it was a fun game. I like the Idea with the light. The start with the weapon selection was a little bit hard to "understand", but otherwise a nice game.

fun till it crashed :(

Oh... you listed it as a Html5 in the download section but it's only Window based... To bad I can't play on the mac. wish you the best!

Very nice and fully featured.

play-pause-games 2020-04-20 19:57

we really tried to add content to keep people playing together, it does have the downside of overwhelming players.

That was really cool, you put in a lot of features, I wish I had somebody to play it with, it seemed really difficult as a single person.

Surprising to see how much you managed to accomplish in such a short time. The selection screen was confusing at first like @sanicspeedgames said, but the sheer amount of weapons was pretty cool. I also liked the dude over the intercom.

Having your escort be the light is interesting but I feel like they should've followed you a bit closer instead of you going completely into the dark without light and getting shot at. The game's hard. I got killed a minute into the game, I feel like that is a bit too difficult. They can also get stuck behind walls.

Incredible weapon variety, solid combat, and the soundtrack is excellent. Great Job!

@hacktrout ive made the game a little bit easier and give the players health regen (top left shows health)

play-pause-games 2020-04-20 20:32

@hacktrout you can call the escort to you with right-click or pressing B, hope that helps

Screenshot.png I was shocked by the amount of wheapons they are and the fact that this game has multipayer (hard thing to do in a jam in my opinion).

Until i crashed. And Again. And Again.

So i gave up, and i'm sending you a screenshot of the crash: Hope it can help!!! (I tried to copy the error but he didn't copy it)

PS: I haven't rated your game because it doesn't seem right to me to vote a game whitout having played it...

play-pause-games 2020-04-21 19:13

@marxy-37 could you describe what happened before the crash? did you try not-ultra settings? (they disable a 3-d effect that takes up CPU) it also seems that the picture dosent load

i really hope i can help

PS: some of the generators take more time to load (like facility) try playing on caves or forest

marxy-37 2020-04-21 19:48

@play-pause-games I have not tried to change the map, nor to change the graphic settings: I will try to change that and see what happens.

I don't seem to me to be doing anything special: - I clicked "play" - I was removing player 2 (because I have no friend =C) - I was chosing weapons (primary and secondary) - Then, the game would freeze for some time and then show me the error page

This is what is written on the screen that i sent before (because apparently the image didn't load propelly on the system):

"Error main.lua:653: attempting to index a nil value

Traceback main.lua:653: in function 'cast' main.lua:1221: in function 'draw' [C]: in function 'xpcall'

Press Ctrl+C or tap to copy this error"

As said before, I will try to change some setting and see what happens.

@marxy-37 error seems to be caused by laser sights, will try and fix

do you by chance have a controller plugged in?

what weapons were you using? (as lasers are based on weapons and attachments)

adriankrawczyk 2020-04-22 08:56

its nice

defectivemelon 2020-04-22 13:36

Fun game -- Big props for local multiplayer and the amount of content you've added -- especially HAT SELECTION!!

play-pause-games 2020-04-22 13:39

@defectivemelon hats were the most important thing we needed to implement XD

This was super challenging and fun, I enjoyed experimenting with all the different equipment (grenade launcher and beretta combo was the only way I could beat nightmare mode). Took me way too long to realize you can break walls, but once I did, the game went from way too hard to just hard enough. It's a little unstable, I had a couple crashes, and I see other people had some trouble with this too. There were a few times I spawned in a tiny room on cave and had to chip my way out with my pistol. I think the reload speed could be a bit faster all around, there were times I'd suddenly face a bunch of enemies, and there was nothing I could do with both weapons I had without taking a 5-6 second reload, during which they'd kill me. The lower-power pistols and smgs are basically useless. Overall, a lot of fun, nice job!

play-pause-games 2020-04-25 02:49

@dmars glad you liked it! i do agree that the reloads could be faster, but we did that with the intention of having multiple people (so they could take turns reloading). i also wish i knew more about the crashes, i do my best to fix that and have never had the game crash on me, so i think its like a pc spec issue. but im happy that you enjoyed it! and impressed you beat it solo on nightmare! mad respect that you tried all the items and content!

rikitaner 2020-04-26 15:57

Nice amout of content in this game, good job! The gameplay is fun, but takes a bit of getting used to. There were some bugs like the score changing after dying, but it doesn't really effect the gameplay itself so it's really not a problem.

exainz 2020-04-28 15:11

its a nice game with 2 controls nice graphics style and font style and the total game size

nachodlv 2020-05-03 14:20

I liked the game. Playing solo was really hard. My VIP was always killed haha. First time I played with ultra graphics the game crashed, then I changed to lower graphics settings and it worked just fine. Solid entry, good job!

thibaud-ligneul 2020-05-08 08:15

Nice game, congrats on putting this much stuff in it!
