Hi! I'm Kiakkers, I'm 15, and this is my first indie game. I have been learning game development since I was around 9, and to this day, I'm still figuring out how it's done. Development on Metal Goose began in June 2024, and any feedback you can provide is greatly valued!

This game is fun to play but rough around the edges with some minor bugs. but overall I like the concept good job! p.s. pls add more content I completed the game
Underrated as ♥♥♥♥, has some amazing melee combat and really fun
This game is basically in early Alpha- if you want an idea of how complete it is as I write this review. There's a lot of interesting ideas here. Bugs abound, but that was to be expected. There's still plenty of fine tuning needed for the game, but for this early on, it's not bad. To the dev: If you ever get closer to finishing the game, I would adore it if you kept the original sound effects as a bonus feature. There's something endearing about mouth explosion noises.

Metal Goose is honestly a really cool game. The gameplay is fast and fun, and it reminds me a lot of "ULTRAKILL", which I really like. The action feels intense and it’s super satisfying when you get into the flow of the fights. That said, the game still has a few problems. Sometimes there are bugs and I get some freezes, which can be a bit annoying while playing. I hope the developer(s) fix that in future updates. Overall, it’s a really fun game with great potential, especially if you like fast-paced shooters. 7/10.
from what i played, you can tell the game was inspired by ultrakill and doom, being a fan of those games i really enjoyed this, great movement is one of my favorite things in videogames, and this def has it, now in terms of the bugs, the game can get a bit laggy and freeze in the later levels even on high spec PC, in level 3 it gets kinda hard to tell where to go, enemies glitched into the ground, the player glitched into the ground via the battle axe enemy in level 3, level 3 is where most of the problems stem from great game, keep it up!, for a 15yr old first game is also quite impressive, also the music is quite great
дерьмо какое то
The gameplay is fun, there are bugs but what from i've experianced, none of them are game breaking I can see potential in this game with some polishing I really like the aesthetics of the environment
My screen used to be white, but i guess i was just tweaking because now it works. Great game, although the amount of ULTRAKILL references left me in a coma. I mean, did you really think you were slick by making the tv man say "Do you... Ever think of sleeping forever, fellow robot?" It aint 7-2 bro im sorry
Veeeery Janky and buggy. Needs LOADS of work still. Be careful with the sound menu. Its a bit of a buggy mess that is liable to blow your ears out. But also very appealing. Combat is already really satisfying. Especially when hits connect with the enemies. Never will forget what was my first hit with the Rockethammer. Some things I think it needs besides tons of bugfixes: - Actual ambience. - Combat music should cut out, lower down or change to something less hectic when out of combat. - Some of the weapons feel a bit are too slow. Burt I think the actual issue is the jankyness when switching weapons which I feel like its supposed to be an integral part of gameplay. if that is the case consider putting some of the weapons on inputs that directly fire them, like the grenade thrower in Doom Eternal. I'd love to built up heat with the bolt thrower and then unleash the hammer in a hectic moment. Having to change in the hectic of combat to the Hammer first makes me want to stay with the current weapon, especially consider the universal usefullness of the base axe. - The second form of the first melee weapons feels completely useless to me. - If it weird that the soldiers can't leave the pods after entering once. I would give a more severe reason, like that the soldiers need to basically be implanted into the pods, like the woman in the Homeworld game, which chooses to give up a normal existence so she can guide the mothership and last bastion of her people on their journey.
parry doesnt work in the tutorial. maybe ill take a look at the game in 2028 when the tutorial is finished.
