Я не знаю если ты понимаешь меня, но пробую. Я бы хотел с уважением исправить тебя. Ты ошибся, выбирая этот гимн. Сочиняли его в 2000 году. Во время убийства Троцкого, пели Интернатионал в качестве Государственного Гимна. Вот :)
It's a really good entry which is in adequation with the theme. I liked the graphic and the background music. However I have encountered some difficulties so as to displace my player. The colliders seem to me too big and I stopped into the large corridor, even if there is the place to go further. It can be easily improved, but it's yet enjoyable. Thumps up! Thank you for this game ++ PS : we need to know the keys to play.
My ice pick attack felt very finicky. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't, and I couldn't tell why. I got the impression that attacking a soldier from the front was more reliable than from the side, but that might have just been my brain inventing a bogus strategy.
Movement was also awkward. It was less of a critical issue, but colliding with a soldier apparently caused the game to forget that I was still holding down a movement key, because if I killed the soldier, or he moved, or I moved to the side (while still holding down the original key also), I had to repress the movement key to get moving again.
Between those issues and semi-unskippable cutscenes, I made it to the second level twice before I just gave up.
i am sorry, but imho, it's not good point of view to make games about war and conflicts, but you did it in another way with the peace of fun. well done!
Unfortunately very buggy. Kept getting stuck on dead soldiers, and half the time my ice pick seemed to do nothing. Wasn't able to make it past the third level.
The concept is good, and the graphics were pretty decent. However, the game was pretty glitchy for me - I got stuck on terrain or invisible guards a lot, and often couldn't attack. I'd say some more focus on bug fixing would be a great way to make this a lot more fun!
