The idea of getting something at the end and going back is really cool in some games, but it’s not really done with a twist here. Nothing changes at the level at all. It’s all pretty… dead. Without the sound and having the blank scenarios and same monsters. A great idea, but not that great of an execution.
Very fun, but lowkey hard.
Job well done!
Clean shooting mechanics, and good levels. I struggled to clear the second level at first due to misunderstanding that the enemies aren't reset when you reach the end, but entirely new enemies are spawned, which is a little counterintuitive and maybe should be explained. However, when I worked this out, I could get through it much more easily. I also liked the backtracking mechanic, doing the level once both ways is a neat idea.
we all know the insparation nice game ans accurate movment
Nice game, I can very clearly see the doom part of it. Could definitely use audio, and the homing attack enemies we're a bit too difficult to deal with when there were other enemies. I also think the game should have started with the melee enemies, instead of the shooting ones.
If the game has more time to develop, it can definitely turn out great!
i coudnt add audio as i was running out of time and it was better idea to add the final level
Game is interesting, didn't know that GZdoom existed. would have liked to have some kind of crosshair to aim.
level design wise, while the concept is cool, I would have wished for more interesting layouts that felt less linear, so that way when you backtrack is not only to get into the exit but to explore more of the level. regardless pretty cool game.
i mean the idea was to have different combat scenarios when you're going forwards and backwards through the levels
