The mood is very good! I think I've finished the game, I don't see any more creatures and I've reached this... funny goal :D (Some creatures get stuck in the walls by the way) Good job!

Torching the enemies is super satisfying! :fire: I love the visuals, effects, and the voice acting! :thumbsup:

great voiceacting :) clean game, nice movement, shadows, fire and the like!

voice acting is really the trick of this game

A bit confusing until you figure out you can traverse the green slime. Unfortunately, the health bar disappeared on me and I died randomly a lot. All together, a fun little game, even if it was a bit short. Great job!

the controls are really smooth and I really like the sound effects

Really like the mood in this. The limited light and the insects. Very creepy. The screams are horrifying. Good job on the horror vibe. The voice acting made me laugh. Great job on whoever did that.

I noticed a bug where the creatures can get stuck in the walls. Usually you can still kill them though so not a big deal. Screenshot 2024-10-08 213628.png

Really great entry though. Well done!

Funny game. Quite some enemies got stuck in the walls but other than that great game.

Had a nice time with this, found the scientist I think (brain on wheels?) but nothing happened, so I guess I won still? My healthbar never went down even when monsters hit me and I'm seeing just now I shouldn't have played the web version so that's probably the issue. Anyway burning zerglings with a flamethrower is super fun!

I also experienced some of the enemies getting stuck in walls. I don't think it was really a game-breaking issue, unless something extra happens by truly killing every last one?

I really liked how the shots bounced off walls, that let me feel very safe staying around a corner and still being able to wipe out the nearby creatures.

The tank-style controls worked perfectly, but I'm curious if it would have felt even better if the camera rotated with the tank. Since the camera stays fixed, thank you for putting a light on the front so I know which way I was oriented.

Great job!

Controls were very smooth. General feel was nice like the art, audio, and lighting. Would have liked to have a more obvious end screen or something to let me know that I was done.

Nice work!

Nice use of shadow and light ! +1 point for the homemade sounds effects :wink:

What could be better than burning spiders with a flamethrower?! Only if you do it on a tank! Felt fun. Good job.

A very simple and fast game. The process is quite monotonous, but it made me think about Alien Shooter (very dear to my heart). Enemies sometimes get stuck in walls, and the green light does some very strange things. A special plus for the pompous menu!

p.s. By the way, what's that red bar in the upper left corner of a screen? Was that supposed to be a health or turret overheat indicator?

lelek-hunor-kadosa 2024-10-09 20:03

@daria-toni thanks for trying our game. (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

The red bar is your health...in principle. It became a bit buggy and it doesn't decrease for some reason with every damage, but since we didn't have enough time, we solved this problem so that all monsters do more damage. 🙌BALANCE🙌

btw... your cats in spacesuits are super cool ᓚᘏᗢ

@lelek-hunor-kadosa thank you! One of them is my fluffy boy :)

Super cool game! Loved the voice acting, and the enemies remind me of Gauntlet!
