Fun, few issues, but good game overall
I liked the game alot. I played through it in its entirety. Will say though it does seem to have a few things that quirk me with it. For instance, I like the sound of the gun, and the screen shake, but why doesn't Sergei's arm move with the torque of the shot?
A few other issues I had with it was that there were hangups where the game would zoom in on your character, and then no dialogue would initiate such as when you run into crew members.
I had a few issues with the actual play system, which was fun, but in all honesty was not the most challenging. I died on the last boss twice, only because I accidentally double tapped a direction to go in an ran off.
You did happen to place a few upgrade for weapons and such, but with exception to the 3 shot mode, there wasn't really a need to have the other clips laying around for the increased damage and increased rate of fire. It was a nice welcomed addition when I came across them, but I had already leveled up 15 times and was expecting more oomph for finding them.
Also, I didn't realize that you could hold down the spacebar to attack. For the first half of the game. Once I found out I didn't die. I'm wondering if maybe this game could stand to have a manual fire mode, then an autofire upgrade?
In terms of the suit upgrades I though the functions for them should of been dedicated to a another key beyond the movement ones. I found myself accidentally falling into goop and such when I accidentally double tapped.
Also, if you happen to make another one, and understanding this is a huge long programming issue in itself, I think it would be fun if you had actual mouse aiming in game. Right now the actual left to right aiming is nice, it sort of reminds me of an old NES game. But I'm thinking maybe you could use the aiming to your advantage to mess with lighting effect. Like the light was affixed to character's helmet area and he was just looking straight with it. If it were actually on the game, you would only have a cone of light. This could throw more horror and suspense in the game whenever you are in a dark room.
But other than that I will say this was actually really fun to play. Hope you come out with another. This kept me well entertained for over an hour.
