This game is great. Loved the environment and enemy models, the collecting of energy was very satisfying. Music was nice didn't obstruct from the game or other sound effects. Only negatives were didn't feel that the up and down as well as the camera movement made any difference. Improving this could keep the game feeling fresh over longer periods of time.
Fun Game, Very intuitive, Nice Graphics, Relaxing music. But how did the trees get on the road, when the road looks to be in the middle of nowhere. Could have had the obstacles be more thematic/creative, even broken down cars would fit the environment better. Real Criticism. Could use some menus to one slow down the pace as it puts you right in the game but also to show your score/high score.
This game was well done, graphics were nice, particles are fun and the platforming mechanics were innovative. Criticism mainly focus around the environment, mainly things are too static, would help to see some movement or some post processing effects, however this being made in you own engine you might not have the luxuries. The player move speed also feels too slow.
Music is great! Graphics are simple but establish the environment well. Gameplay is a bit boring / tedious, specifically controlling each troop individually. Its an interesting concept but maybe add more use of the mouse and a UI to have faster interactions.
Game is well done. I won't call it innovative as I've seen many of these style of protect the circle kind of games. Graphics are good and fit the theme, particles and vfx are good. Could use some sounds, or is it an emptiness of space kind of thing. My only improvement I think is to just make the game bigger or slow down move speed. specifically the minimum angle between keypress was too high and many of the objects are small so it was hard to be precise.
The level was very nice, Models, Textures, specifically lighting was excellent, fit the scene well. Buildings were kind of small on the inside. Gameplay was very lacking. Think I killed all the zombies and doesn't seem like new ones are spawning Zombies don't do any damage. Zombies don't path find correctly (upstairs). A lot of debug things are still enabled, (Shooting messages, trace rays). The gun doesn't actually shoot if you are aiming down sights. The player's collision with objects is very strange, seems to get stuck on everything. Stairs are also a challenge to move about.
Graphics are amazing, sound is fitting, I love the environment of a nuclear reactor. However the tasks are confusing and tedious. The collisions are objects are strange the either don't exist or the completely prevent you from moving. I wish some of the interactables were a bit more forgiving with their hitboxes, have to be very precise when using handles.
Loved the aesthetic, lighting, audio, graphics, on point. The abilities were cool and added to the environment. The platforming aspects were kind of janky most likely due to the very strange controls scheme, but still very nice job. Some issues I had were:
Controls are very weird Why no wasd 😠Space doesn't jump, Mouse1 does Dying Respawns you in the void F spawns a collision box (debug purposes?)
Had a bug multiple times that caused jumping to stop working, I assume the onGround check wasn't being reset for whatever reason.
Graphics are pretty, no enemies, feels empty. Jumping feels inconsistent.

I really liked this concept. The different shapes for levels keep it fresh. Music and Sound Effects were soothing. I think having a different non flat texture on the worlds will help with distinguishing yourself at a certain spot in the level. On the ring map I went too fast and flew off the level xD.
Game is great! Graphics are appealing and fit the environment, Music is soothing. Made it to 80 and the water was moving very fast. Maybe make the platforms more forgiving (Platforming Ledge Forgiveness). Solid Game When going back to the main menu, release the cursor. It is difficult to play again because the cursor is not visible.

Graphics are pretty and consistent. Music and SFX are great. Good level of player feedback. Environment and story is great, could have just made the game loop part but the beginning really adds to the environment.
Only issues I had were: Sensitivity is really high. Music was a bit too loud Pressing escape releases the cursor but the only way to be undone is by left clicking, which if you are holding gun forces you to shoot. (proper pause screen?) Weapons sway when moving is very exaggerated possibly due to the high sensitivity
"Not sure if this game is extremely hard or you made some last minute changes that made it unplayable? I lose after like 1 second on both modes." ^^ very strange behavior
@hawke-games Glad you enjoyed it, I also had a lot of fun making it. This was my first Game Jam and more or less my first time actually making something with a game engine.
Some funny bugs happened such as:
This bug allowing you to fly xD https://imgur.com/a/6VGQxYU
and this very strange bug that caused a ton of items to spawn xD https://imgur.com/a/zIOxwHb
So cute!! god the art is so perfect. I agree with many an undo would be nice, as well as a way to skip the scoring animation. Wish there was a way to expand the size of a enclosure, like maybe the carapace can always fit in and then when he leave an extra spot is free for someone new. Cordon-blue is my fav
1000 score wooo!

Great Idea, executed well, Very polished for a game jam. Lacks a bit a replay ability imo, love seeing UE get some love in these, everything included in the final product felt well done.
So good! Art fits together well, glad you added different attacks gives the game more depth. easily 4+
Yea idk the reason it doesn't load, it might have to do with the large audio file used for the beginning music. There is nothing forcing you to harm the bunnies you can just sit and vibe for a while xD
Amazing idea for the theme, cute graphics that all fit together, not enough player feedback; regarding where items can be placed, no visual changes to upgrades, maybe a timer / wave counter
I like it. I thought it was an oversight that if you dont attack the game doesn't end, you can get free score by just afking. However the fps gets so bad that you can't xD (fps top right from nvidia overlay, i have a 4090) https://i.imgur.com/SfkUyRW.png no 69420 :( second fun fact if you attack at this point you instantly die but get a big score https://i.imgur.com/4ydxwJ3.png
Graphics are mid but fit the together - adds to the theme, love the UI for upgrades, camera angle is a lil odd imo. Gameplay is fun which is all the really matters. well done.
Very cute, love the art style 2d sprites in 3d world. Wish there was some puzzle element for avoiding distractions rather than just kind of spamming quack through them. Maybe some visual improvement to what is a duck vs food they can easily blend together. love the art wish gameplay was a little deeper :)
