Jungle Rot

This is genuinely great. It gets all the PS1 stylistic beats right, it's very funny, and I'm so so happy for controller support, even in the demo! 

Feels like playing a lost, jingoistic Resident Evil, and that's maybe the highest praise I can give it. Can't wait for the full game.

Liked the game can't wait for more!

its a super great game, the art style is awesome and the gameplay though simple is super fun

Soooooo good job

very fun game! appreciate the art direction and nostalgia of the experience. would love to see what more you have planned!

Loved every second of it, well done!
Really gave me the nostalgic feeling, although I didn't play the original R.E. It was still very enjoyable!
Have to adore the easter eggs as well :D

Wow what a fantastic game, I could totally see this as a full throw back game, I love the vitnem jungle asthetic, the game feel real isolating, makes u wonder why more horror games dont take place in the jungle, if this does turn into a full game I'd love to see maybe jungle animals that have turned into zombies or entre villages. Agian great game, I can see the hard work you guys put into it, would love to see more in the furture

I have played through this game.And afer ive finished it ive realized how great of a game it is and when i have the money i wlii donate

After I pressed the play button and watched the initial splash screen with text, I just got a black screen and nothing happens. Nothing works, the next scene does not load. I tried different settings in full screen, in window mode, different resolutions, etc., nothing helps. Just a black screen and does not let me into the game. Please help.

Even though it was a little difficult at first, I still had lots of fun playing this game! What I like most about this game are the mechanics, the voice acting, and the cutscenes! The live action cutscene that plays in the beginning is my favorite because it reminds me of this game from the 1990's called Harvester, which is another game I really like as well! Keep up the awesome work!

Why does the live-action GIF on this page look like it's indeed from a movie?

I included this game in my third Indie Game Contest. For the first time the contest ended up coming down to a close 3 way tie and I had to figure out which game would receive a donation. Fortunately in the end I really couldn't decide on some fronts so I decided to split the prize in a tiered way for the 3 winners. Your game ended up winning a donation!

As for the game itself, what a joy this was to play. The only way I could really describe this game to others is that it's a labour of love and a true passion project. As someone who has fond memories of Resident Evil 1 and other classic survival horror games I had a smile on my face the entire time. It is clear the game is heavily inspired by some of the all time classics but it has such a unique feel to it that no one could ever call it a clone or copy in good faith. 

• The cinematics were absolute cinema and really added to the retro feel of the game. I can only imagine the amount of work you put in to ensure they felt just right.

• The controls for the most part worked really well and on more than one occasion I already knew impulsively what button on the controller did what. The only annoyance I did run into was when using the analog controls and encountering a camera angle change as it often caused me to run back to the previous screen and be attacked. In the end I opted to use the tank controls which really just felt like the right thing to do anyways. I mean, it just served to remind me more of the classics.

• The music and sound design was both well done and incredibly nostalgic. The sound effects for the menus, weapons, and zombies were all fantastic. There is nothing I could suggest to improve on this aspect.

• On one occasion a viewer of the stream asked "Wait, this isn't an old game?" and really I think that highlights exactly what I loved and celebrated the game for. It really feels and looks like something that could have come out alongside the classics.

• The level design felt natural and didn't seem low effort. The tight corridors and dark atmosphere of the tunnels felt claustrophobic and tense while the jungle environments gave me, although very slight, room to breath. The variety of enemies in the game was also a pleasant surprise, especially when the enemies fit the environment like the piranhas.

I just can't express enough how much I enjoyed this short look at your project. Thank you for all the hard work and all the time you have poured into it so far. I genuinely believe this game could turn out to be one of the best games to try and do classic survival horror. 

Lastly, congrats on your win in the contest!
 

A fun throwback survival horror. I'd love to see an option for tank style controls added to the full game though!

FULL PLAYTHROUGH:

Loved this really captures the old school feel of classics like RE and Dino crisis 2 I will be playing it again to find all the secrets.

Phenomenal game. I sure do hope to see more from you.

"Great game! One problem—whenever a spider's head gets splattered or an explosion occurs, the game crashes. Then I have to start from the beginning. Some checkpoints or save rooms would be nice."

Very nice. 2 things though. For the analoge controls, you can't turn left or riht while aiming like you can with the tank controls. Also the controller diagram in the options menu says L2/R2 Vert. Aim and L1/R1 Aim. I don't see any difference between the two though. They do the same thing is seems. I'm using an 8bitdo wired Ultimate Xbox One controller.
