I really enjoyed my time with Freebooter! I loved the atmosphere, the variety of enemies and locals, the guns, the UI, and I cannot wait to see what you come up with next! I had some issues in terms of getting lost, audio getting too loud and not being able to see my controls was something that I hope can be improved upon in the future! Perhaps these can be solved within the pause menu if you choose to include options for volume and viewable controls. I also ended up dying within the second level early on, and was softlocked, unable to respawn. Aside from those issues my experience was very fun and I'm glad to have experienced it!
Really enjoyed playing this!
I love the idea of a game with movement like Ultrakill but level design like quake! Lots of improvement in such a short time! Check out 40:00-57:00 for my thoughts!

Here is a video detailing my comments. Sorry if the quality is bad, still working out how to use logitech capture. Overall, I think it is very good and definitely enjoyable
A ton of improvement in such a short time. Nice going guys. You should enlist in the competition (if there is any) Hands down it'll win.
Do you need a voice actor and/or sound designer for this game? I'm looking to build my video game portfolio and would love to help you!
I can voice-act anything from narration to in-game grunts! I've attached my portfolio below:

Nice blood effect, also the gun guy enemies don't shoot at you if you stand still
Yeah, we're aware of the bug. We are working on a fix for the next release which will be December 16th.
Thank you for the feedback!
