Oh wow, cutscenes and voice acting. Always a plus in my book.

The first time I played I came across something weird where half of the screen was taken up by IndexedDB and nothing worked. So I just refreshed the webpage.

That being said I had a lot of fun. Great game.

I had a lot of fun with this one. I did not expect the Power Rangers battle lol. Unfortunately, my computer couldn't handle all the fire effects from the boss fight against the flamethrower guy. It was super laggy, and I couldn't get past it.

I had a lot of fun with this. Just a lot of effort going into everything. 

Only critique would be the last boss fight. It was done so quickly, even though it´s supposed to be the finale. The Soviet Rangers had a better fight (a real enjoyable one at that) than the final boss, which leaves you a bit disappointed? Like I was so hyped at the fused giant Mecha fight, I loved figuring out that I can extinguish the fire by rolling in the snow, but the last fight, the thing the player will leave the game with... didn´t have such a highlight. So maybe, next time plan the last fight at the beginning to have a goal to work towards? Or keep in mind to make it the highlight instead of the fights in the middle. 

She could have caused a small earthquake with her purr or turned into a giant cat chasing you. Maybe lunge attacks or a second phase where you have to avoid stuff during her ult, because you can´t stop it and can´t attack her. Just to make her more threatening.

 But you could just shoot her and she was dead... She was kinda the weakest boss.

Salutations!

I'm a huge fan of the old PSX aesthetic on this one; I think it's really well done. 
Truly remarkable how much you've managed to make considering the time limit.

The characters are so fun, I like the designs, and I loved the fact that the interpretation of the themes was kinda literal.
All the gameplay mechanics and changes during the story are fun to play. I think my favorite one would be the Snake Eating mashing button section with the Firebug boss battle (so creative and fun).

I was not expecting the meta commentary about the jam, but I did have a blast with the dialogues, haha.

Some notes I had are that:

• I Tried to play with my keyboard, but the keybindings made it a bit difficult to aim and to sneak since the melee and aim/shoot buttons are too close to the WASD.
• Also, I would really like there to be a little tutorial while playing through the story instead of reading the instructions from the pause menu, although it feels accurate with the actual PSX games that have their instructions on the cases. (Maybe that's more like my personal experience.)
• And for the minimap, I think that an indicator on where to go would be a great addition. I got a bit disoriented while playing some segments.

Overall, I really liked this one so much, and I find it charming and fun.
Great Job, Everyone!

Was a pretty fun and ambitious title considering the time limit; I've got me playing the game here(no commentary):

If we're trying to be honest with reveiws then I'd wish the script writer would have had a bit more confidence in their ability to create a funny scenario with elements of pop culture references. To me the final result ended up being a bit too self referrential and self demeaning for me to really get into it - it felt like the script said "I'm just a silly script please don't judge me!" very brazenly to begin with and I'd much prefer if it said "Yeah I know I'm funny what'cha gonna do about it"(I think a bit more confidence and bravado could have gone a long way in making the humor work personally)

The models were lovely and I enjoyed the character designs too (definitely see the megaman legends inspiration & the assets are real good)

The music was a bit short(especially the alert theme), I think it could have done with like two bars of minor variation and it would have done a lot for the loop not getting a bit redundant(though I think I suffered with this issue too; time constraints and all), beyond that it fit quite well

Some mechanics(like the first person view) seem to kind of get disabled somewhat arbitrarily depending on the scene of the game; I think whenever the camera is taken control of (and also on the fire boss guy I think it happens too) it seems to disable the mechanic(which is a little confusing given the kinda strict ps1ish controls) beyond that I didn't have any problems with the controls & generally had a fun time with the movement and gameplay

But yea I think this was a really ambitious and fun entry - I love the gall to include fully voice acted and motion captured cutscenes, that definitely takes guts (to both aim for and to shockingly practically deliver). I hope you dudes didn't crunch out too hard and still have plenty of game development to deliver, looking forward to more! ☺️

Couldn't quite make it past firebug (too laggy for my old computer), but from what I did manage to play it's quite funny!

The parts of it I could get to on the web build were really fun! Will have to come back and update once I've played. the PC build.

I did get stuck in crouch, not sure if that was me or a bug.

Also, it would be nice to go back to the beginning of the level instead of having to watch the cutscene again (if you die in the beginning). 

The windows build is completely unplayable on my pc. In the introduction level the explosions and fire are unavoidable and kill me basically instantly. Completely different experience on the web build of the game where I take way less damage and can outrun the explosions. Highly recommend looking into this issue if you can. My guess is that something is tied to framerate in an unintended way. Unsure if its damage thats the issue, or the player’s movement speed, or the speed at which the explosions catch up to the player on the plane.

This first video is the windows build

This next one is the web build:

Absolute cinema nya. Shooting was kinda hard to aim. The firebug fight had really bad frame dropping with the fire spreading around, also was really hard to look with all the effects. Real fun game though.

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

Good to see a fellow 3d game in this jam. Loved the chaotic cutscenes. Soviet Rangers are definitely my favorite. You also got a nice variety of gameplay modes, that's really good.

If you are planning on continuing development, here is my feedback: tutorials inside the game explaining controls and goal for each partucular gameplay mode would be nice to have. I got stuck for some time trying to get into the hatch because I didn't know I needed to turn immediately after entering while the game immediately pulls you outside if you just continuously press W. In a fight with flamethrower guy I first thought that I just needed to escape from him and spent minutes searching for the exit.

I know you are imitating PS1-era games, but oh god the scenes with static camera. It can be really annoying trying to move your character with it when you're already used to usual 3rd person camera controls from modern games (this applies to Dreams of Leaves as well). This is just my personal opinion though. Also it is diffucult to hit people with a pistol using mouse and keyboard since the game only allows to fire in 8 directions, it seems.

Overall great game, I looked forward to it since I liked Dreams of Leaves and it's narrative through cutscenes and it seems that you managed to make more content this time, very nice.
