Hey Marco, fun game! While I never really figured out where I wanted to go, I think the movement feels great. Some things that could improve: please have a background for the instructions so they're easier to read. If you can, let the player out of the locked box to test the controls in a safe environment before playing for real. I got to shoot but couldn't practice movement. Also, I had trouble understanding when I could shoot again. Am I waiting for a timer? Picking up missed shots? I wasn't sure. Overall, I think that the feeling of really boosting up has a great sense of speed!

Hi Phil! I'm glad that you like the game, and thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely make the background darker for the instructions so that it is easier to read. As for the other points:

  • You can actually "squeeze" your way out of the box. I gave the player infinite ammo on the title screen for this reason ;) (I might expand the title screen in the future, but it is currently just the small environment.)
  • If you pay attention the the UI on the top-left, you'll notice that "particles" refer to your ammo. The reload is indeed a timer.

If you have any more suggestions feel free to post them here and/or join the Discord server for this game: https://discord.gg/DKqr89z
