I like the visual style, reminds me of old windows maze screensavers. The lock on and strafing mechanics were cool.
The gun looking like a sawed off shotgun but behaving like a precision sniper rifle was a bit jarring.
Well done.

I finished it. :)
Something that bug me.
- Move forward very slow.
- Right click on moving enemy. Player will move the same as him.
- Skip button.

@Frump
Thanks! I really liked this visual style too. Yeah it was supposed to behave like a shotgun in the beginning, but I ended up changing its mechanic without time to change the shape of the gun afterwards.
@oab
I agree with everything! Tried to make something different than just a shooter by only letting you strafe and walk by locking on. That didn't work at all haha.
Maybe I'll just make a regular shooter version of this later.
Thanks for the feedback.
Nice aesthetic and funny gameplay. Well done. It could be very good with normal controls for a FPS ++
I fell in love with the acid-esque graphics.

Thanks @QuestionableQuality, that was the nicest surprise! I definitely feel like I should have included the option to skip the dialogue, oh well.
