This is a mindless shooter I made over the weekend. I went along with the theme, and I believe it turned out pretty well.
Total Gameplay Time: 15-20 Minutes.

I'm a sucker for the classic Wolfenstein3D look. It's very easy to get lost though. Overall well done.
I enjoyed it but there is very little to do other than mindlessy shooting stuff :)
The audio bugged out in one spot and the enemies are kinda weak, you can evade them with ease.
I tried basing it more around a maze game, the enemies are there for fun :). There's not a lot you can do with the minimalism theme.
I feel that the Rage level (if the player dumps on the rooms full of enemies enemies like I did) completely changes the rest of the game in an extremely interesting way that shows an incredible depth of pacing. Was this intentional? Great job either way.
Some maps were more FPS oriented (Such as Rage), and some maps were more Maze oriented (Such as Creeper). I didn't one any real gameplay, but I wanted the player to progress as he/she went on.
Also, if you are wondering why Creeper has such a strange name, here is the map design I used for it: http://i.imgur.com/LJHdlPX.png (You might have to zoom in).
Fun game, I really like the oldschool raycaster style graphics.
Pretty cool that you made a raycasting engine in 72 hours. The concept could use a little bit of work other than that. Its pretty good. Nicely done!

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Awesome! It's like Wolfenstein without the nazis.
