Impressive little game, always amazed by 3D games, and your models are really awesome. Also loved the sounds. Well done. :D Here's my highscore ^^ unknown.png

Fun game, I liked the models! although I couldnt seen to find a reason to shoot? Would have been cool to have projectiles you could shoot down before they reach you or something. Great work anyway!

Although the game feels a bit barebones as you mentioned, I actually had quite a bit of fun! The devil sounds and looks imposing as it should, and the gameplay feels nice. I would like to see more demanding attacks, like for example one that you only can dodge with a slide and so on. Congrats!

This is a pretty fun combat game! I liked the design of the bad guy, and even with his few moves he did keep me constantly moving. The fireballs would go into the floor and pop back up, so if they made some noise when they were close to the player, they wouldn't feel like they came out of nowhere? There could be more feedback on the guns actually hitting the guy as well, though the effect of slowing him down fits well.

I could get to almost six minutes, but with some more in the game I could try to last for infinity! Good job!

I decided to try a pacifist route:

Thank goodness he killed me before getting 10 stronger, that would have been scary!

The detail that went into the art and animations are great! And the character movement is better than some triple-a games I've played, kudos! If I had one suggestion, it would be to texture the arena, even if it's a really simple quick and dirty repeating pattern - I got disoriented a few times since I couldn't tell if I was moving on the flat brown ground. I like how the crosshairs is literally a cross, that's a nice detail. Good stuff!

I agree the game is a bit barebones but I think you've done a really good job on the design of the devil, he's got enough abilities that are distinct and interesting.

Moving around actually feels pretty sick, but I felt like I didn't really have a frame of reference for where I was going because the ground was completely untextured and sometimes the boss would teleport.

Still, there's some good gamefeel, and it kind of drove in the inevitability when I for a second actually thought "wait, where's his healthbar?" and remembered what the theme was.

The game is really good even If I'm not a big fan of 3d games (since it's more hard to make designs so 75% of the cases , it looks weird) , anyways , good work !

The game plays very smoothly and the boss attacks are a lot of fun. Obviously things get a little repetitive with an infinite health boss, but it was still a lot of fun. The yellow attack is a little difficult to manage since you can't easily keep track of where it is.

Got the reference immediately XD The boss looks very impressive and the sound design feels solid. For the game mechanics you did have, they were fun and interesting

Great graphics and animation in this one, gameplay was really smooth too, had a lot of fun.

The sound, animation, character design, etc. are all great in this game. This could actually make for a pretty compelling boss fight as part of a larger game. My biggest complaint is that there just doesn't seem to be any point at all in shooting him. Why even have a gun? Is there something else you can shoot that I didn't see?

In addition to the obvious Marvel reference, was that also a Battle for Bikini Bottom inspired shoulder slam attack? Nice touch. Honestly, all of the animation that went into this game goes a long way toward making up for the limited gameplay. Nice job.

Nice little game!

A pretty fun and well made little boss battle. Well done.

tanner-shelton 2022-04-21 07:29

My favorite part was the art! I really liked the aesthetic and think you did a really great job with that. It did get repetitive after a while, but I think the base for this is awesome.

Cool idea, the art of the boss and the guns and such were all really nice. If you were to replicate that style for the arena that would look really nice! Some music would really improve the overall atmosphere, and of course additional moves and such would help as well. What would be cool is if you had multiple bosses that would show up overtime, or some minion enemies you can actually kill, etc. Nice job!

Pretty fun, I loved the little CROSShair, was perfect!!
