Many Hellivators

Howdy there!

My collegues and I just played and reviewed your game on our gaming channel on youtube.

It crash after I kill the first three mouth things enemies and I take the elevator .
-Make the damn falling intro skipable.

• Give the player some lives or Health

• Put death Pits only when its called for . The game literally is a Russian roulette everytime you try to down a platform becasue there's no way to know where you are going to fall and there's death pits everywhere . Use them only when meant a Challenge not a matter of Luck.

Okay, here's what I have to say:

• The art direction's good. You kept consistent with the style, and it's pretty good.

• The character movement is rough. Perhaps a slower movement speed, some slight momentum, and some better application of friction will help. Jumping throws the player up incredibly high, which would be fine if the gravity were rebalanced. I find that a value around 0.10 is good for standard gravity.

• The ability to skip the intro with 'ESC' would be great. Dying kicks you out of the game, which makes it frustrating to review if you have to keep restarting and going through the intro.

• So far I've only encountered one kind of enemy that actually attacks you, and that's the mouth monster thing. The other enemy is a shadow that's jammed in the wall towards the upper right.

• Effects are nice. the glow on some objects is pleasant.

• The concept is interesting. I think you should expand on it, and you should probably add some slight puzzle elements.

• The shotgun launches a bit too fast. A slower firerate with a nice sound effect would be cool. An inventory system to allow you to collect more weapons would be awesome.

Overall, I'll give it a 4/5. It may be lacking in a couple departments, but I completely understand that it's in alpha. I see high potential in it, and I hope you go far with it.

I tried recording this, but couldn't figure out how to shoot. The fact that it closes on death made it unrecordable. Hoping for a future update with that addressed. XD
