Loved it

diogomuller 2013-08-26 23:53

Loved it, reminds me of a few old FPSses like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D. Couldn't switch weapons.

There weren't any statistics on the weapons, and they mostly felt the same once I stopped using the pistol.

I didn't get to the mystery weapon because I wondered what happened if the timer got to 0. I lost, even though I could have still shot the last zombie. This is weird.

I didn't realize I could move until the 3rd or 4th wave. Usually the arrow keys work.

The shotgun didn't feel any stronger than the pistol, it didn't seem to spread or over-penetrate.

It's an interesting start.

Loved it! That impact sound is great and its a good simple concept. The buying mechanic is great but I didn't see a giant difference between the two machine guns.

Very simple, but quite fun! The upgrade system kept me coming back for more: "just one more wave, I need that upgrade!"

chrisgaudino 2013-08-27 00:01

Fun, but way too easy. Also, I eventually ran in to a bug where one last zombie knocked the wall down, but time was up and I couldn't shoot anymore. Instead of coming through and killing somebody, he just stood there and the wave never ended.

Nice game. Quite fun, though I dislike these repetitive power yourself up games. It is very polished, no bugs that I could find. Dunno if there is an ending to this. Oh yeah, surprise weapon was quite nice too.

Overall a fun experience. Good job! Does it go on forever? I pretty much maxed out my upgrades at the end.

levelupjordan 2013-08-27 07:14

Really cool, congrats! If you could take a look at my game I'd really appreciate it

manabreak 2013-08-27 07:14

Really great idea, but I couldn't figure out how to change the weapons.

farfromsleep 2013-08-27 07:22

Quite a simple setup, but executed nicely. Felt quite slick to play, more so than most gamemaker shooters. Nicely done!

archaeometrician 2013-08-27 07:23

Neat ! Loved it too !

casimps1 2013-08-27 07:36

Very nice! The store kept me engaged a lot longer than I would have been otherwise. I kept playing b/c I had to know what the secret weapon was! I wasn't disappointed.

As for difficulty, once I had the minigun I felt like I could play forever. I also eventually learned that, since range didn't really matter, the best tactic was to just sit still at one end of the wall rather than running around back and forth.

Not sure why damage is an upgrade since everything seems to be a one hit kill anyway...

Also, shotgun felt like a downgrade from the machine gun. I do think the store and/or weapons need some balancing in general.

Finally, extra bonus points for making me feel all that retro nostalgia :)

Nice job! I really enjoyed the old school shooterness of it.

arrow-x 2013-08-27 18:50

Very retro ..love it

feffers 2013-08-27 18:50

I had a lot of fun with this game, and really liked the gun sounds.

lordjosephdeburg 2013-08-27 18:55

Hey Boddiul! You used the same tools as me this LD. (GM and SFXR) Im impressed by what you made... can never survive long enough to unlock the secret weapon. I enjoyed this 5 stars a lot

boodog 2013-08-27 20:53

keyboardmonkey 2013-08-27 21:43

I felt like Rambo wielding an automatic poptart cat. I was king of the zombies and it was great!

ezolotko 2013-08-28 13:09

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-30 03:32

I love shooting things. This was a game about shooting things. It was great!! I featured it in a Ludum Dare 27 compilation video, if you would like to check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-HQ96z_y-M

Minecraft like. Funny looks, when zomby eat people.

shard123 2013-08-30 12:27

Very fun and well polished! I enjoyed playing it a lot.

supercannon 2013-08-30 14:21

Played until I got the 15k weapon (which was great), lots of fun. Got pretty easy near the end, and the sounds were a bit glitchy, other than that great entry!

mamoniemm 2013-08-30 17:36

Doom ^_^
