It was, ok...

Everything in this game leaved something to be desired.
With the sound design, the background music was excellent, but the sound that plays when you respawn is too loud and a bit obnoxious. Over time it gets really annoying.

The gameplay was a bit lackluster at best. The eneimes were easily avoided or killed. There was absolutely no penalty for death. The controls felt stiff and didnt give much freedom of movement.

The best thing about this game was the graphics, which is why I gave 4 stars. Everything was crisp and well done. But graphics do not make a game good.

Keep at it, your almost there to making something truly awesome.

Interesting, but...

The difficulty was far too great... when I play art games, generally I am more concerned with determining meaning and enjoying atmosphere... worrying about constantly dying, difficult movement, and confusing mechanics is not something I enjoy in an art game.

Neither fun or frightening

First of all, the controls, they were bad, there's roughly half of a second of delay after you do a jump/land, I am assuming this was your attempt at momentum, but all it achieves is frustration in an aspect that largely dominates the game play, platforming. The music was like rape to the ears, it looped badly too, I could almost always tell when the loop started and ended, the sound effects were fine considering it was supposed to be retro. The game didn't do much in terms of horror, I was mostly confused, wondering what was going on. The puzzles and mechanics were easy and uninspired, most of the "challenge" came from fighting with the clumsy feeling controls. The controls were counter intuitive, you have to stop to defend yourself, yet some enemies can attack you while they move and the shield becomes mostly useless quickly. It just wasn't fun, it didn't draw me in, and the level design had no rhyme or reason at times, random shadows, the floors sometimes looked like the walls, random invisible walls that stopped my bullets, some switches being unusable in what I am going to call, rage form, for NO apparent reason. Plus you have a button that resets the level, is it to compensate for bugs I was lucky enough not to encounter?

The game doesn't achieve any fun factor or horror, it was just annoying and hard to control. Also what was the point in the NPC's? I felt like they either were there for no reason or to just pointlessly be killed. Then there was giant floating head guy with a stupid smile. Oh hey I found him, boss fight? Waaaaaaait, what? He died from touching 3 switches? What?

>:C

Nope.

Though difficult and enjoyable at times, apparently the game decides if you die so many times it will just delete objects in the game which are needed to complete the area. I don't know if that's a bug or what, but that seriously ruined my experience.

Well...

I did totally lost a key and I couldn't retrieve it. Usualy when you die in a spike pit you can get it back but not this time. It has just fallen through the ground and byebye.

It happened into the pit surounded by 2 water things, like 3 map after you start to shoot.

Since there is no reset, I should start the game all over again but I just don't feel like it.
