Did you work in a team?
It was mostly me with some help with art from my brother. I had fun.
Was the resolution a challenge?
Making a UI and text look good with the low resolution was a challenge. The resolution was useful for hiding sub-par art at least.
What did you learn?
I learned and improved a lot in my ability to make ambient music. I also had to figure out how to make shooting mechanics feel good.

Very good horror mood, I think this is actually one of the better horror games submitted. I think I would have made the dogs a little less cute, but that's just me.
Thanks. I was trying to make them as evil looking as possible but my art skills are pretty bad :L
I got the gist, haha. Honestly the game is creepy overall and the dogs don't detract from it.
Just realized I forgot to rate this so came back to do so. Music was great. Gameplay was kinda tough for anyone that read Old Yeller, which is why it was great, too. You added a level of emotion/attachment. And.... you created an alternate "Cujo" ending for Old Yeller.
Anyways, you gotta shoot anything that acts unnatural, and don't fool around about it. It's too late after they've already bitten or scratched you.
I never really thought about that connection...
Thanks for playing and the rating :)
Nice game !
:)
Very cool little doom clone. Took me a bit to realize I had to reload, a prompt or something would have been nice but otherwise this is a quick fun game with a neat boss level at the end. Sure it could have used some polish here and there but at the end of the day, most jam games do. Personally found it pretty entertaining.
Thanks
I couldn't find any more ammunition, were there any? However, quite a nice game. -oneak
No, you had infinite ammunition. I probably should have made that clear somewhere ingame...
Thanks for playing :)
I... I just... I can't even.
You cruel, cruel person. :)
