Station Zeta
Station Zeta is a 2D platformer.
A spacecraft transporting alien life has crashed into a space station 5 months after disappearing. You are on that space station, and you are tasked with going to the bottom of the station, and enabling the generator.
You are issued a weapon that uses electricity as ammunition. The shots can be picked up again, but they will disappear after a while. You only get 3 shots, though, so don't fire them all at once.
SCREENSHOTS:
This is my first LDjam, by the way. Just wanted to put that out there.

I like the concept of the game. You have a good idea, the limited amount of ammo makes the experience very nerve wracking sometimes and the monster screams are pretty scary (in a good way!). The art is good and I like the atmosphere.
Not being able to kill the monsters in the beginning can be a bit off setting given how fast they can run. I would make the monsters a bit slower as if they run up on you it is nearly impossible to dodge them. Also it is not entirely clear where to go sometimes. You may want to add an indicator arrow to point where the objective is. It was a fun experience! Good job!

Quite an impressive game. :grin: I spent a lot of time not really knowing quite what I was doing wrong or how to get past an obstacle, but there weren't any I couldn't overcome, which shows a solid piece of game design! The atmosphere was also well crafted. You definitely need to get some more ratings on this! (Remember to play other peoples games so that yours appears higher in search results)
A post jam version of this game I think would be really cool, and there are definitely ways you can expand it not just in terms of content, but more importantly also in terms of mechanics. Very well done!

It can be quite difficult to see what's going on and where I should be going. I'm pretty sure I got stuck at some point, after getting the weapon upgrade, because I just didn't know where to go.
Edit: Finished it now. The ending animation is a nice touch!
