Aesthetically and atmosphere wise very neat. The rest of it tho, from design, game feel, level design, camera placement, collision, and UX is very rough though. Still a recommend as it's a strong showing for a group of people starting out, and admittedly, game feel IS the toughest part to get right. Worth trying if you want to see some interesting imagery, just expect some unintuitive design decisions that might leave you scratching your head.

Pretty decent game, really good visual style and retro aesthetic Beat-em-up rush kind of game, one of those good ol´ games you´d have to slam your controller broken to get it beaten into submission. It could have been a retro game-jam winner, but as a Steam game I just feel it out of place and could have been more of a game out of this. I got death looped in the very first section of enemies and it´s not very intuitive on how you got to play it with minimal to absent clues into how to play the game. Once you get the flow of the gameplay you are skilled enough to progress, it´s defitely NOT gonna be smooth experience though, since you kind of HAVE TO DIE your way through the progression of the game. I still recommend trying it out as it´s worth giving it a shot, since it´s all just my own opition

A great short game that acts more like a proof of concept than an actual comprehensive game. However, from the inventive visuals and little gameplay that I have seen, I truly believe that the developers can make a unique and enjoyable experience if they decided to polish it into a longer game.
