out this week 😁
Ps. Go go Soviet Rangers! And I'll play your game in a few hours 😊
