Your efforts seem to have worked out for this being your first. Good job :D

Good job, the gameplay idea is executed well!

Certainly an interesting game! I have a few recommendations though, and the first, biggest and most important; **please have a WebGL version**. It makes our lives so much easier. About the game, I love the atmosphere, but I think you went overkill on the post-processing. The chromatic aberation effect is a bit too much in my opinion. Also, the movment animations felt very jittery, making the character feel slow and sometimes even unresponsive. The 'enemies' run away a bit too much, maybe there could be a 'blend in' mechanic to aid capture. At the moment, I'm chasing a single unit to the edge of the map, then having no energy to return and kill the other units. I really like the lighting effects in this. And the 2D cut-out animation further improves the visual appeal of the game. I also really like the compass effect on the player's feet, it makes the game feel polished and provides some useful information in a clean way. In general, it is very good to break free from classical 2D UI components! I absolutely love the visual style, it feels like a psychopath is plotting their next victims and the likes! Most of the graphical elements feel thorough, however the gameplay itself is rather bare. Overall though, it creates a very atmospheric experience, sure to score well in mood!

Next step would be adding some environment, so you don't move in empty space. Good job :D

I find the game very easy, and way to slow. I like how the game looks, but I feel the animations were too slow, and unnatural (Maybe add a few keyframes). Maybe spawn a few more opponent killers at a time, as one at a time didn't change my movement much.

I loved the aesthetics here. The gameboard feel was really nice. I felt like it was a bit too rng focuses unless I missed a mechanic. Nice entry!

An interesting game with a kind of mechanics. I put a rating) Please rating and me, thanks in advance)

Oppressive atmosphere and neat FX. It could be played like a board game. The movements are smooth and the main gameplay fits with the theme. As compo entry you did a awesome project. However I would like to say respectfully that (as compo) you have to share code - this is the rule. Thank you ++

Спасибо большое тебе за то, что ты сделал. Твой проект мне очень понравился. Тебя поздравляю ++
