Uploaded a mac build, I guess it should work...

I like the mood of your game and the graphics are very neat! I liked the puzzle parts as well.

I had difficulty playing it for the following reasons: no azerty support (arrows work but the control scheme is difficult) and the mouse look also didn't move the character. This made navigating the enemies very difficult. Overall good entry!

nice hero graphics, some objects did not fit and a little confusing on what to do

Psychedelic and eery atmosphere, especially the music. I couldnt shake the feeling, doing something very bad when I burn those dudes and they explode into those little life balls. And the music! Very creepy!

While the low lighting makes for a nice atmosphere, it also made the game hard to actually play.

Game was pretty fun. In the end I player mostly with stealth, worked better than trying to fight.

As mentionned, very atmospheric. Looks good and surreal.

Good job!

Nice work. Not easy to make a 3D game in such a short delay. Ît was lagy on my end but that comes from me I guess. I regret the lack of feedback (visual&sounds) uppon damaging enemies, took me a while to figure out I could actually kill them. So even tho the gameplay is a bit clumsy at this point of development, I like the idea of being some badass dark lord which burn stuff around him ^^

Wow, you worked hard! Controls are a little bit difficult but good job!

benmcnelly 2015-08-27 01:31

This is a really good start, has lots of issues but I can tell you put in the hours on this one :)

bouletmarc 2015-08-27 02:08

nice game, well done

Nice Atmosphere!

Mac Version: "Cannot be opened". Corrupted?

Its a little hard to see if you are doing any damage to the enemies. But it was satisfying seeing them collapse into a group of power balls. The graphics look nice, they add a lot to the total atmosphere. It was pretty unclear what to do in the beginning, but after a few minutes I got the hang of it. Though I noticed that running right into the monster with your laser was an easy tactic to make short work of it, which kind of killed the challenge a little. I would have also liked to see some more enemy types. I believe there are only 2 in the game, one being the guys with the blue goggles and the other being the turret. But I believe the turret was only used once in all the rooms, which is a shame! All in all a really nice game.

The audio and lighting make for a nice mood, but the lighting is so low that it makes it difficult to see what is going on some of the time. It could benefit from a few more instructions too. There is definitely potential though, creating a 3d game in the time period is a great achievement!

A bit chaotic and cryptic, but nice idea and game design.

alexset 2015-08-28 22:10

Thank you all for your feedback, much appreciated :)
As for mac issue, one post suggested me to zip the app file, try downloading it again, can't really test without a mac :/

minionstudios 2015-08-28 23:24

Very interesting! The weapons seem a bit weak, but the idea is really sweet.

peecestudios 2015-08-29 00:57

THAT WAS AWESOME! better than most games. Good job

slashee-the-cow 2015-08-29 04:35

Awesome graphics! Weapons seemed a little weak, hard to aim the laser and the orb didn't seem to do anything. But still a hell of a lot of game for a short amount of time!

- graphics look good, you should try attaching a point lights to the more stuff, like the orbs you shoot.
- movement feels good
- i cant seem to kill enemies
- it is hard to aim the laser
- i managed to win, by just avoiding enemies
- a few times i had problem where it let the mouse go off the screen and when i clicked it got minimized

joshkomie 2015-08-30 17:39

Really nice! Great atmosphere, and the different abilities were neat and fun to use as well.

felipeberquo 2015-08-31 01:30

Although I had some difficult to aim, everything else was good. Really liked it.
Congrats!

fieronz 2015-08-31 02:58

Quite interesting to explore but It's really really hard to see anything, and the fact that the camera always faces the same direction makes it really hard to fight some enemies coming from certain directions.

arnage 2015-08-31 07:38

Regarding the control issues people are having: by linking the laser directly to your movement it becomes very hard to avoid the incoming fire. If you linked the laser to the view direction you could strafe around enemies and add a bit more strategy to the gameplay.

aaranos 2015-08-31 22:48

Went through the game and it's pretty fun. I will say you can avoid fights by sniping with orbs and also move faster by going sideways. I also would of liked an exit game once done. Other than that nice multi-leveled game, in 3d no less.

jofra 2015-09-06 22:21

A bit hard to understand but i like the mood a lot :)
wish the graphics had a bit more polishment, but i know how hard that is.

Nice game with good atmosphere, good job! ;)

superfreak 2015-09-14 10:47

Great mood - took me a while to figure out what to do / what was going on but overall a great entry - great job!

jupiter_hadley 2015-10-19 22:28

Cool game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/HYvDqXC_RQg
