Oh, zombies!

jerrre 2013-04-29 07:30

could you provide a java 6 version for OSX?

xgor 2013-04-29 07:34

Great amosphere... but it feels really odd because you can't be killed and it really kills the game (pun not intended)

swizzcheez 2013-04-29 07:34

Can't seem to die...

Nice entry! The levels were a bit large, though, and there lack of potato batteries made things difficult to navigate because I kept running out of light :D

Nice game! Not knowing the levels, the light slowly dimming was the biggest difficulty factor in making it to the next stage. I'm not sure how much zombie bites I can take, but it seems to be a lot. Having the feeling of almost dying would have made it even scarier probably :)

Good job, would play again!

I didn't seem to die. And ammo was so scarce I killed like 6 zombies then just ran around looking for ammo.

I liked the lighting affects, running around in the dark could be a little frustrating. The zombies didn't do enough damage to be scary, they were just annoying.

Oh, god, you can't die? Oops, typo, will fix now

msquirrel 2013-04-29 08:25

Sorry about that :S

msquirrel 2013-04-29 08:32

Uploading new files, with dying enabled now. Will be fixed in 1 minute.

Really fun and challenging. I kept running out of ammo and the walkers got me. Good game!

Nice game! Cool and very minimalist great job ;)

msquirrel 2013-05-01 15:42

Java 1.6 version for OSX, is uploaded now!

f7f5, that error means you tried to run a file compiled in a later java version with an earlier version. So I could try making an earlier version, but, I think you need to update java...

How to be afraid of tiny pixels !

cognizant-game-studios 2013-05-03 02:04

@Msquirel for the problem with Linux and Mac you have to compile the jar on a Java 6, Mac users you can update to J 7

boiuna 2013-05-03 12:14

I lked the graphics, but the game is a bit slowly.

msquirrel 2013-05-03 16:19

@Cognizant Game Studios I have already changed the Mac version to compile with 1.6, do I need to change it for linux as well?

skeptic 2013-05-06 09:47

Wow! Enjoyed it a lot. Zombie's sounds are annoying, but main music theme keeps you in fear. Very good work.

ernyz 2013-05-06 11:17

Nice game, 5 stars for the mood :) altough supplies were a bit too scarce. Btw, I just realized our games look very similar, at least for me :D

rialgar 2013-05-06 11:18

awesome horror when the light is almost empty and you start searching for a potato, but cant find one. Then you find one and see ZOMBIES ALL AROUND YOU!
Not sure if there are multiple levels or it just restarts after winning.
The bullet sound could use another design iteration.
I found the lowering light quite aprupt, maybe you can make it smoother.

msquirrel 2013-05-06 11:47

I can confirm there are multiple levels, there is a key somewhere on the map, it is randomly spawning in set locations, you grab that, then the next safe room opens.

"Btw, I just realized our games look very similar, at least for me :D" - I'll check it out!
