It looks fantastic but i feel like putting the theme into the story rather then the mechanics is a bit cheeky :p

This game has an insane level of polish for a jam game! The art and music were great, and the flashlight effect was particularly cool. The combat was satisfying and felt well-balanced. Well done!

A really great game! The art style is simply fantastic, sounds and music are great as well.

I had one problem with the gameplay, though - very often the enemies started to shoot me while still being very far off-screen, making it difficult to not only defeat them, but even to evade their fire. I found the only way to survive long-term was to be constantly moving and firing, but for some reason sometimes my bullets destroyed enemy projectiles and sometimes they passed straight through them. I guess reducing enemy engagement range and moving the camera further away to give you more screen space would solve a lot of these problems.

Other than that, I had a lot of fun with this one. It looks stunning, I love the way lighting and shadows work. Great job! ;)

Thank you Lucas for playing! Yes, the sight range of the enemies is a bit far. I think proper level design may solve these kinds of issues, so that one does not have direct sight of enemies from afar. We had the dilemma where, enemies could either see you first OR you see them first. In the latter, you can easily snipe them off before they reacted. Thus we went with the former option.

That said, level design might just be the savior to this kind of dilemma. :)

Once again, thank you for playing! We appreciate it and thank you for the feedback!

Very good aesthetic! I felt like we could we some more data on the game, like health bar, if we are still far from the objectives, things like that! But otherwise it's good!

Good points, some feedback on health level and objective distance would be very helpful.
