A fast and simple shooter, where your ammo is your health, and your score is your extra health. Kill boxes to get more health!

My first ever Ludum Dare entry made solo.

Genres: shooter
Tools: Unity

Great fun and very impressive for a compo game

In the game, I can use a gun to kill myself, but not like you would think :D. This is a great game. Very hard but addicting. I found one "bug" I think. Bombs more than often just fall through the ground.

BTW you need to add a link to the source code, if you want to make a compo entry.

The movement is a bit weird and the game is actually quite challenging. I feel like the health should automatically pull to you instead of it having a dedicated button too. Overall though, the game is pretty fun, and I really like the art, sfx and the visual effect of enemies dying. Very well done!

Fun! I like the overall aesthetic, I'm a sucker for neon stuff. One suggestion, though, is to turn up the FOV and disable mouse acceleration, it feels a little hard to control otherwise. Still, good job!

@j0ye Thanks, I must have missed the source code part when reading the rules the first time. I've uploaded it the same itch.io link.

@random-thoughts I thought about it being automatic, but i felt the button made things a bit more hectic.

@sciman101 I didn't have mouse acceleration while testing it out. Could it be a setting in the Unity launcher?

Thank you all for trying out the game. I'm so glad you guys enjoyed it.

Loved the music! Loved the sound effects and cute faces on the cubes XD! Also loved strafing at super high speeds :D!

really fun and addictive. Only suggestion I have is a bigger maps because it gives you far more space to manuoever. This game reminded me of Disco Dodgeball on steam, which is also a fun game. This is my second most favourite shooter game for this LD44 :thumbsup:

Very solid. Didn't notice any bugs, gameplay is reasonably fun and easy to understand. Map had enough interest to use it against the enemies but still get caught out. Good work all around. I would've appreciated more interesting enemies (or maybe I just didn't last long enough lol), so that might be something to work on.

I really enjoyed this.. but it's very hard! nice and smooth though. Maybe jump could be higher to leap over enemies. Good job around though.

Enjoyed the neon aesthetic, and music got me immersed. Mouse sensitivity was a bit off for me, I felt controlling the character needs getting used to (I though always set mouse sensitivity semi-low on shooters so might be personal preference). Great job overall!
