Beautifully terrifying void sounds! Would have liked to see that level of sound design on the other actions as well. Great visual effects on the portal as well! However, it was often hard to tell if my actions did something or not. Could use more visual feedback on actions. Overall good atmosphere!

It's a good start! I was a little confused that there was no indication that I was shooting the crossbow/swinging the knife but I did quickly find out that they were killing enemies. The abyss has a neat look to it and is definitely ominous... nice work

I had a hard time fighting the monsters, not sure if bug or not, but I couldn't see my shots or feedback from fighting. I like the audio, sets a real creepy vibe!

@corbeng @delicioussalad @khaotom Yeah, I mismanaged my time pretty severely. Weapon animations should have been one of the first things I did, but I put them off to the end, and then I needed 4 hours to fix an unexpected Unity Build Error when I was testing the WebGL build.

@rewdas Good void model/shader and great Sound FX/music.

Could be a fun game but there needs to be more feedback to the player, things like where is he shooting, making an effect when receiving damage, etc. The other aspects where very good but as a game it isn't very fun to play at the moment.

The mood is spot on! I got stressed every time the void started screeching. It took a while to figure out how to make more ammo and health, and still not sure what the grindstone or objects on the void table were doing when you interact with them. Also, I think the void stopped spewing enemies because one got stuck under the floor or in a wall maybe so I couldn't kill it?

The sound design is top notch. Really good mood. The gameplay was confusing though since I couldn't tell when I was shooting/where I was shooting.

the enemies were pretty scary even though they look like low poly rat blobs. also not much gameplay but it still feels intense.

confused , can you make this game simpler for players to play :smile:

Same as others, I used half my ammo thinking my mouse wasn't working, some reactive feedback when shooting would have helped. Like others, I enjoyed the atmosphere and creepiness of the vibe. Good effort!

Agree with others that more feedback that the weapon was working would have been helpful. I wasn't sure for a bit if it was actually attacking, until I noticed the ammo going down as I clicked. I liked the sound a lot but wasn't too sure what to do to progress.

I was very confused. I did not know I was shooting until I saw the counter going down, maybe spawning a prefab from the point of the crossbow to the enemy using a raycast would help. Also, I was not clear on what to do besides killing monsters.

The mood is great, especially due to the sound design. Pretty cool to see a 3D compo game, congratulations on finishing it! I like the idea of upgrading / reloading / healing while waiting for waves and battling in closed quarters.

I think adding some feedback when hitting enemies is necessary if you're looking to keep working on the game. Good job!
