You might have missed the instructions - "Imagine it's 1994".

> "Imagine it's 1994".

Is that why it feels like there's some homework I should be doing instead?

> Doom-like movement and shooting mechanics

Doom controls a lot better. I played some Brutal Doom just an hour ago. In Doom, there is some inertia. You accelerate and there is some friction. In this game, movement is a binary on/off thing. The bobbing is also very jarring.

You can turn off the bobbing in the settings

I did. I dislike bob/pitch/roll in general. I appreciate that they added a checkbox for that. Also, having a FOV slider is great, too.

I couldn't set the mouse sensitivity high enough though.

I'm with you on this one. After seeing this running at 15-20 fps, my reaction was that web technologies have finally been shoehorned in a place where they can almost provide the same experience as 15 year old native games, while running on a modern machine. Oh well, the 'hardware is fast, overhead doesn't matter' crowd doesn't care.
