Framerate was too bad for me :-( I liked the intro though!

The framerate chugged for me, too. Also, the mouse pointer showed over the screen, which made aiming confusing.

In the background of the city, I get all sorts of graphical garbage - like you aren't clearing the back buffer between frames or something.

I liked the voiceacting at the start XD and the overall feel/atmosphere was cool, but was very slow to start, camera/mouse issues and I fell off your playing area! Some indication of how many kitties / zombies left would have been cool

I will try to work on the framerate, its terrible :P
thx for the comments

The kittens/zombies left display showed for me.

Just too difficult to play. The FR is simply too low.

Great atmosphere and environment. Pity its so buggy

The bad: The framerate was slow on my powerful computer, the cutscene was long, unskippable, unnecessary. Once you fire the gun for the first time, the camera goes into a top down view that makes it impossible to see anything. The physics on the mobs were strange, they were spinning in midair as they moved.

The good: Before firing the gun the camera view was good. The eerie music combined with the spinning cats/zombies gave the made it a surreal fever dream. Some of the bugs made the game better!

Unplayable, but the atmosphere is superbly insane.

thanks all for the comments I really will work on the performance, probably adding less zombies, or changing some controls to act only on the visible zombies.

Opening cinematic was hilarious.

Hey wow framerate... couldn't move.

k_wright 2011-05-03 22:45

The framerate actually got better the more I waited. But ya, more optimization is needed to make this playable. The voice overs were funny.

korywazhere 2011-05-04 12:26

ha ha hilarious. Your game really made me smile =)

Thanks for that

Framerate too poor to play it (~3fps). Great ambient music though, and nice stylised characters.

athanazio 2011-05-04 13:16

This morning I made some optimizations and getting around 10fps, will see other tunning that I can made.

lingmops 2011-05-04 16:20

Is everything supposed to be permanently tumbling, or is that a bug?

athanazio 2011-05-04 16:47

choose tumbling instead of animation hehehe not able to animate yet, still learning heheheh

alexlarioza 2011-05-05 06:03

Holy crap the frame rate was terrible! I locked up my computer. On a good note, I liked the voice over in the into.

randomnine 2011-05-05 10:20

Framerate was fine for me. Are you updating your competition entry with optimisations? That wouldn't be cool :) I'll assume it's just my PC handling it.

Could use a skybox and some kind of objective, I ended up wandering the city aimlessly... though there's a nice atmosphere to it.

athanazio 2011-05-06 01:26

not updating compo entry at all !!! will upload in a different path !! if and when I optimize :)

elbowroom 2011-05-10 14:01

I luv the intro..

I like the atmosphere, the music, the cats rolling around.. it is very interesting.
Everything looks good, only needs a performance boost.

@randomnine : nah framerate is still the same:)

mwest 2011-05-15 10:30

Nice entry, it was very atmospheric and the intro sequence was quite funny (but not skippable - sucks for repeat plays)!

Initial framerate was also quite bad until I shot a couple of zombies at which point it became playable. Biggest other problem is the turning controls which seemed oversensitive at times (perhaps also framerate related).

Still a good entry for 48 hours, especially given the nice 3D graphics and atmospheric sound - well done!

endurion 2011-05-21 19:37

Very neat, however getting tedious fast. I found 7 kitties and then ran through empty street. Until I jumped off the map ;)
Why are the kitties rolling around?
The turning speed seems somewhat random.

Was unplayable for me, almost froze my browser...
But the intro was funny as hell!
