Definitely super juicy. Fast paced, easy to understand and yet quite deep (no pun intended).
I could easily recommend the game even for people who don't know the jam.
Ultra thumbs up for the fantastic soundtrack. It gives some real DOOM vibes.

I LOOOOVE this !!
Definitely the best game feel of this jam. The music is incredible too.
Congratulation to the team :)
Definitely one of the most fun games I played so far, great work! I also love the music!
That soundtrack slaps! It's a fun little arcady-game! (: The presentation really helps elevate it (or de-elevate, beacause, deeper and deeper)
Nice game ! The art is cool, the hardcore mood too. Sound and Gameplay are sexy ! Maybe some more mechanics can improve a lot this game but the result is great ! GG guys ! :D
You hit the theme well! I love the story, gameplay, and graphics! An addictive arcade style game! Nice work!
So far this is one of the best entries I've played yet! The soundtrack kicks ass, the graphics are clean, and the gameplay is solid! Kudos.
This is rad. The gun feels satifying as heck and those vfx are awesome. Would have been good if i could see a little futher beneath me so i didnt get hit by enemies i didnt know were there but other than that it was dope. Great Job!
Simple but effective. It's definitely very far from being the most original game in this ludum as it's basically a simple fast-paced arcade shooter/platformer game. But you guys more than nailed the feel of such games and the gameplay is the most satisfying ones i've met in this LD so far. The music was nearing perfection. The mysterious opening loop instantly catches your attention, then we've got a smooth transition into a more aggressive track which fits the action packed gameplay, same when we die, a smooth transition and a new loop that fits. The sfx also were good. Art was nice, especially the vfx that helped a lot giving the game its juice.
There's a few thing that could have been improved though : - We don't see the floor below & have no way to anticipate where we will fall. It means we can fall on top of enemies and take damage with no way to avoid it, which is frustrating. - Most SFX are badly spatialized and come from either only left or right side, which sounds weird. They should come more left/right but still be heard on the other side, especially if the sound is close. - It lacks a leaderboard. Leaderboards are kind of a must have for scoring games, and are not hard to implement, even online ones as tools exist to make it easy (here's one i've used in a previous LD : http://plassion.com/rank/ takes few mins to setup & implement).
Still a very fun & satisfying game regardless of the small issues.
Holy framerate drops, batman! Check your export settings on the WebGL build, it runs at a chunky 30, maybe even 15fps whereas the downloadable version is perfectly smooth in comparison.
In terms of gameplay it seems like it would be fun if not for the fact that it seems to boil down to "fall and pray". I have to say the gun is pretty satisfying to shoot, regardless, though. :D
Great music and its fun game with cool gun.
This game has hells of aesthetic, but I wish I could see what was below me.
The game itself is pretty simple, but damn that VFX and sounds are awesome!
Damn... I died miserably a lot of times... :-) This game is pretty hard without a way to refill your HP. I liked the sound, the graphic is nice and fits well with the game! A thing that I missed for a fast paced game like this is a shared leaderboard between the players (I've seen it in other games like this). If there where one I would have played it a lot more trying to get a better score! I also would have liked a longer vertical visual to plan what to do in advance and avoid falling on a monster and die miserably a lot of times. Overall a nice entry, good job :-)

This was a really fun game with incredible game feel. I really loved how all the effects and the music came together to make the game feel so juicy. My only real criticism would be the art in places felt like it clashed in terms of the enemies not fitting in with the overall look of the game as much as they perhaps could of. Apart from this really small thing, fantastic job!
Wow thats very polished game, great sound effects and graphical effects. I agree with roka-josh about the art. Overall fits the theme and is fun to play.
Couldn't agree more with everyone else about the game feel - it's absolutely spot on and so refreshing to see a good use of screenshake. The pacing was also really good - the game eases you in at first nicely but I like how quickly it picks up. The only thing I did find a bit weird was Terraria's eye of cthulu making an appearance here but other than that really nice work!
