How does the game fit the theme?
Protocol: Shutdown embraces the ‘Risk it for the Biscuit’ theme, forcing players to gamble their safety to save a console. Abandon weapons in search of something better, but every risk comes with no guarantees.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We used a few stock sound effects but aside from that everything is created from scratch specifically for this game jam!

I love the abandoned tech vibe of the game. I also LOVE the UI, its obvious a lot of effort was put into it! 

Submitted(+1)

really fun and amazing visuals that UI is perfect

Developer

thanks so much, the UI was such a pain to set up so I’m glad you like it!

Submitted(+1)

is your game unity if so do you mind telling me how you scale it correctly because the UI in my game doesn't scale to screens and idk how to fix i

Developer

I’ll DM @lunavia who did it

Submitted

thanks :)

Developer

all your canvases in your game should be set to "Scale With Screen Size" then in the project settings, under the player bit, set your screen size for your build. Then make sure all your elements on your canvas are anchored so that they dont scale incorrectly. I hope this helps !!

I'll try it thank you :)

Very well made game! I love the feedback/recoil of the weapons, got bolted so hard one time, when u get swarmed it can get pretty hard, but once u learn the map u can beat the game easy, fun! : ) It needs more audio as otherwise the background music can get pretty annoying~

Developer(+1)

thank you so much !! the audio and maybe diversity with bg music is definitely a note for next to focus more on !

Submitted

Visuals and audio are good. Gameplay is classic and smooth! When the game restarts after dying, I cant seem to click on any buttons. Not sure if it is intended. I enjoyed the game!

Developer

ahh that must be a bug, i think its something to do with the custom cursor position resetting so you might have to aim a little bit lower than the button to click play !!

Oh wow, the art style is very nice and cohesive, and the controls/movement is very smooth and snappy. Visually feels very polished, especially with everything made from scratch. Well done so far!
