I love it, bought and completed in one sitting over the weekend. Had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. My only gripe might be that the screen tearing is quite noticeable at first, took me a little to get used to it. Otherwise a total blast, might even work on the plat.

The first boss was one of the best video game bosses I’ve played in a long time, awesome!!

Thank you!

We're patching the screen tearing asap, it didn't show up on devkits testing which was fun to realize..

u/steegsa Feb 07 '23

Oh that’s great news. Thanks for the update.

That DOES sound fun! Any updates on when to expect the patch? I picked it up on PS5 today but am gonna wait until it's running tear-free.

u/IC_Wiener 26d ago

I think it will take like 1-2 weeks more, sorry for the delay!

While I have your ear, whose idea was the mainframe challenge mission, that caused many an explosive to be uttered….

u/LonelyDesperado513 Feb 06 '23

explosive to be uttered….

Either you meant "expletive", or you may have had uncontrollable diarrhea.

Gyro aiming and portable on Switch is where I see this one landing for me. It looks dope. After dead space.

2

u/res30stupid Feb 06 '23

Not the developers, but it is on Switch.

2

u/IC_Wiener Feb 06 '23

It's fun on the Switch!

u/wtfTooma Feb 05 '23

Just beat the second boss the glitch guy and let me say this game is awesome is there going to be more added after the story?

1

u/IC_Wiener Feb 06 '23

I'm glad you like it! You mean like DLC? No plans for that atm.

u/Doomsdays97 Feb 05 '23

Looks dope, gonna add it to my wishlist and maybe pick it up once I've finished midnight suns

4

u/IC_Wiener Feb 05 '23

TY<3

How's Midnight Suns? I've been thinking about getting it

u/FallenShadeslayer Feb 05 '23

It’s incredible! I don’t like turn based games really but it’s so good!

u/DominosChickenSalad Feb 05 '23

Looks really neat aesthetically

u/IC_Wiener Feb 05 '23

I appreciate it!

u/mustyfiber90 Feb 05 '23

This game looks great! Any dual sense features ?

1

u/IC_Wiener Feb 05 '23

TY! No dualsense features I'm afraid

Wishlisting this!

u/res30stupid Feb 06 '23

Shit, didn't know it was out. With Hogwarts Legacy and PowerWash Simulator, that's three big games I wanted in one month.

Just purchased it. Going to play a few missions in the morning. And BTW, having enemies only damaged by specific weapons is a great idea.

2

u/IC_Wiener Feb 06 '23

We're a big game now boys!

Thank you for the support. The mechanic is a fun little twist!

u/Digital_loop Feb 05 '23

Awww, not a premium Ps plus game (Sadface)...

I'm sure I'll get to it eventually, it does look like a lot of silly fun!

2

u/IC_Wiener Feb 05 '23

Hehe yeah, I wonder how you'd even get on that!

1

u/Digital_loop Feb 05 '23

You see a lot of indie games in that space, would be cool to learn about.

What was it like developing for a ps5? Did you need a special dev console?

2

u/IC_Wiener Feb 05 '23

We had our friends do the porting and PS5 didn't need any optimizations which was nice. I think they have a devkit yeah.

1

u/Digital_loop Feb 05 '23

That's freaking cool. I've always wanted to play around with that kind of stuff, but I have near zero coding skills. Learned c++ on Borland back in 2000...

1

u/IC_Wiener Feb 06 '23

It's challenging and fun indeed!

1

u/B_Wylde Feb 05 '23

This looks awesome fun

1

u/MassoFog Feb 05 '23

Does it feature gyro/motion sensor aiming?

5

u/IC_Wiener Feb 05 '23

Yeah it has gyro aiming

2

u/ArbyWorks Feb 06 '23

Gyro has made this a buy for me. Thank for the gyro support.

3

u/nickjacksonD Feb 06 '23

Yeah the fact that this small dev can implement gyro aiming but it doesn't exist in 99% of shooters is crazy. Gyro aiming is so good. I will be picking this game up

2

u/IC_Wiener Feb 06 '23

thanks a lot!

2

u/ArbyWorks Feb 06 '23

Also nice Futurama reference.

1

u/MassoFog Feb 06 '23

I recommend that you turn gyro sens to max, at least the horizontal, and do small slight movements so that it doesnt drift

2

u/cenorexia Feb 06 '23

Like Quake? Cool! M/KB as well?

1

u/IC_Wiener Feb 06 '23

I dunno if mouse & keyboard works on PS5, but there's an ability to rebind keys.

It's on Steam as well!

1

u/MassoFog Feb 05 '23

Insta-bought just for this. Thank you!

1

u/IC_Wiener Feb 05 '23

TY! Now I just hope it is up to your standard..

1

u/MassoFog Feb 05 '23

I will give you props just for adding gyro, not many devs do it and i love you for it

The game seems super fun and funky from what i see, the only issue i can tell you right away is that gyro aiming, although It feels smooth with small movements, seems to drift a bit with larger ones. Is It maybe because of gyro being set to roll instead of yaw? I think thats fine, but there should be an option to swap gyro to yaw since many people prefer that

All in all i am definitely going to keep playing, thank you for this fun game!

2

u/IC_Wiener Feb 05 '23

I see, it could be the case. We'll have a look into it and see if we can fix it with a patch.

Thanks for the support & feedback!

1

u/thegreatuke Feb 05 '23

Mind sharing what engine you used to build this and how big the team is? Love the aesthetic can’t wait to try it out!

2

u/IC_Wiener Feb 06 '23

This was made in Unity with a team of 3 and some freelancers for music etc.

1

u/thegreatuke Feb 06 '23

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know - I find it so inspirational to see how awesome/unique some of these projects can be with small teams nowadays. Will definitely be checking this out!

1

u/MassoFog Feb 06 '23

I think the main issue in the gyro is the fact that its emulating stick instead of mouse. Its still playable but mouse would feel way more natural and precise. Examples of good mouse gyro implementations on console would be fortnite, Cod mw2 and deathloop

2

u/IC_Wiener Feb 06 '23

Alright, we'll look into it!

1

u/street2party Feb 05 '23

Awesome news dude, you sound proud which is great to see. Hope for you the positive reviews keep coming in. Games looks great, I'll definitely give it a go.

1

u/IC_Wiener Feb 05 '23

It's a dream come true honestly! Thanks a lot!

1

u/DoctorGolho Feb 05 '23

Watched it on a stream, it looks awesome! Will get it as soon as I can

1

u/IC_Wiener Feb 05 '23

Thank you!

1

u/gnito1p Feb 05 '23

Added it to my wishlist earlier in the week, no doubt will pick it up when things slow down a bit. Looks fun.

1

u/IC_Wiener Feb 05 '23

Nice to hear it!

1

u/baby_landmines Feb 05 '23

Definitely putting it in my wishlist, saw the game in one of Civvies' round-up I believe.

Does it have mouse and keyboard support by any chance?

2

u/IC_Wiener Feb 06 '23

TY! We didn't test for mouse + kb on the PS5 I'm afraid, but it's on Steam if you got a PC

1

u/baby_landmines Feb 06 '23

In this economy?!? (Just kidding, but you get my point)

I don't have a PC at the moment, but am considering building one. Will probably pick it up on console though when I clear some games off my backlog.

Anyway, congratulations on the console launch!

2

u/IC_Wiener Feb 06 '23

heheh TY!

1

u/hbn14 Feb 06 '23

Man, I would love to play this on the SteamDeck!

2

u/IC_Wiener Feb 06 '23

You're in luck - It's on Steam and runs well on the SteamDeck!
