Such a cool project <3. Love the aesthetic & it's a ton of stuff to have gotten done in the Jam timeframe. Preg progression on victory was a good touch too

If I had to suggest something to work on, it'd be what I see some others mentioned in frame loss when spawning the blood effects. The shotgun's especially egregious with that, but even the pistol was micro-stutering. Idk if EasyFPS has threading in there, but it might be something worth doing. Or preloading the blood asset.

From playing v1.31:
I wonder if the engine supports fake walls/secret walls, since Level 5 looks like it would have a secret room in the middle if one were to exist.

I do want to report that there is a major frame drop when firing the Love Shotgun. But it is very fun to see the imps slide across the floor when their downed from it.

Speaking of Imps, I have to agree with Karthmanter with the Imp sprites and how its a lil hard to tell what's going on in game when you defeat them. It does look like their covering their bellies with a garment in their fall animation, and their wings don't help explain the shape. Maybe have the wings more far back and emphasis the belly more?

One other thought I had for the introductory room of level 1, if the engine supports it, have like an open window where you can safely shoot at least 1 imp from the room so you can introduce newbies to figuring out how to fire a gun without making them feel like they're wasting bullets since the would have a target they can safely aim at in the level. The windows might also add new level design elements such as a closed window that you go past that shows where the end is, but you need to figure out how to reach it. Maybe even closed windows that can be shot at to open them, giving the player additional choices during play with choosing "save ammo and hope I can out maneuver the targets" or "use some ammo to get an advantage".

Been trying out Godot if you ever thought of trying a different engine to remake the game in after the jam, since this Doom gameplay has been giving me an itch to try and make my own Doom-clone (XP) Hence why the paragraph for the Window idea, and some of the ideas earlier, making me think about how to approach a tutorial like system without being handholdy and how to treat the player fairly. (Side note, I did enjoy finding the armor in the starting area in Level 2 :D )

I just figured out hitting [Esc] opens a menu to save/load your game, I've been just speed running through the levels I've explored to get to the new stuff lol.

I'll keep bugging ya with feedback, suggestions, and nonsense ;P Thank you and have a good day!

i don’t know what’s causing it but when starting the game i’ve had it crash multiple times when clicking “new game” and then a few times where it crashed while just starting the game itself

took 5 or 6 tries to get into the actual gameplay without a crash

Pretty cool concept. Essentially a doom clone, which is actually pretty rare to see, but the pregnancy aspect is not very obvious.

Levels are decent, though they are VERY red. The tunnels are relatively interesting to explore with a good amount of twists and turns. Wouldn't mind seeing a keycard or two, but it's hardly important.

Enemies are plentiful. The imps are a lot stronger than you'd expect imps to be damage-wise, but given how much faster the player is, said damage is easily avoided so you never feel forced to trade hits. I'm assuming if there were other stronger enemies, the imps would have more of a weak-swarmer role.

Music is great, fits the theme and feels very doom-like. Graphics, same thing.

The imps do grow larger when shot, but it's not very noticeable from a distance and the lighting kinda blows out their outlines when facing a certain direction (south/southwest?).

When they're downed it's not very clear that they're resting on their bellies, and looks more like they're covering their bodies with a cloth or something. It's also quite difficult to see the animation that plays when imps are downed due to the player's weapon usually being pointed in a way that blocks the view. One thing I noticed is that the imps shrink back down right after being shot, no idea if that's intentional or not but figured it was worth a mention.

It's probably out-of-scope for the game jam, but something like a player-preg mechanic could add a bit more depth by giving the player a choice between strength/tankiness vs speed/dexterity? That or having it be a visual representation of the player's health, so the player is essentially just as vulnerable as the enemies? Not sure how it would work given the doom-like perspective, but just throwing the idea out there.

Overall a very solid start for a game that I would like to see expanded upon.

From playing v1.16:
This was fun so far! I managed to play through it twice, first time without taking a single hit, and the second time I was a lil more reckless and tried beating it as fast as I could.

From a level design perspective, I would've appreciated the first level to start in a safe room so I could get accustomed to the controls before getting attacked. Maybe with a door that had a big letter on it to say "This is the key you use to interact with me!" would be nice for first time players of the genre that would help introduce the simple controls but not hand holdy enough to annoy veteran players of the genre.

Level 2 starts out a lil weird with you facing away from the door. I get that it is clearly telling you "Hey, food here!" but couldn't the food be put on the sides of the door instead of behind the player? Or was it supposed to have the player facing the door and the food was supposed to be a "explore and you shall be rewarded" goodie?

I do enjoy the floor texture for drawing the pentagram (level 1) and rugs (level 3), but this of course makes me yearn for more environmental design in the levels. But since this is in development and this has only been the progress for at least the first (checking...) week?! Noice! :D

Looking forward to this getting developed more! '3' Didn't realize how early of a prototype this was! (Maybe I'll see if I can't hop into the jam if I got an idea, though I should be working on my project lol) I hope everything goes well for the jam, and if you need any more feedback then I don't mind.

Thank you and have a good day!

There's no preg content...

I suggest adding NPC, who we bring something from enemies,  to see progress .
