Super fun Hexen clone is super fun. Mouse-look would have been sweet.

I had fun with this one. I would kill for mouse look, but it felt like an old school 1st person shooter which is always welcome! Well done!

I could not load the windows version. The console window pops up and gives a message about vsync and then immediately disappears. I was really looking forward to playing it!

Not a bad little game. I did find it hard to aim without a crosshair but other than that It was really good. Brought me back to my days of playing wolfenstein :)

Very nicely done. The first person magic spells casting reminds me of Hexen. :D Turning with the arrow keys felt a bit too slow though. Turning around with the mouse would be more enjoyable I think, even though it may feel less "old-school". :D

Wolfenstein?! Nice!

Really nice game, I like how you used the sprites. It was very funny too! If camera were controlled by the mouse, it would be perfect
