THE FACILITY IS SILENT.

YOU FOUGHT BENEATH METAL SKY.

AMIDST OIL, FIRE, AND BONE.

THEIR ENGINE OF DEATH FAILED.

THE CORE CHAMBER IS STILL.

THIS WAS ONE MISSION.

THE WAR MOVES ELSEWHERE.

THE ENEMY NEVER SLEEPS.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Every demoscene has its own story of where development hell is. How long did it take you with optimization and compressing into 64k?

This is the only game on internet I found that has something like this.. 

About a year, on/off. Worked on other projects between that too.

fun game. shooting was really satisfying. not as much gore as quake, but really loved the blood spatter from the enemies lol. very cool weapon designs too. would  be really cool as a longer game 

Thanks! I couldn't make it longer because of the 64 KB challenge, but I already have a few ideas for the next one and how I could fit more levels

Your game piss me оff. Despite all its advantages, such as beautiful, stylish graphics and captivating shooting, once you fall into the water, it's impossible to get out. Sometimes you succeed, but sometimes you can try for an hour and still not gain enough height to jump. It's simply unbearable. By the third level, you end up right in the water, and the jump simply turns off, making further progress impossible. I really don't like this.

You press Jump to swim up in water. Near an edge, you can jump out just like it was in Quake. Look toward the edge.

But I'll keep this in mind for my next game. I thought the mechanic was obvious but I was raised with Quake :)

Thanks for your feedback!

I love Quake too, but it still doesn't help me get out of the water, even if I press the spacebar as hard as I can. Although, a couple of times I managed to get out without much effort, just like in any other water shooter.

Perhaps the game is behaving incorrectly because my laptop with integrated graphics is too outdated. Many modern retro games don't run well on my device.

In that case, the problem probably isn't with your game.

But I liked what I saw. I'll be looking forward to more games from you :D

You press forward, looking at the edge, while holding jump?

The game has very low requirement. But the probe lightings might hit you still...

The whole problem is the broken jumping mechanic. When I jump anywhere, my movement pattern randomly switches from walking to some kind of gliding motion, like a character moving across water. In this state, the jump button is disabled, and I can no longer progress through the level. On level 3, this happens right from the start, and I can't get over small ledges to get into the elevator. I was lucky once and was able to move normally at the beginning of the level, but then I jumped somewhere else and got stuck, unable to jump to move forward.

I don't know why this bug happens. No one else here seems to have complained about anything similar, so maybe it's just me. It's a shame, because I really like everything else in your game :С

Lovely! I'll wait for the video, really interested in how this is possible in such a tiny size

Congrats, i very like the extra clean and colorful gfx

Amazing Quake-like FPS! And I still haven't found all the secrets ;)
