Fun game, could use a lot of polish by camera shake and stuff like that

Whoa, my trigger happy is pleased since I'm just clicking away at the enemies while attempting to hack, so awesome! xD The pixel graphic style used for the environments and characters was gorgeous. I love it! :D There were several environments that were tough to navigate. Nonetheless, this game is fantastic! It's fantastic!! Thank you for a wonderful experience! :D

Awesome graphics

I really like the graphics and the sound design! reminded me of classic old games. Well done!

You werent lying about pressing E before 3 seconds, I got a big error message popup and the game crashed :smile: I like the graphics and the intro font was nice. Wish you could hold down the button to shoot. Nice shooter, good job

Made it to the end! The colliders in the last level seem to be messed up. Cool entry though, its challenging to find the computers and avoid getting killed, too.

I love the execution of the concept here, the rush between computers to hack them while under fire was great, quite enjoyed the music too, graphics are nice and clean too. Overall, a great short game!

I'd only add one thing, an indication which computer was already hacked, so the player would know where they have already been.

(There were also a few collission issues on level 3 but they were rather minor)

The time limit added some good pressure to the gameplay, though the limitation that you can only activate the consoles when there's three or fewer seconds left meant that I often just stood at a terminal waiting for time to go lower. I liked the ticking sound for the timer going out; it really added to the tension and provided a good reminder.

I would have liked to see some kind of indication of how many terminals I've hacked, since I couldn't always remember; similarly, having some kind of indication on a given terminal to show whether or not it has been hacked.

There were some niggles with colliders for some of the walls, but the level design was fairly interesting and varied.

It was fun, the sound and the mechanic is stressfull,which is a good thing ! The only thing that I found annoying is colliding with elements is somewhat strange: sometime I thought I can go behind, sometime between, but every time I got stuck :cry: (with a particular mention to shelves where I literally go inside of them :p )

nice sfx and graphics. fun and all but it was stressful to play because of some minor bugs and crashes. definetly can use some polish

Nice game. The timer here creates a decent pressure to the game play. I assumed reading the text that you have to use the computers before the 3 second mark, but apparently it is within 3. Graphics are solid and the music has this infiltration vibe to it.

I would've liked to know what computers have been used and how many there are left overall in HUD.

Good job!

This game has some bugs, like crushing when pressing E before 3 sec limit. The cursor in the main screen is not centered. You expect to point on the button with the white dot, but the active zone is on the upper border. Pixel characters are nice, but bullets needs more contrast. They are not visible against the background. The best thing in the game is the sound that warns you about the low time counter. Nice entry! With some polishing it will become a good game.

Nice one! I liked the music and shooting was fun. I couldn't see to find the last computer tho! :cry:

spacecadet 2022-10-07 15:58

Pretty cool game with amazing music. I think it would benefit from some aim cursor and brighter bullet to see a bit better the direction where I am shooting. Overall a nice entry.

Nice concept with the alarm, gets very stressful trying to find a computer when the time is ticking down! My biggest gripe was the collision on the character, it was very easy to get stuck on the environment, which didn't help when you were trying to get to a computer to survive! Overall a really good job though!

Great graphics and music, there were some collision and layer order problems but you seem to have fixed those in the HTML version on itch.io. I sadly didn't really get the main mechanic, if I pressed E before 3 seconds nothing happened, if I pressed it after I got a popup and the game crashed, it might be a me problem tho since other people seem to be able to play. The shooting and running feel great tho, and the sound effects really add to that. Nice entry

Fun game! I liked how there was a choice of killing the enemies (spending time) or not (and risk getting swarmed later). I don't know if it was deliberate, but only allowing two bullets "in the air" at the same time required adapting my play style (not just spamming left mouse button at range), which actually was pretty interesting.

bwalter 2022-10-16 02:26

A solid entry! It took me a while to get the hang of it, but it was fun after getting used to it

daxic 2022-10-16 06:50

Good entry! Love the art style but for me it was little be hard to play.
