Tips:

  • Some enemies will only attack if they are facing toward you. Take advantage of their limited vision and sneak up behind them!
  • Higher platforms can often beby jumping from barrels or crates.
  • After a game over, you can try again from the beginning of the current level, but your score will be reset.
  • The shotgun is highly effective during boss encounters.

Hello

tried to download, Windows Defender triggered a severe Trojan into it, and removed the file

Hello,
Thank you for reporting this. Unfortunately, it is a false-positive by Windows Defender. If you scan with other anti-virus software, it should report that the game is free of malware.

downloaded the update, all fine now :)

the game is fun, i like the mechanic, high score oriented

is it possible to customize the gamepad controls?

i would prefer to crouch using the down on dpad, using RB is a bit odd to me

I'm glad the warning went away. Thank you for trying my game!

You can rebind the controls by pressing F1 and then navigating to Settings > Operation Settings.

In the previous version, the mouse cursor is hidden so it might be difficult to change the controls. I just updated the game to show the mouse cursor.
