A fun and pretty well made little jam game. It gets difficult pretty fast, but the idea is fun and I had fun trying the game. Well done.

Controls are spot on! I found it fun :D

I like how the pumpkins rebuilt themselves. Nice job on building this game.

Nice job on your first shooter! I enjoyed it.

Also great job on the tutorial.

I guess the only thing I could suggest is add more innovative content or levels :)

Nice game. The shotgun was really satisfying to use - two bullets and a quick reload. I enjoyed stealing the pumpkins back. Good sound effects.

Good job.You have made everything I want to make.But it is a 3D game.That's what makes you different.Keep making game please.I love your game!

I really like the visuals for a Jam game :smile: Well done! Could be a bit more fast pace to be really good!

Congratz on your first FPS :smile: ! That was a good game ! I survived until Night 8 haha.

One small point to fix maybe, we can move faster by moving diagonally. You should normalize the vector direction in order to avoid that :thumbsup:

Good job on this entry ! :tada:

@gcake shhh!!!! jaja you realized! Let's pretend that it is a feature not a bug ;)

Good job on surviving until night 8, my max score after finding some more nasty things to do (with the way I programmed the "AI") is 12 xD.

Thanks for your feedback and Happy new year :) !!!

Was super fun and fast paced the more nights that passed!

The shotgun was satisfying to use and made me feel like I was playing doom again.

I think the fragments and the red spirits as they are rebuilding themselves should have the collision disabled. I got stuck in weird places alot after gunning down a few of them near walls and corners. Also maybe a more transparent material when they switch to spirit form.

The small pumpkins seemed to shoot off into space sometimes if they got hit while being carried. Some way to throw or launch the pumpkins back to the base would be super cool though, maybe being able to throw it in the air and shoot it or just a special throw button. That way you can juggle them back to the base if you cleared a few stolen ones in the later levels.

The sounds themselves was good but I think the higher end of them needed to be EQ'd. It was a little harsh on the ears with such a spikey sound.

Kudos on the tutorial also, it explained everything pretty well and didn't leave any questions.

Overall it was a blast and I could see a full game working out with some more mechanics added. Sort of like nazi zombies mixed with orcs must die / base defense hybrid.

Shooting pumpkins was very satisfying. I also like this "ritual" of going sleep and pickup up the shotgun every time. It was a nice addition. Good game.

It's satisfying to shoot the pumpkins and it has a nice ramp up of the difficulty, good job! :)

Had fun playing this one! Pretty well put together for a jam project :)

Nice work ! The gameplay loop is simple but effective, and it actually feels pretty polished, especially if it's your first time making an FPS. You really nailed the shotgun, as others have mentionned, the two shots -> reload feels just right. And bonus bold points for submitting a 3D game !

Shooting feels good! I like the funny sounds, the reload noise especially. I was able to find some success by 'flinging' pumpkins into the bins while sprinting. Overall feels pretty good to play. I like the chaos, and feeling like I only had a narrow victory.

This game slaps. Very good gameplay loop and I think it gets more difficult at a very good pace. So many small details I think are briliant like limiting each box to two pumpkins. The reload animation is also incredibly smooth. An absolute blast to play (I died on level 7), highlight of the jam for me.

The in game tutorial is well thought. Shoots feelings are cool. Lot of things done in 48h. Congrats !

Love the game, very good, sounds, graphics and functional mechanics. Missing a theme song, but other than that everything ran fine! congratulations on the project!
