Nope. Core combat works but the level design seems to go from bad to worse. And most importantly I've run out of all ammo twice now, on level 2 and 3 respectively. I've already been trying to conserve ammo, go for headshots, never miss etc, and yet I run out of ammo on ALL weapons. Which means I have to voluntarily die and restart since I don't have a melee weapon and neither can I proceed until all the enemies in the room are dead. I imagine I probably missed some secrets but it's not appealing to explore the extremely dull and dark environments. I feel like I'm always several ammo boxes away from being able to progress to the next level at all. Also had an instance where an enemy died but his sprite froze in place and it never registered that he's actually dead (game won't let me proceed further) so there's another softlock.

Surprisingly fun for under a buck. In future installments or projects I think ammo either needs to be more abundant or the mechanic for generating more needs to be a bit more interesting.

Good game. Quick, fun and relaxing

Good effort. The theme makes me grin. Made by students so go in with the according level of expectation. It takes about an hour to beat. More than worth the nothing it costs on sale... but not sure I'd want to pay full price given that I can get the same gameplay but better by downloading some 10 year old's first classic Doom map. Next time you kids release your ghetto Doom 2016-inspired first year college project (literally) as a Steam game, let me rebind my keys yeah? Shotgun at 2, wtf. It's 3 and it should always be 3. And ffs, bugtest your games! I've fallen through the map twice and been softlocked by a bear that got stuck between an alive and dead state, all within an hour of play. The simpler your game is, and this is VERY simple, the less excusable bugs are. That being said, it does most of the right things for what it is, and combat is suitably challenging. Enjoyable, but not without some issues such as occasional bugs and level design problems... there needs to be more landmarks and texture variety.
