I think there might be something weird with the movement controls and mouse sensitivity. I couldn't move at all and aiming took forever. Looked like an interesting concept but unfortunately I couldn't play it properly

I started sinking through the floor and the aiming didn't seem very accurate. The right click doesn't place blocks, either

Mouse sensitivity is too low. Right-clicking doesn't seem to place blocks?

Just thoguht I'd clarify a few things because there seems to be some missunderstanding between bugs and intended features. Right click will only place a block if you pick one up off a dead enemy. "Aiming" block placement is also wildly imperfect, it will drop where you tell it to but about 5 meters up and falling/physics/other blocks will alter it's cource. Also the floor moving upwards is the whole point. Don't drown. Build. Up. From the Abyss...

I found the controls were really slowed down (FPS delta?) but I really liked the art design/visuals as a whole. Had a really eerie vibe that felt like a mix of star fox and devil daggers

Nice eerie atmosphere (music seems a bit off though).
Aiming/shooting feels wrong, slow and imprecise.
