Rather basic game-jam title though.

For something done in 7 days, that's awesome! I can't really test it now, but can you destroy the buildings?

The enemies can if I remember correctly.

Is it FOSS? I know the FTE QuakeWorld engine is, but I'm not sure if the QuakeC code made for this game (or the assets) would be, specially if they only provide a compiled progs.dat bytecode in the pak files (but I don't know if they do, I'll have to downloaded it later).

Usually the games by Shpuld have the source-code on their github. I didn't check for this game specifically, but if you ask they will likely make it available as it falls under the GPL.

Yes, I was finally able to download it and the QuakeC source is within the same download. Nice👍
