It was originally that way but was removed for balance reasons. Not much point to the whole health system if you can just run away and hit some bodies a couple times to get your health back.
I love the game and can't wait for the full release. I have one question, how can I reset the prelude to moment where i can select the difficulity? I know that i can change the difficulity i choose in the beginning from easier to harder in level select but how i can change that core difficulity without needing to reistall the whole game?
"Standard" and "Violent" are the only difficulties available in the Prelude. In the full game you will be able to pick from any of the difficulties in that menu.
The blood mechanic does not always work. A lot of the time you can be practically showering in the blood coming down off of enemies or bosses and getting zero health for it. The guardian of hell is really really bad for this and you basically have to be hugging their ankles point blank to get any health even when the blood clearly spraying all over you. This is really bad because the visuals make you misjudge where the health zone you need to be in actually is.
Currently it's a sphere collider rather than actually being based on where the blood sprays to make sure you can't get fucked over by RNG. I'll take a look at tweaking it, though.
this game is amazing ill 100% buy the full game, i don't know who is saying its hard but whoever it is doesn't know how to use their abilities , in fact i think you should reduce the dash time.
beat the game in about an hour, was very fun. here is the video i made about it
Amazing game, don't listen to anyone saying it's too hard, that's what makes it great. Not a huge fan of the PSX style texture warping so I turned all of that off but everything else about the game is absolutely phenomenal.
Some people might say that quake-esque retro shooters are overdone but this one stands out on its own in every way and is in its own league, I've never played anything like it.
Since you seem to have missed the response on the Discord, during the part in the tutorial that teaches you to dash, you're supposed to dash in the air to cross the gap.
thats what i did but the game didnt let me jump high enough i tried so many times nothing worked jump dash dash is the combo right? well i kept falling down
Can you show a video of what's happening? You wont get a high jump if you dash too early, but if you can't get that high even without dashing at all, something's gone wrong.
Just placed a sphere collider trigger on the player that checks when a wall is inside it. When the player jumps, it checks the direction by comparing the sphere’s position with the closest point on the wall’s collider. Then resets vertical velocity and adds upwards + direction force.
Amazing, love the old school DOOM style aesthetic, bit fast paced for me but it still good, like the risk taking reward system. I would add a bit of story in it (Haven't played it all yet), i like the upgrade system (ITS NOT LOOT BOXES) and cant wait for the final release.
Cant wait to see the real game itself looks fricking great and the ending to the first part FINISH IT ALREADY TAKE MY MONEY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE but seriously its really good :)
This game is insane. Absolute masterpiece. The gunplay is satisfying and the enemies strike a great balance between challenging and still not feeling like bullet sponges. I cannot wait until this comes out!
Is there a new version on any other website that is i can download. I seen level 1-3 on your youtube channel and though maybe there was a new version. If not thats alrigh cant wait to see what this game will have to offer when its released.
Sorry, but this prelude is all you're gonna get until the game comes out on early access in 2020. I post development updates on youtube and twitter so people can see how it's progressing, which is why there are videos of levels that aren't in the demo.
I absolutely love this game, especially coming from someone who dearly loves doom-like arena shooters. I feel that the graphical effects often covers-up the surroundings and I often die not from enemies, but by falling
Super Addicting! The fast paced nature definetely added to it, I'm looking forward for the demo coming out in the near future! And quite possibly, even A FULL GAME
I finally Complete the 5 level in ultrakill, FINALLY IT WAS REALLY HARD!! Now I am free outside and cool Ending!! You can see the truth in this video, Thank you for Creating the Game
Really cool game you've made! Everything runs real smooth and the graphics are a nice nod to retro games such as Doom. Speaking of which, I think you made Doom fans proud with this game. It is fun, yet challenging at the same time!
I have to say, at first, the camera was a little weird to me, but once you get used to it, it really works well.
Unfortunately, I did not get to finish the demo, but that's because of my personal preference and taste in games, not because of this game itself.
I've also made a video on my experience playing the game, feel free to have a look, and best of luck with the project!
This is one of the best pixelated shooter games i have ever played! It totally remainds me of DOOM game, so fast pasted and difficult to beat. The bosses gets harder and harder as you progress which i loved :) Great game i would rate it 10/10!

the swordsmachine mode breaks
no health bar
no indication
also game is a bit too hard
maybe... make it a bit e a s y e r?
There will be easier difficulty modes in the full game.
The Swordsmachine breaking I'm aware of but have no idea what causes it yet. The fight does still work, but you won't know how much health he has.
Oh OK thanks
cerberus is hard
now cerberus is a disgrace XD i didn't even fight him in violent mode yet, i'm scared
great idea and well made 10/10 a cool little detail could be that when you shoot a dead body and it explodes it heals you a little
It was originally that way but was removed for balance reasons. Not much point to the whole health system if you can just run away and hit some bodies a couple times to get your health back.
thats fair man gimme five ✋
i love this game i just wish it has controller support
Maybe for the full release, but no promises.
can you make a Mac version
I'll look into it.
I love the game and can't wait for the full release.
I have one question, how can I reset the prelude to moment where i can select the difficulity? I know that i can change the difficulity i choose in the beginning from easier to harder in level select but how i can change that core difficulity without needing to reistall the whole game?
"Standard" and "Violent" are the only difficulties available in the Prelude. In the full game you will be able to pick from any of the difficulties in that menu.
oh, ok. Thx, i thought i just fucked myself by not choosing higher difficulity
Makes me feel very skilled and cool while playing 9/10 definitely recommend it
great.

This demo alone is seriously amazing! GREAT JOB!
this game is amazing ill 100% buy the full game, i don't know who is saying its hard but whoever it is doesn't know how to use their abilities , in fact i think you should reduce the dash time.

Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
i cant pass the tutorial this game is a bit too hard i just wish i could progres
Since you seem to have missed the response on the Discord, during the part in the tutorial that teaches you to dash, you're supposed to dash in the air to cross the gap.
thats what i did but the game didnt let me jump high enough i tried so many times nothing worked jump dash dash is the combo right? well i kept falling down
Just once is enough. Dash at the height of your jump. If you're still having trouble, you can see me doing it at 0:20 of this video.
why counlt i jump that high thats unfair
Can you show a video of what's happening? You wont get a high jump if you dash too early, but if you can't get that high even without dashing at all, something's gone wrong.
like the game but some levels bosses are super hard
The full version will have easier difficulty modes if the bosses are too hard currently.
I cant get to upgrade menu by just pressing on the gun button, i have to click all the surface of the button to find position where it works.
Are you using the linux version? No idea what causes it but it’s a common problem on linux. Will look into it when I have time.
Yeah, i'm using linux version, ok :)
Hey How did you do the wall jump.
I'm getting into making games and would like help to make that wall jump.
Game Dev or otherwise if you have advice please reply
Just placed a sphere collider trigger on the player that checks when a wall is inside it. When the player jumps, it checks the direction by comparing the sphere’s position with the closest point on the wall’s collider. Then resets vertical velocity and adds upwards + direction force.

This game is awesome.
Btw, i was trying to produce somebugs. And here what i've got.
lol, that glitch is weird
Cant wait to see the real game itself looks fricking great and the ending to the first part FINISH IT ALREADY TAKE MY MONEY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE but seriously its really good :)
best game of all time. just wish full version could be free so i could play it
Just perfect. The coin alt-fire for revolver just blew me away. Keep it coming!
awesome demo!
Absolutely bananas and hard as nails, simply fantastic!
This game is insane. Absolute masterpiece. The gunplay is satisfying and the enemies strike a great balance between challenging and still not feeling like bullet sponges. I cannot wait until this comes out!
I haven't played anything as satisfying as this for a long time. Just WOW!!!
Unplayable for me... my aim just sucks, but it is an awesome game for who can play it.
Goodluck for the early access!
this is sick
Is there a new version on any other website that is i can download. I seen level 1-3 on your youtube channel and though maybe there was a new version. If not thats alrigh cant wait to see what this game will have to offer when its released.

I just beat the game and JESUS CHRIST! this game is freaking awesome! can't wait until full release!
LoL I made sword machine sleep and he's angery, I just punch him but he get angery and dies
i feel happy that i finally complete this awesome game, cant wait to buy it!
Played the demo on Linux, absolutely fantastic (and frantic).
Looking forward to the full release!
I absolutely love this game, especially coming from someone who dearly loves doom-like arena shooters. I feel that the graphical effects often covers-up the surroundings and I often die not from enemies, but by falling
Have you tried turning off or toning down some of the PSX effects? That tends to help with clarity for people who have issues.
thanks for the advice. After changing the settings, the clarity was perfect. Thanks for the help
Super Addicting! The fast paced nature definetely added to it, I'm looking forward for the demo coming out in the near future! And quite possibly, even A FULL GAME
Played this some time ago and had an amazing time with it! I enjoy coming back to it here and there and blasting more enemies.
My god. This is the sickest shit in the goddamned world.
This game was awesome. I did not make it through sadly but I did realy enjoy myself.
Really cool game you've made!
