Simple yet pretty fun. The gameplay is reminiscent of early 90s Windows games :) Everything feels very rough and unpolished, the collision detection is off. Enemies seem to enjoy getting stuck in the walls. Really cool that you have your own engine written for this.

Pretty simple game! It feels a bit rough, but there are a lot of big levels and that's cool for me!
I have to agree with kyyrma, it really looks like a 90s Windows game :D
I think there should be some kind of sound effect when you get hit by an enemy because on my first playthrough I didn't realize I was getting hit until I died!
And the bullets should be a bit faster!
Good work though :)

Nice and simple, I like these kind of games but I would like to see some story.

Also after I died of hunger i could not restart the game.

Pretty cool. Kinda lo-fi, DOS-style. The collision detection's a bit iffy, and some background music would've been nice, but other than that, yeah.

I agree with Zed, basically :-)

Aagh I want to be a Monkey, stupid humans! Yes this was good fun, thanks!

Indeed this does feel very oldschool, the cavemen made me a laugh a bit :D

Thanks everyone!

Nice overall with an ok engine but far to easy. Also still had the unable to respawn bug in the .JAR file.

was playing in firefox, and once you die you can't start a new game doing so just brings you straight to the death screen again. good game otherwise.
