Very good. I got overwhelmed at the start, not gonna lie. But after solving three puzzles, it was relatively smooth sailing. I liked the final stretch, star escort mission, where the whole map layout turned into a puzzle. Nice variety in such a compact form. I don’t think I used the magnet at all, because I finished the puzzles requiring it by accident, just chaotically rotating the level. It was a cryptic but fun experience.

Fun movement and a good foundation, but it needs work. The models and animations are nice, though her run felt a little off. The wallrun jump feels odd because of the sudden stop and strange direction. Maybe make her keep her momentum and jump in the view direction? Enemies felt spongy, and the attack distance was short, but I understand that wasn’t the focus of the demo. It will be interesting to see how it turns out in the future after some polishing and tinkering. Good job, and good luck.

Interesting theme interpretation. I enjoyed the game despite it being quite laggy. There’s a decent amount of content: three bosses and levels that test your abilities. The walljump boss was a pain, but I beat him after a couple of tries. Maybe add the ability to shoot in the opposite direction while wallsliding? Most of its problems stem from lag, other than that, it’s a pretty solid game.

Thank you for playing.

I guess the map in general fell victim to my inexperience. It was my first jam, so I was hurriedly crunching, trying to make something playable from start to finish. I’ve already received similar feedback, so that’s something I need to work on.

Yeah, weapon puzzles seem obvious now, but they got lost amid the little things during the race to release. I’ll implement them further down the line.

I get you about the doors, I’ll tone it down in general. I tried to somewhat mitigate it by using signs that show door direction, but I see they didn’t help.

Down + E is a remnant of the old system. I previously had High Jump activated by pressing Down + Space, so I used the E button for dropping down. Now that I have alternatives to High Jump, I’ll change it to the proposed key combination.

Thanks for the detailed feedback.

Loved the overall buildup - the small level getting bigger, the music introduction, and how the whole area turned into an arena. It was a little unclear at first how to unlock the gravity power-up, but I got through it. Nice little game.

Interesting genre combination. Nice visuals. Pretty cryptic at the beginning, I needed a couple of restarts to understand what's what.

- Is wave intensity dictated by opened doors, unlocked recipes, or something completely different? I gathered the turret recipe and nothing else, after which I just spent time gathering resources and building defenses uninterrupted.
-Died a couple of times while checking the recipe menu — maybe add a pause to it?
- Are some enemies supposed to be invincible? I encountered some flying and basic slime enemies, and nothing worked on them; they just drew turret fire onto themselves. (Oh, okay — I checked the game description.)

Overall, nice game once you get the hang of it.

Great level design, challenging but manageable platforming, multiple uses of one ability, good placement of checkpoint. All in all great game.

Neat game. Nice narrative bits and overall presentation. I was expecting a final boss fight, given the intro, but that’s the reality of time constraints. Controls a little floaty, but manageable. I did catch a bug: after exiting a pipe in slime form, I could walk through pipes in human form for a short time.
Aside from that and the aforementioned death pits, it’s a really nice game. I had fun playing it.

Yeah, the map would definitely help with navigation. Just didn’t have time to add it. I’ll probably either trim down the levels or throw in some points of interest, encounters and other goodies. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for feedback. Yeah, melee is a weak spot here. It's underexplained and unnecessarily complicated by enemy stats. Your hits first deplete enemy stamina, after which he enters a weakened/stunned state. In that state, your strikes begin damaging health. So that's why it feels weak. A weakened enemy also receives increased damage from gunshots. I was more focused on ranged combat and tried to create a symbiotic relationship between ranged and melee. Something like: beat the enemy until he enters a weakened/stunned state, and then finish him with a handgun, spending less ammo than usual. I'll increase damage as a temporary solution and probably rework or just streamline the system further down the line.

Haha, damn, I actually forgot to mention that you can heal on F key. Will add this to the page description at least. Thank you for your feedback.
