This game feels very professionally made and has a lot of polish added to it. I especially like that the AI wasn't completely terrible or too strong. The graphics are probably the strongest point.
This is a really great game with lots of polish and I think it fits the theme perfectly. The only problem was some weird key ghosting that appeared with the html5 version of the game. (The windows one was fine.)
@swen I was only able to reproduce it while clicking the mouse (frequently) and pressing the wasd keys. Not using the mouse or holding the shoot button down, doesn't cause the "ghosting."
@panda I looked into the error that you got and it seems like it might be browser reliant. (@anastasiats as well) Try using another browser if the game doesn't work. Sorry that I don't have a mac build for the game, I'll try to get one running for the next jam!
@maksime thanks for your comments! I felt the turning mechanic was sort of off but it was kind of a last minute adjustment. Now that it's after the fact I realize I have a few more better ideas than what I went with. :P
I felt the collision was off a lot (i.e. bullets were moving through the enemy and player.) but I really liked the entropy mechanic. The sound effects sort of hurt my ears though; it would have sounded better if there was some background music, or even just some sort spacey sound effects, to smooth it out.
I love how the game manages difficulty in a way that makes it sometimes easy and sometimes quite challenging. I also like that the level design shows all the doors before the keys, which makes it easy to connect the dots without much instruction. This is my favourite game from a jam in a long time!
