Sevastopol is a top down action game. You must fight for survival, escaping the doomed space station.
The idea is a mix between Hotline Miami and the original Alien series (hence the name), featuring film-noir, Blade Runner-esque CRT monitor style art.
Controls are fairly simple:
* WASD to move * Click to kill * Mouse to aim * Hold shift to look around
I really enjoyed making this! First game I've actually finished in an unreasonably long time. I'd love to know what you think, and thanks for playing it!
You might notice a few collision detection bugs, especially with the AI. The code is absolutely awful. I'm nervous about making it public because it's so damn awful. I didn't go about 5 minutes without copy and paste.
The game was written with Love2D (using Lua). The source is on GitHub.
P.S. It'd be great if someone could tell me if the Windows version works. I unfortunately don't have a machine to test on.
Great game, love the mood and feel. You can get past almost everything by just spamming the attack, and at some points even knife enemies through walls. (Windows version works :P)
Great Mood, reminded me of teleglitch a lot. The game is simultaneously both too hard and too easy though - it's like super easy thoughtless until I barely mess up and then have to do the whole level over.
Fantastic atmosphere! I really like the restrained, minimalist approach to your design choices. One thing I personally felt was slightly awkward was the motion control. I feel that it may have been better to map the motions to respond to the direction that the character is facing, as opposed to the 4 compass directions. Kudos.
Incredible mood. The game play was strange though. I often felt that the only reason I died was because I could not click fast enough. The story was very provocative. It was a nice mix of mystery content to gameplay content.
Great mood! Audio and Graphics fits perfect together (I really like this soft screen shaking) Multiple lifes would be pleasant, but it already makes fun (windows version works)
The sound and the filter set up the atmosphere nicely. I also liked that you had a bit of a story to go beside the game. I died a lot because I couldn't click fast enough, which was strange, but I guess that was why I died a lot in Hotline Miami, too.
Nice fun little game, loved the graphics, and the simple feel made it even better. You've managed to find the balance between perfect gameplay and simple graphics.
I liked the tone of the game, the graphics with the audio matched really well. Felt a lot like Hotline Miami, which is what you were going for so good on you!
Minimalist visuals with just enough of everything needed to create a fantastic mood. The game play was simple and the timing for the attack got a bit to get used to. The difficulty dropped somewhat when I realised I could attack through the walls.
Very nice game! I really like the audio. It distorted my friends voice over TeamSpeak, which was very cool. :) As you said, there are a few glitches and the AI doesn't see you if you stand in the door, but nevertheless it is a great minimalistic game with a massive atmosphere. I'm not sure if a pen knife is really that unconventional, but it's great anyway.
Concentrate on cleaning up the controls (e.g. allow fast forward of cut-scenes, click instead of return, etc)
Also a tip: don't set to full screen unless you're going to test if the res is available. It messes up my X11 on linux, and I had to disable it in the conf :)
Really neat feel to the game! I enjoyed it. I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/eqkTJc6zIls

I discovered halfway through that you can attack through walls, which became my goto strategy. Might want to fix that in the next version.
Anyway, loved the game, loved the tension, didn't really understand the story but whatevs. :)

Loved the shader, well done!
