Hearth is a horror/action FPS which takes you head to head with hordes of monsters as you escort the last hope of humanity: a steam-train called "Hearth". Shoot grotesque monsters and use flaming magic to defend the train and guide it to the end of the tracks. Be vigilant! If the train takes too much damage and loses it's heat, the world will be engulfed in frozen darkness forever.
Controls ======== * WASD - move * LMB - fire * Q - Flamethrower * E - Phoenix Wings
Objective ======== Keep the train alive by killing the oncoming monster hordes. Use the Flamethrower and Phoenix abilities to defeat them faster. Each monster defeated gives the train more energy and speed. Loose too much health, or let the train get attacked and you loose.

First of all, maybe add some kind of recoil or camera shake when you fire the weapon to give it a bit more feeling of power as right now it feels quite weak. The graphics were really good, especially the effects on the Q ability. The enemies were creepy and nicely textured. Nice job!
The whole graphics and audio combination is extremely well done. The only problem for me was that the mouse sensitivity was way too low. So the game was way harder... Still I managed to finish the game (I think?). I am not sure what "E" does, but "Q" is very strong, so I ended up using only one ability.
The downscaled aesthetic is very cool! Overall a really good job on the presentation side. I was kinda hoping for a bit more oomph on the gunplay though.
Good art and the power-ups feels great (phoenix wing is awsome). I think it may need a few tweaks like the camera height or the feedbacks, but with those fully fleshed I could shoot explosives into an ugly monsters hord for hours !
I like it! As others pointed out the mouse sensitivity was too low for me. But I liked the aesthetics and the sounds! Thanks for your game, it was fun!
Cool game, the art and music are pretty nice! The monsters are a bit hard to see when they're far away, though(they blend in with the background a bit), and the controls feel a bit clunky. I would have loved to have a bomb to throw in the middle of a horde of monsters. :D
Really cool atmosphere, graphics and scenery! Gameplay did get a bit repeative, but the game wasn't too long for this to really bother. Gameplay was a bit laggy, but that might me a problem with my Macbook Pro.
Wow :astonished:! You really nailed this game! I would argue that this is the best game I've played so far! The mood was keeping the game tense at all times, and killing those enemy waves was very satisfaying for me. I just wish there were more levels :smile:! Excellent work team!
Love the atmosphere and the PSX aesthetics! The game has a unique feel in terms of the mechanics and the visuals/audio. With a little bit more time and polish this has the potential for a bigger game! Adding a bit more feedback would've been nice to see, but I probably rely too much on "juice" and screenshake myself :laughing: But overall a really cool entry!! Awesome work

Very well done!
Could you please share some info on how this was made?
