This isn't much of a game. It's a 10-minute experience within one tiny area that you have to beat three times over as it viciously assaults all your senses. Some silly achievements are enough to entertain you for a bit but within 1 hour I went from figuring out controls to reaching top rank #5 and now I have nothing else to do. This is just a tiny gamejam product - with polishing on top. It's very, very underwhelming; the trailers left an impression that there's a lot more to it. The whole meta about you as a developer running around "fixing" bugs with a debugger gun, putting game components together etc is neither clever enough on its own nor representative of actual game development. Like it's neither educational nor comedic, at least in my view. I did enjoy some endscreen jokes but that's all I got story/meta wise. [strike]The screen behind the spawn is non-solid and you can jump off the map at any time since the beginning[/strike] fixed but does not substantially change my view ...

Fun, byte-sized shooter (pun intended) with some clever ideas. Thumbs up.
Never had so much fun killing actual gamedev bugs! Overall solid, sweet and short game!
[h1]Rating[/h1] 8/10 [h1]Intro[/h1] From the director of the old-school FPS, Hellbound, he makes yet another banger. This one's reminiscent of those speed-run games, that push you to get the best time possible. However, this one somewhat let's you take your time, in the sense that you aren't flying at 200 kmph into enemies or hazards. It's fun, even if there isn't much else to do after getting all the achievements. [h1]Positives[/h1] + Good soundtrack. + Good level design. + Good replay value. + Weapons have good impact. + Good aesthetics and graphics. [h1]Negatives[/h1] - Not much else to do after getting all the achievements. Apart from chasing the leader-boards. [u]How To Run Out of Bounds[/u] 1) No V-sync Fix: Enable it in NVIDIA Control Panel. 2) SteamVR Opens Fix: Type -nohmd in the game's launch parameters.
I love this game
Creating and debugging a game was never so fun and I'm a game developer! 10/10 Unique take on the FPS genre, cool idea, great execution! It's short with great replay value, what are you waiting for?
Alright quick summary Alright so the game is rad and cheap. Humour is pretty alright. Length/plot? yeah its way short but its kinda the point of it in saying that don't expect a grandiose backstory what you see is what you get. Game-play? its an fps with a niche of its own that integrates into the gameplay its sorta both good for the ideas it represents and execution of some of them and at the same time its sorta bad for the lack of time to give those ideas time to breathe but that's a nitpick on my part nothing more. music is sorta subjective so look up the OST for yourself if you like it show em some love its pretty cheap. TL/DR: Its worth a shot if not a quick watch on youtube to see if you jell with it.
While my low play time might seem negative this game very obviously is highly replayable. I could someone who really wants the leader board position putting in tons of time playing this. I would honestly like to see more done with this. Something like a level creator or just more levels in general. But right now this game is a great base for an even larger game. I'm excited to see what the dev does next. 9/10
Small cute game, very short but entertaining nonetheless :)
Nice score chaser shooter, the last level spikes in difficulty a bit more than I expected but overall good time killer game
