Very fun, but I think the beginning is too slow.

I freaking love this art work!

Nice doom clone, it was really satisfying to play! Props on keeping it light, it ran smoothly even on my toaster of a laptop. Great mix of 2d and 3d art, smooth movement and clean controls. My only complaint (add me to the list XD) is that it was a bit slow paced for how fast the Player can move, it wasn't really threatening or challenging but that can be easily fixed with a few settings tweaks, gj! it was fun!

The enemy art is gorgeous, big fan of that! Feel like the pacing of the enemies spawning in and gun reloading could be made a little more swift to bring this to the next level. Great work.

Interesting idea, having guns change, and the stage fall apart, but I felt the game had too little feedback to really be satisfying to play. Aside from their death, I didn't have enough feedback on whether I hit the enemy, or how much damage my gun was doing. I also felt like it should be more notable when I get hit. Finally, some enemies felt kind of impossible to avoid, which wasn't very fun for me. I really liked the tie in to the theme though, interesting take on unstable!

Man I hit wave 4 and got absolutely swamped with enemies. LOVED the illustrations of the enemies, they were so cool. Really enjoyed the graphics of the moving ocean and the platforms with indicators was a nice touch. My critique would be that the style of the enemies and the environment doesnt quite match, if you could somehow add aa illustration like filter on the environment it would have been next level. SMG was OP af

This was pretty fun overall - the guns don't have a lot of overlap with each other, so the variety is nice. I agree that the time before/between waves could have done with some kind of on screen counter so you could anticipate when they would start instead of hanging out and wondering if something broke. Mixing the 2D and 3D art was a good way to get some decent enemy variety in a short time. Nicely done!

The graphisms are good, but I fell the composition is off? Good entry anyway !

@zapturk thanks for the response :)

It's a fun fps! I like the random weapon aspect and the falling platforms. Cool that there is a variety of weapons to use.

THIS IS FUN. This is great! The movement is fun and the gunplay is good in rotation! Wish there was more of an indication when enemies are spawning and possibly power ups that spawn during the round instead of just at the end. The art mix is great, the gun animations are solid, and the ability to rotate the gun when I don't need to reload keeps me busy as I jump around and look for enemies! I mostly died from falling though. I wanted to play more!

Amazing work! Worth downloading but a web version would probably be more accessible to more people!

Interesting concept to switch weapons each time you have to reload. The 3D graphics and the 2D animations look great separately but felt off together.

Overall well done it's a cool game.

Pretty fun! I like the graphics, music, and sound effects. The 1st two waves were not too hard once I got used to playing the game, but the 3rd wave was very difficult. So it could probably use some work balancing the difficulty. Overall great job!

Please check out my game if you get a chance.. We're trying to hit the 20 vote threshold.

Space weapons are, of course, interesting, but it's worth going back to Earth. Although in fact, now there are a lot of interesting devices for improving weapons, for example, [rangefinder](https://www.atneu.com/range-finder), scopes and other equipment such as binoculars. All it allows you to get more pleasure from hunting which is probably the most important thing.
