I really like how the weapons feel when shooting. I think the hitboxes could be slightly smaller (many bullets wasted cause it looked like it wouldn't hit obstacles) and the weapon doesn't really point to the mouse cursor. Everything else was great, really liked the atmosphere!

How does the game fit the theme?
Protocol: Shutdown embraces the ‘Risk it for the Biscuit’ theme, forcing players to gamble their safety to save a console. Abandon weapons in search of something better, but every risk comes with no guarantees.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We used a few stock sound effects but aside from that everything is created from scratch specifically for this game jam!

I like the setting. Nice, sprawling level design to get lost into, and enough weapon variety to keep them feeling interesting. I had an issue with sounds occasionally not playing, but otherwise the game was smooth.

The Paper ThroneI really liked the art and music, I didnt grasp the whats goin on until later that i can kill with my knife (my gun was lost) I think the intro is a bit long, Overall Great work mate!

Dungeon DeadlineI really like aesthetics, it looks like Enter the Gungeon but in Game Boy. Having every weapon unique finishing move is cool and I love weapon knockback as well. Good game, nice job.

Crimson MistFun game, really cool enemy attacks and love the gun knockback. I found it a bit hard to tell if I was doing any damage with the knife since enemies didn't feel very affected (no pushback), but it provided more incentive to pick up a gun :)

Miner's BurdenThe game feels very well-made. I don’t usually play fast-paced games, but I enjoyed how you made the enemies move in a dynamic and unexpected manner. This felt very cool. The visuals are super awesome too. I died without making too much progress, though. Is there a way to restore HP?

MacabreMonger: McMacabreVery well made game! I love the feedback/recoil of the weapons, got bolted so hard one time, when u get swarmed it can get pretty hard, but once u learn the map u can beat the game easy, fun! : ) It needs more audio as otherwise the background music can get pretty annoying~

BiscuitFEVERVisuals and audio are good. Gameplay is classic and smooth! When the game restarts after dying, I cant seem to click on any buttons. Not sure if it is intended. I enjoyed the game!
