nice music. good game!

I walked around for a while but only managed to find the source of bullets (once) and then couldn't locate anywhere to pick anything up again. The movement overall seems a bit slow compared with the sense of urgency (and the slapping track!)

the music fits well! love the art on the cover

control feels a bit off as if the character walks too slow, and boost jump is hard to control

also would love to have fullscreen mode

@ruruie, thanks for review. All sources are in the center of map. Main way to move around the map is dash (space button). But yes, we know, tutorial doesn't say enough about it, and about game overall

A nice little game, the ui Icons that show you where to go do help a good bit, but the movement still feels a little too slow, also I don't know if there is any real lose condition. The music feels really good and I am not sure if the was a rythm game aspect, if so, some visual feedback would have helped. All in all a solid entry!

@andidebob, thanks for these words about the game. Yes, there is some rythm for dashes, which are made for fast moving around the map. And lose condition is only death by monsters. We wanted to make timer for missions and points for mission completing (to add some meaning in the game), but didn't have time

Good game. It would have been nice to have a blood/explosion effect when you kill the enemies but still a great entry! Love the music!

Kind of gave me starship troopers vibes. I like the idea of delivering supplies to the front lines. I was considering a similar idea. I didn't know about dash at first but that would have helped. When I got to the place to deliver bullets, I didn't know how to deliver them or if it counted them.

@jake-g, thanks for your comment. Major Pa... Major Biteman said controls at start. F for picking, Q and E for dropping 1st or 2nd item in inventory. But yes, we know it isn't informative enough

Cool game. I had a bit of trouble navigating the world. In addition I would've preferred more polish in gameplay mechanics as opposed to things such as UI elements.

I got a bit lost in the desert but at least I delivered some armor and bullets to my soldiers after wandering around. Banging music! I would have loved some more movement options as I sometimes felt quite trapped and the enemies shooting through the walls didn't help either :D

Great theme for the background! Overall is very polished

The sound when you pick things it's a little low compared with the audio of the background (web build at least), because at first I didn't know if I picked something or not. Later I realize the sound, maybe some UI element could give more feedback

Took me a little while to understand the controls but chaining dashes together was actually really fun! The artwork was good, and the music was driving and did a ton for establishing the mood of the game. I'd suggest making the transition speed on the meters a little bit faster - it always felt like they were lagging behind what the actual displayed value was supposed to be. That's just a nitpick though - nice job!

Interesting game! I really enjoy the intense background music and the pixel art is also very eye-catching. Well done!

I like the setup of having the drill sargeant yelling at you, and the overall intense mood of it, even if it's just a small pixel art game.

It would be nice to have some sound effects, especially to go along with the music, which is really good.

I delivered (I think) supplies to the NW camp, but I didn't get any feedback on whether it worked or not.

Nice work!
