Hi, this a game I'm working on (istanaangin.itch.io)

Well. The collision detection and jump physics are rough in many places (which seems weird for a game that obviously employs an actual physics engine), the controls are awkward, the level design and graphics are uninspired, and there is frame lag when I shoot. The player is slow and floaty. The English is strange and there are numerous misspellings. I feel like this might have been enjoyable with controller support (which it apparently lacks) and better responsiveness. I would hesitate to even call this a prototype at this stage - it's a mediocre technical demo at best.

I think your game needs to look, sound and play much better than this at a minimum to even be noticed in the current, supersaturated indie game market, much less to convince people to invest in you. That your profile says you have yet to complete and release a game is not going to fill anyone with confidence. If this is what you can do in a month, I would much rather you released a decent game every six months or a good game once a year.

Good luck.

Hi. 1. Only for windows (I have only linux here); 2. From a not well known website; 3. no source. How to know it is not a virus ? A formatter which will erase all my pc and all my family's. Seriously, I will not download your game but I wish you lot of successes.
