About the Development
This game was made in 12 days for the Black and White Jam with the Theme "The Deep". I got absolutely obsessed with working on this game and I am really proud of what it's become. To be clear, the only reason this game had any chance to exist in such a short time was because I used the Unity Frameworks and Tools that I've been developing over the past ~2 years. As far as I could see it's allowed to use frameworks in the jam and most of it is free for everyone to use on the asset store. Still, I wanted to mention it because building this from scratch in such a short time would have been pure insanity.

Finally got round to playing! Had a good time with it. Some feedback:
Overall presentation was phenomenal.
I didn't use dash that much. I feel it would have been very useful, but there wasn't a situation that made me "learn" it, if you see what I mean.
I got stuck on the bishops and quit after a few attempts. The game before that felt super easy, and then the difficulty ramp up was extreme. I was frustrated that I had to play even the small amount of encounters again to fight the bishops. I was looking forward to learning their movement style.
Thanks a lot for the feedback and for playing! :)
I agree with all your points. I got a lot of feedback in general. Would love to take some time to remaster this and smooth out the experience.
Had fun beating the game, even if it was being a little unfair. Great atmosphere and very polished. As they say: HE does it again!
Looks and Plays like a great game ! You should make the gun match the atmosphere, some kind of gun that is let's say more "Abyss" or something from Scorn, overall the game has so much potential, will definitely give it a try again if it pops in my feed again, well done buddy and good luck :)
Thank you! Yeah the guns are from Kenney Assets of all places lmao. I would really love to flesh this out for a month or two and maybe put it on steam too. Really wish i had the time for that right now.
Nice game! love the visuals and the overall polish!
thank you! :D
