Camera is very sensitive, but an interesting play. Nice sound. Runs nicely for me.

masadow 2013-04-29 18:42

Nice, I liked :)

zekyon 2013-04-29 18:43

Is very hard I not managed to win even once :(! but very funny game! I really hate the bluemans xD

webravenz 2013-04-29 18:46

very beautiful score room and fun game, these boys are scary :p

lioneljitro 2013-04-29 20:05

Love the transition from arena to score room.

The idea of an arena shooter is pretty cool. Those guys are creepy as when they just appear on you. Nice minimalistic shooter.

lidfrid 2013-04-29 20:08

Cool concept on this one!
The beginning scares the hell out of me!!

namkcor 2013-04-29 20:12

Not sure why I lost, what the score means really, but it was fun, and you did the camera well ( which I'm noticing some games aren't ). Great job, scene transition was cool too. 3D Robotron.

hegemege 2013-04-29 21:30

Yeah, the camera is very quite sensitive. I love the arena theme of the game. The design of the level does make it really really easy if the player just camps in the corner though. The transition animation was a blast, I kind of anticipated something like that the first time I hit that button. :P

Great little game, could've maybe used some sort of soundtrack.

dem0 2013-04-29 22:18

A nice arcade shooter, overall. The stats room is cool and so is the environment. The arena was perhaps a little too small, though.

djts 2013-04-29 23:09

I like it! I loved the level transitions. I had a problem with enemies spawning right behind me, it was hard to keep track of everyone of the map. Good job!

ryebread761 2013-04-29 23:48

Hard! Frustrating when the guys spawn right behind you. Runs well though.

ataxkt 2013-04-30 00:50

Wow, nice for 48 hours! Yeah, the camera is sensitive, as people have said. Really like the level intro/exit effect, stunned me for a second!

gamenacho 2013-04-30 00:53

Pretty fun game, I liked the walls moving away animation it was cool.

haslettj 2013-04-30 00:54

I loved the transition between the score room and the arena. I don't understand what it takes to get a win.

chickentonight 2013-04-30 02:13

I think the mouse is way too sensitive, but it's a good game! Great concept.

dew 2013-04-30 02:14

You need a campbot check :P i passed easy stayin on the corner.

ANyway everything went great :D

swizzcheez 2013-04-30 02:28

Seems to be best to back oneself into a corner and jump up and down, holding down the mouse.

Entertaining anyway. GJ!

dalbinblue 2013-04-30 02:40

That got frantic rather quickly. I couldn't win a round either, it was fun, but I felt like I lost most of my life because the enemies kept spawning right behind me and attacking. If there was some warning of where they were appearing it would make things a bit more reasonable.

azykial 2013-04-30 03:50

Very cool minimalist shooter! Mouse is super sensitive when I was playing it. Loved the difficulty myself but then again...I love hard games so what can I say.

ilovepixel 2013-04-30 05:17

Nice shooting game, was kind of hard to play with the touchpad but it was still a nice experience

ilo 2013-04-30 05:55

Oh Jesus, those guys sure do creep up on you. Even though I knew it would happen it kept making me jump when it did. :D Awesome reveal at the beginning too. Good job!

somenetworkguy 2013-04-30 06:08

Beautiful game! But real hard. I like the futuristic feel to it. Like I'm on some sort of alien planet competing in a tournament of some sort. But I gave it my all, and couldn't even win a single round.

aestheticgamer 2013-04-30 11:39

The room concept was really cool and helped add a lot to the experience. The shooting mechanics were fun, and I do enjoy crowd-management in shooters, but I felt how the enemies randomly phase into existence in the arena took a lot away from the experience. I felt if you saw them coming it would add a lot more to the game. That all said, I had a fun time with it, and think if it was expanded it could be something very fun in ones past-time. I think maybe expanding both the shooter and 'waiting room' elements could strike a great balance.

mushbuh 2013-04-30 17:14

Kind of repetitive, but a fun idea!

kivifrewak 2013-04-30 19:07

KILL them ^^
I like it.

lightsoda 2013-04-30 20:02

Love how you handle the arena walls moving in and out with the scoreboard.

ragzouken 2013-04-30 20:14

The exploding room is a really cool idea! I think the best strategy is to just sit in a corner.

loxo 2013-04-30 21:08

I like the changing room, reminds me of the matrix. Sadly I won only once.

linuus 2013-04-30 22:30

Solid game! Love could have used some music and more variation... but it's nice for an LD!

metaldemon 2013-05-01 00:42

awesome fast paced shooter! I really like that you spawn enemies behind the player, this kept me on my toes! :D

jhrrsn 2013-05-01 00:58

An interesting concept, I liked how confined the game space was.

crazi456 2013-05-01 01:37

That was extremely amusing!

7soul 2013-05-01 02:57

Why is it that every unity fps that I play feels like I have 9999 mouse sensitivity? But anyway, this game could use some sort of power up system, or different levels and enemies.
You said you removed all elements of an FPS to fit to the theme, but by doing so you removed most of the fun. Next time consider adding some kind of twist, for example, removing parts of the body of the enemies by shooting them, which would fit the theme pretty well.

invaderjim 2013-05-01 03:28

Love the idea and effect of the room. Would like to see those other challenges!

ecool377 2013-05-01 04:24

Awesome game, saw mine in the livestreem.

netpro2k 2013-05-01 08:20

Love the transition to/from the stats room

nusan 2013-05-01 11:48

Fun game, those inexpressiv enemy look's like robot and are a bit scary! I also like when the room explode to reveal the ring ^^. I won, but only 3 to 1. Great job.

rwos 2013-05-01 12:34

Hm, can't get it to run on Linux (dies on start up) - I don't know if that's the reason but it seems to be a 32-bit executable. I'll try it on a 32-bit system later - but maybe there's also the option to export for 64-bit Linux?

bentog 2013-05-01 17:30

Simple and fun shooter. I like the mood. TIP: It looks like you are using the default Character Controller from Standart Assets, which has a pretty bad MouseLook script. I made my own character controller (which is also a Rigidbody) and I learned a lot from it.

bonezoner 2013-05-02 03:21

Whoa I like how the environment rearranges itself between matches, very cool.

tehskull 2013-05-02 03:42

Imagine how fun this game would be if it were an asymmetrical party game. 3 vs 1. 3 people controlling blue guys, one red guy trying to win.

michaelhaii 2013-05-02 03:52

Simple, but still fun. I really like how the room just goes away when you start.

meta87 2013-05-02 05:42

Hey thanks for the comment! Yea I realized level 4 was too hard when I struggled to beat it for half an hour last night haha. Fun game you made! Really good controls and graphics great job :)

sonnybone 2013-05-02 22:54

Very cool the way the walls pull back. I started off feeling kind of cramped then WHOOOOSH! It's very challenging, and I sort of hate how they spawn so close to you without warning and chip away at your health. But it's also very satisfying to blast away at the blue restroom logo dudes! I lost 2 games to 3. :(

rafaelsales 2013-05-03 00:43

Cool game. Congratz!

prelucid 2013-05-03 01:43

Challenging. Nice work!

janmavzla 2013-05-03 02:52

The game was really solid as far as controls and the objective. If felt somewhat lacking, but what it did, it did well.

I almost lost at the third level!
Keep it up

lotusgame 2013-05-03 10:25

Nice game ^^

ltyrosine 2013-05-03 11:38

I liked this game and the transition from the menu to gameplay. Nice graphics and effects for given time. Sometimes the enemies appear from behind turning things impossible but nothing that hinders fun.

Nice job!

doctor-broccoli 2013-05-03 12:35

The graphics are pretty cool, but the game itself just feels a bit incomplete. I get that you're trying to be minimalist but just holding down the left mouse button and aiming at enemies just doesn't quite cut it in my opinion.
I don't mind the fact that you have to play several rounds, I do mind the fact that all the rounds are pretty much the same (there may have been slightly more enemies in later rounds? I'm not quite sure.)
The aesthetics, environment and 'menu' are all really cool though, so good job on that.

granada 2013-05-03 15:18

Cool game. Nice job!

entity2d 2013-05-03 16:41

Fun, simplistic game. Well made!

free_napalm 2013-05-04 14:11

Decent gameplay, great transition. Different enemies would have been cool, but it works as a minimal shooter like this.

kefir 2013-05-04 16:26

Good job! I like these cinematic effects!

patrickward 2013-05-04 19:33

Nice job! I particularly liked the transitions and the lighting. Controls were intuitive, but I would dampen the camera sensitivity a little. Also, when the round ended, I always lost the target board (wasn't sure what I was doing at first). It might be good to reposition the player in front of the target at the end of round, so they can see it and start again. Beautiful graphics and sound effects. Great job overall.

mortl8324 2013-05-04 20:41

I jumped everytime one spawned on me

shugor 2013-05-04 23:39

I liked the idea, but it could be kind of annoying at times. My main problem was how the enemies could spawn almost on top of you without warning. The way the camera moved made it hard to spin around to face them properly. I did like the score room, as well as the transition. You did a good job of staying to the theme, too~

komiga 2013-05-05 01:05

Notes:

- Mouse sensitivity is a bit high. Might be due to my disabled mouse acceleration? Guess not, others have noted the same thing.
- This laser shoot sound effect hurts my ears.
- I like these screen transitions.
- Player: 0; enemy: 2. How does this work, exactly? Ah, there's a timer.
- Gah, web player decided to not capture my cursor.
- I lost. Replaying. It captured my cursor this time.
- These guys keep sneaking up on me!
- Good, they spawn in all corners. No camping for player.
- I've got a strategy now. Constantly rotate until you find an enemy, then charge at it until it dies. Rotate quickly and repeat.
- I won. 3/1.

- I like the idea here. Challenging due to spawns and limited play zone.

Things I would change:

- The laser sound effect. It hurts.
- Make the enemies more menacing.

messiano 2013-05-05 04:40

Finally got to play your game! It was pretty fun, I liked the arena and it plays smoothly. The transition at the beggining was surprising, great effect!

juaxix 2013-05-05 10:27

Cyberbullying AI! :D
I like the whole concept of isolating the place with walls to give the sensation of being in another room ,nicely done.
It's funny but a little bit hard inmo

fabricio-brito 2013-05-05 11:18

I'm not really a shooter fan, but it's really nice and simple. I enjoyed the "pod" for statistics and the way it assembles and disassembles itself.
Missed the start mention on the button, though... hehe
I liked that you remembered to check the mouse stuck to the middle of the screen... lot of fellows forget that and it's a mess to play right. ;)
Some accuracy feedback along with the number of shots would have been appreciated as well. Nice work!

thesarcastic 2013-05-05 18:56

Only problem I had with it is how the game starts :P You need to be a certain especific distance when looking at the switch. Overall pretty good :)

gatechgrad 2013-05-06 01:23

Nice minimalist FPS shooter. Sometimes the enemies would try to spawn on top of me, but I found that the best way to win is to stand in the corner to reduce the chances of enemies getting you from behind.

xgor 2013-05-06 07:02

Can't really enjoy it that much because how you can't really avoid getting shot and the guys keep getting behind you. Heck even when you stand in a corner they jump on at you at random and you can't avoid it.

justinmullin 2013-05-07 01:58

Not a bad little shooter. Kinda got frustrating that the enemies kept spawning behind me. The pull back of the "menu" room to the battleground area is really cool. =)

super-hamster 2013-05-07 04:05

Interesting game. It took me a while to figure out how to start playing because I didn't know you had to click on the rectangle. Also, I found that if you just stay in a corner, you will always win so I think rather then making it 3 games and you're done, maybe an endless where it gets progressively more challenging would be better. But besides that, it was a really fun game and designed very nicely and I very quickly got an understanding of the controls. Wow, this is a really long comment... Anyways, good job! :D

grimfang4 2013-05-07 16:21

Nice effects, but it is frustrating that the enemies can spawn right next to you.

phocker 2013-05-09 04:40

perhaps a little too easy -- kool idea and i loved the effects of exiting and entering the room -- great job!

freezx 2013-05-09 18:19

Pretty nice shooter. It's scary when they come behind your back ;_;

natedog9145 2013-05-11 03:12

Very fun & addicting game. Sensitivity may need some tuning but overall very good game.

littleball 2013-05-11 12:18

Not bad, a little tricky with a track-pad (but that's my own fault)

lightnarcissus 2013-05-11 15:49

Fairly difficult game but still the concept is fairly ambitious for LD and I think you did justice to it.

tiago-ling 2013-05-11 19:43

Nice and cool game! The player movement is a little slow, and the camera is a little too sensitive though.

It is very fun to strafe around and kill the crescent mob that is after you! Congrats!

udrian 2013-05-12 00:36

I really liked the effects when you entered/exited a match. How ever there wasn't much else to this game. Would have been more interesting if you threw in a power up or added upgradables or something like that

depp 2013-05-12 05:24

"First to three points" kind of pads out the game, and it's annoying when an enemy spawns on top of you. I love the transitions between the scoreboard and the arena, and the sounds are pretty good.

cogcomp 2013-05-12 15:20

Great fun! I like the way the enemies are knocked back by the players shots.

wisegamer 2013-05-16 13:16

Nice game, Loved it !

martin_monosys 2013-05-17 21:47

Nice game, but a bit hard... I hate how the enemy always spawns behind my back... Still pretty cool! :)

pacifistgames 2013-05-20 16:24

I managed to win!
What I liked: The way the room exploded outward!
What I didn't like: When the enemies spawned on top of me!

Thanks so much for playing my entry on your livestream, it was super cool!

sestren 2013-05-20 19:56

Staying in one corner seems to be a pretty good strategy. The transition effect with the walls between rounds was pretty cool to watch.

codexus 2013-05-20 22:08

Simple but effective
