I liked the intro sequence and the overall concept! I found the precise platforming a little tedious after a while, especially with how slippery the character is. However the sound design was on point! I especially the sound it makes when you hit a checkpoint.
What a surreal experience. Very cool and innovative use of the theme. I can see a lot of potential in this idea. The platforming was a little rough since the player character is so ...slippery, but I put up with it so that I could see what comes next. Were the missing textures intentional? I kindof hope so because it greatly added to the atmosphere.
Good show. Very clever use of basic assets. I found it very slippy-slidey moving on floors, but I eventually got used to it.
Yeah the movement is a little slippery, we were aiming for cluster truck style movement. And yeah @trifectuh the missing textures were intentional!

I feel like this game, and also some other games were made to be played on a computer that can run the game, and are meant for us to play. And also, when we play a game like this game or other games, we should look at it and hear it and contemplate the sounds and sights in order to properly experience the game. Generally speaking, when hearing and looking at a video game, while we play it, we can then also start to ruminate on what the video game is and what it means. The way it can have an impact on the humans who look and hear at the game is hard to quantify, but I think Plato said it best when he said that playing and looking at and hearing a game is a good way to then form an opinion on the game that we can store in our memory and recall at a later date. This is generally the method I have taken when approaching a new game for me to play and look at and hear, and with this game, I was able to properly proceed through that process and produce a polished partition in my mind that when I now think on I can confidently put forth the opinion that this is objectively a game which has been made to see and look at and hear and also play and generally experience with our sensual preceptors. 10/10
Ah this game is really neat! I watched it on a stream yesterday and it was really cool to see. The fading in animation and asynchronous loading is fantastic. I agree about the movement being a bit slippy in some parts, I kinda wish you didn't slide much if at all, especially when there can be gaps in the floor, and I did have a couple issues trying to walljump around certain objects, but overall it was a really impressive mirrors-edge style movement system!
Movement feels kinda hard to handle, but it definitely is very fun to shoot in your game! :D
Nice game
Well, I had a ton of fun! The random obstacle pop-in was fun to watch, the weapons were pretty satisfying to use and enemies were satisfying to kill. I love me some first-person wall-running as well. I have a sole gripe: the wonky momentum! I launched myself off the cliff so many times because of that, and it made it difficult to pull off precise jumps. Maybe it was just a bug on my machine or something. Regardless, it looks awesome, sounded awesome, and it was super fun to play. Nice take on the theme as well. Nice work!
interesting concept but some settings available for aiming/movementspeed etc wouldve been nice for accommodating players but it is a jam game so its hard to add those things. the level design couldve been better with matching the movement speed.
Cool concept overall. I enjoyed the variety of guns provided. Thanks so much for bringing it by the stream!
At first I felt like Neo after Morphius asks him to jump across to a building. Then after an embarrassing while I found that I could double jump. Took me a while to get the hang of jumping but it was nicely implemented. Loved the parkour-ness of it all. Especially loved the end battle. Overall a very great entry. Good music and graphics.
The climbing/wall running mechanics feel really really solid. The jumping felt good but was really easy to overshoot. I loved the whole progress idea and visual transitions. Really fun experience. Keep up the good work.
The wall-running and so on feels really satisfying, but there's a reason that precision platforming has such a poor track record in first-person games, and the slipperiness doesn't help any either. There also seems to be a missing hitbox on the two doors before the pawn? I had to give up on that part after not seeing how to progress.
@ketura Thanks for the feedback! Sorry you couldn't get past that part. I know the wall running we implemented got a little weird in certain situations. I know we can all get developer blindness to little quirks in our projects and I think for that specific part if you turn the camera to look slightly more at the wall than parallel to it the wall running sticks more. Anyway, thanks for playing!
I loved the concept and those final 2 air ship things were very very cool. Loved that the bullets were physical instead of just a raycast. I did not mind the slippery platforming that much and the variety and shooting made up for it, Nicely done!
Very cool, I enjoyed the different weapons and the enemies looked cool! I noticed the player was the default pill too, haha. One thing I would change is slow the player down, I was rocketing across the obstacles!
Well done.
Awesome game. Fast paced and fluid. Simple graphics fit together nicely and sound is adding a lot to the gameplay feel.
I had an issue some time after playing. After getting shotgun I fell and died a few times and some walls disappeared, which made me unable to jump to the next checkpoint.
@ryzy27 Glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately we spent a lot more time on the feel than on ensuring that there weren't any checkpoint triggers that could soft lock the game lol.
@raphiell Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the combat (that's the part I worked on 🙂). The player's speed is something we went back and forth on a few times. I'm pretty happy with the speed in the arena sections, but some of our obstacles could probably have been designed more for it.
@egawag I'm glad someone noticed my projectiles! They're actually hybrid/swept projectiles that I spent some time working on to get the best of both, since even at the slow speeds the enemies shoot at they would occasionally miss the collision check.
Thanks everyone for playing and for your great feedback!
Wow really nice game! Well polished and with so much weapons and challenges, really good made! Just the controls are a bit fast and at some points can be frustrating ( most of the times beacause you press to go back and it goes with the same speed as forward) , but other than this good job!
Felt like CS:GO surf on steroids. It was quite fun but also buggy, most of them were gone after jumping pr moving, sometimes I had to die and once i had to restart the game. (Some of many examples: i once jumped and never stopped jumping until everything disappeared below me, the audio never started playing the first time,i got stuck on some slopes and could move only super slow).
The movement needs some fine tuning and I would suggest an option for mouse sensitivity, but overall it feels very cool to surf those doors.
The checkpoints were also placed very fair. If I died due to a bug or my own stupidity I would never loose too much. Also the bossfight was much fun.
Would love some multiplayer shooter action with this movement, but I know how hard that is to implement.
"Impressive game, Very cool concepts. I left wishing that there is more. Had a lot of fun "
Congratulations!!! You made a incredible game. In my top ten!!
Mouse sensitivity was an issue but I am not gonna hold that against you since I could easily recalibrate my mouse for this game. I enjoyed playing a ludum fps action game. Not something you see every day.
I really like the concept and design! I think the platforming would be more fun with more precise movement and possibly higher gravity. Also, it would be cool if a skybox was added in near the end to make it feel more complete.
This was surprisingly enjoyable. My first thought was the movement felt very floaty and rather frustrating to control. However, as the gameplay expanded I found the challenge to be just about right. The decision to make it easy to get right back into the action made it easy to learn from my mistakes and ultimatly finish loading all the assets. The final bossfight(s) in particular were very enjoyable, if not a little too easy. (the second one never even got a shot off on me).
An Incredible and Amazing work you did there guys , Wish you the best of luck :thumbsup:
Was not able to each second portal - controls are too hard. :( But overall - nice try!
At first I was taken back by the twitchy controls, but as I played I found the core experience of wall climbing and shooting really fun! Precision jumping is a huge problem though, and I'd strongly recommend adding drag to the player so they stop moving much more quickly and smoothly. The easiest way to do this for a jam is to set velocity to unity's axis input and use input gravity instead of worrying about anything physical :)
Good game, but the slipperiness definitely gets in the way! It would be better if some of the smaller objects (like barrels) were a bit bigger, or if there was simply a way to slow down your movement to better get ready for the upcoming jump.
Overall a fun and interesting little game. I found the controls to be pretty good, but some time it would have been great to slow down the movement speed. But overall is this pretty well done.
really fun game. Loved the world building in front of you and the double jumps/parkour mechanics. The only thing i didn't like are the really slippery feel when moving. Overall it's a really good game
Nice job so far :)
