Basement Mayhem

Nice work! The controls feel pretty good, I feel liike I was starting to get a good variety of wepons as I progressed. The maps/levels were very big but still fun. I think you have something really cool and if developed more could turn into something even more awesome!

Interesting game, I say the biggest downfall of the gameplay loop was having to find all the enemies, with the levels as large as they are with little to no landmarks makes it hard to tell where you have or have not been. So either condensing the level size or, making some form of mini-map or radar to help locate enemies would have helped the pacing a lot.

also The text at the start of the game is very much in your face, reducing the size and letting it breathe would make it way easier to read.

Good game overall, keep up the good work.

It was really confusing to learn the controls of the game. If you could populate the Ui with some instructions that would be really helpful. You could also copy-paste the tutorial text into the pause menu so that when you pause the game you could read them. I instantly forgot how to use medkits and mines lol

Combat was this game's biggest mechanic and I felt like it was okay but had a lot more potential. For example it feels pretty clunky to shoot or melee enemies. The knockback on the melee weapon isn't great and this combined with its low range makes it pretty annoying to use - and unfortunately the player is encouraged to melee in the majority of enemy encounters because ammo is a finite resource.

It was fun to play after I got used to the controls! Ended up dying to a large enemy on the 6th floor or something, so I didn't make it to the end 😥 I especially liked how each level had an introduction voiceline!

Fun game, but this was definitely overwhelming at first, I think since there's already so much HUD you could have added the button for mines and health etc. next to their name. It's not a complicated game but that's just too much information at once. It's also a little confusing at first because of the chest, idk if it's just displaying the gun for a while or if you need to be in the right place, but since I had to also change weapons to find it, it felt like I didn't have it yet.

The variety in enemies and weapons is impressive, and I love how it escalates, but the first few levels are a little boring. The issue is more with the pretty random levels, they're just big squares with a few walls, and it makes finding the last enemies a chore. The first 2-3 levels also had tons of enemies compared to the latter ones.
The line of sight based enemies are interesting, but the issue is that there doesn't seem to have a distance limit? At least it helps clean some rooms for the small enemies, but for turrets is feels super punishing. Some turrets turn slowly which is good, but most of the time they're turning while out of view, so you just get shot at from nowhere after a short illusion of safety. I think having a minimap with enemies as red dots or something like that (and maybe something to differentiate turrets) would have helped both with finding the last enemies and to avoid being shot at from out of nowhere. (and it's not that hard to get a small working minimap, draw a rectangle and then it's just a small cross multiplication of the position, room size and minimap size)

As for the final level, I think you could have made the rocket launcher reload faster honestly, feels more like a "let's have fun" level than a challenge? I ended up finishing the tank with the shotgun because it was faster :D

This game is bananas, there's so much going on here, lots of weapons, content and enemies, really nicely done!
I think maybe some kind of arrow on the sides to indicate where the enemies were might have been helpful and perhaps some on-screen prompts next to the weapons and med-kids in-case I forgot the key combinations would be useful too, but these are all just small suggestions, overall, good job! :)

Too good. It felt like playing Hotline Miami and Doom for the first time again. The exaggerated, compressed voice recordings, all the weapons you could use. Seizeless entertainment!

This game felt pretty similar to Enter the Gungeon which is a plus to me. I felt the camera was moving too fast when I moved the mouse and made me feel a little dizzy. Fun game overall, I beat it first try.

Good game. I did get a bit bored trying to find the enemies though.

It might be a little overly complicated with different buttons for mines, health packs, melee attacks, changing weapons, and shooting. Overall pretty good though. I thought the enemy ai was interesting.
