that was great

for me it was like doom but with bugs you did good.

Amazing fun :D

Like other people said, this is probably the most competent top-down shooter I've played online in a looong time. Weapon variety kept it fresh, and the level design was fantastic and very well detailed. You managed great pacing (something that few games seem to get), between the unsettling industrial-looking areas, well-lit desecrated offices, and that glorious "holy shit" night vision level. I'm really glad you didn't overuse that night-vision thing, btw.
I would have appreciated more than 4 "small" enemies and 2 "boss" enemies, though. Just a suggestion, but if you had a way for the corpses to rise again like in Dead Space, I am absolutely positive that you could make many people actually scream out loud ;)
Pistol would have been nice to upgrade, and i think an upgrade for the Vulcan would be great, because it seems to lack that "final weapon" feeling of power. Personal upgrades like health bar or speed would be nice, like maybe a sprint bar? With a faster character, the exploration would be more fun. The terminals were well placed, though, and the interface worked well with the game.
The music was incredibly well placed, with a lonely sountrack of sound effects on most of the levels, and some fast-paced music during some tense moments. As far as the sound goes, it reminds me exactly of Half-Life 2.
When I zoom in on the Explorer window, the game won't scale, but I can see outside the intended field of vision. I guess if you're having trouble, or don't like the tense feeling that you get with a small field of vision, that's a good way to make things easier.
When I used this zoom in the first swarm level, when I fired the China Lake, it seemed to hit everything on the map. I fired it to what should have been "offscreen" (but i could see it when zoomed in), and I could see EBE's from all over the map disappearing like they got hit. The "notice" bar would confirm that I got the exp. from all of them. Idk if you intended it like that, but it certainly takes a lot of the tension off of the Swarm mode.
There's nothing to actually complain about, but it's got a bit of room for improvement. But that just means it has even more potential :P I'm really looking forward to what you guys are going to come up with for the next game :D

A Great Game With a Few Flaws

Overall, this is is a great game that's very well made - I won't go into the good that this game has since so many people already have done so. Instead, I'll just point out a few minor flaws that I have noticed.

First, enemies are dumb in both campaign and in swarm modes; they just don't seek out your guts like you'd expect monstrous, flesh eating aliens to do and swarm you as soon as possible.

And that brings me to swarm mode; though enjoyable, it was hampered by the fact that blood piling up on the floor added up over time to murder my framerate - I recommend putting a lifespan on that blood so it fades after a while. I had killed to the point that the floors were black with blood, and could barely move, with two or three shots firing from the pulse rifle every second.

Another thing that I also found annoying was that I could not change the key layout manually - I'm a lefty, and play with the mouse in my left hand on this laptop. Needless to say, it was uncomfortable.

Other than these few flaws, the overall game was great.

Very Nice!

I was expecting something quite different. A hard to play and complicated game with basic levels that one could just breeze through. But instead I got your great game. Granted the monsters are pretty dumb and walk slowly to be riddled up with Pulse rounds, but hey.. I'm not complaining. :D
The graphics and background are awesome, I enjoyed the movie in the terminal area. The "tips" section really helped and.. I enjoyed the quick decision making you force on players when it comes time to pick up the ammo cartridge or to keep spraying the area whilst the door is being hacked.
All in all, I believe this is a really great game and this was time well spent, both in you making it and me playing it.

Quite good

But I encountered a bug. In level three it starts hacking a door. Then, just as the screen was about to go dark I picked up an infodisc. I was then killed while reading the info. After that I respawned, but the screen stay blacked. Sound still work as well as the controls, so I guess it´s just a dark layer that got stuck.
