Our first GameJam. It was difficult, not everyone is ready for this. But with the help of these things you can test yourself. Any comments and recommendations will be welcome.

Interesting idea. I really like the graphics and the mood is just great. However, I really feel like the gameplay is lacking. Consider maybe a faster shoot speed with bullets that do less damage, and / or screen shake and recoil. At the moment the game doesn't feel particularly fun, but making the player feel more powerful would make it a lot more fun in my opinion.

Not so bad for a first jam. I really liked the main character, he's cool with his hand in his pocket. The cooldown on the gun is a bit frustrating, with so many enemies i'd like to shoot faster

Sometimes the enamies just pushed me without doing damage? It's a nice game, good art style, I like the darting eyes animation. I wish the shooting direction was based on the mouse so you could walk one way while shooting the other way.

Thank you all for your comments. We will fix reloading

“Sometimes the enemies just pushed me around without doing any harm?” We did it on purpose so that each level was varied.

The game unfortunately doesn't feel too exciting to play, but I'd say the graphics were pretty good! I think it's definitely a good entry for your first jam. Keep it up!

Feels quite bugged, with sudden damage out of nowhere and glitching textures. But the graphics is fun, beardy guy reminds of some neon-noir with a hint to Max Payne or, say, Gemini Rue. The music doesn't fit, though, doesn't have detective-action vibe. Can't see how lift getting higher makes it deeper... well, deeper into mess, maybe. But the leopard carpet above the lift and some seems-to-be-censoured graffiti felt weirdly attractive. Keep up the good work!

This is a great first jam game. Even though the gameplay was a bit too simple, it's got a difficulty curve and enough polish!

Not a bad entry, the game feels a bit buggy when the character moves around, the control just a bit funky to me, sometimes the character it's jaming in the elevator and gets hurts but it seems not, also the character can move out of the elevator when the door closes so I'm not sure if I'm actually in the elevator or just got stuck in it randomly. I can't really sense the bullet movement, I just feel that the character just shooting towarda random direction rather than to the enemy I want to, maybe in the future update you can add like a line with an aiming sign like other 2d arcade games do, that would feel a bit more clearity. But I think this game has a pretty good foundation, it just needs a bit more work on the details and some polishments :)

Game looks good and the idea of heading up clearing/surviving each floor is nice. I think game could have a screen with controls as it was unclear what to do. When you just start elevator is out of screen and you have to walk a bit to reach it, but it was unclear that I had to do that so it took a bit even before I could start the game.

Had some trouble on my end getting this to run but cool concept!

The game is interesting but the colliders have some issues, as when im at the top of the level if another enemy comes running by and hits his head on my leg it kind of drags me with him, or i just get damaged, cool graphics, i liked the animation of the character
