My run ended on the 8th wave, where the game bugged and the mecha-bear wouldn't come out of his hiding place off-screen. :(

Not a bad game overall, but it feels like two completely different gameplay styles clumsily merged together. Most games would go for either "lane changing" or "manual targeting" rather than both; maybe there's a clever way of combining the two, but here it just feels clumsy. Also, it would've been nice to see the enemies explode into gibs instead of just getting the same canned bloodspray animation for everything.

I like the art. Great job !

Nice art!

rocketship 2014-12-09 09:14

@Ryusui, thanks for the feedback and the info, that bug is now fixed.

Graphics were good. Game was tough, took m a bit to find out the handgun I should hit the body. The directions made me think to focus on head shots. Tough game.

Nice graphics. Don't like that you need to aim enemies, just to stand on the same row will be OK

Poor animals :)

Kill them all^^.

Nice shooter.
Art work is great!
Got very difficult after wave 6, but I prefere games that have a challenge to them!
Only two negative points was the aiming felt a little stiff and I felt some music would have polished the game.
On the whole a very nice entry Good Job.

I'd play it longer but the offset for the crosshair is off. Graphic's are really nice though!

joshua_burr 2014-12-09 13:03

Good job, I really like the art. I had a bug where the crosshair wasn't in the same place as the mouse which made it very hard to hit anything.

flying-jester 2014-12-09 13:03

Wow, that is a HUGE resolution! I can't even play because I don't own a monitor with a resolution that high, and zooming out makes clicks go to the wrong places :(

rocketship 2014-12-09 13:19

Thank you very much for the feedback everyone, the problem with the crosshair has been fixed now! You should be able to shoot all those nasty little animals in the head now too!

plasterphantom 2014-12-09 14:05

Laning feels weird if you still have to aim after that. Feels very Plants vs Zombies like which is cool. (: Missing some feedback on that you actually shoot. Furthermore the game looks good and feels smooth! Well done!

Characters were fun and themed well. Nice work! Good to see someone try to innovate off of PvZ but I think you could push it even further! Perhaps each weapon allows for different target-able areas on the body? Headshots for rifle, 3 lane damage for shotgun or something?

octoteam 2014-12-09 19:56

I found the game became easier after the first three rounds, then difficulty ramped up again after the 20th round. Really entertaining.
Hilarious art, too :)

kipelovets 2014-12-09 20:44

It's a pity I can't play it because of my low screen resolution, the game looks pretty good on the screenshot

lereveur 2014-12-09 22:46

Nice art, but... Was it so necessary to have a so big screenplay for that kind of game ? I know that it fits perfectly the theme, but... Well, it's a little to much. ^^

bitapps 2014-12-10 02:36

Needs a little bit of more action

axel_kay 2014-12-10 14:53

The game is fun, but we have too much weapon that we can't use that much in the beginning! But it's still interesting to have that option.
I like the weapon audio and art! good job on that.
It's still an interesting game pleasant to play!

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-10 15:03

Nice game. Resolution too big, but that's not a big issue :) Great art and audio.

delahee 2014-12-10 23:51

Good fun :) Very nice art. But please, think about people not using QWERTY keyboards :P Makes the game a lot harder for me ;)
Also, we can't see the life bar of the bear on the top row. So we don't really know if we're shooting it or not. But the remains remains fun anyway :)

2014-12-11 15:53

Very nice game! Love the death sounds : )

5k0d 2014-12-12 13:04

funny game but it was way too easy after i upgraded my pistol...also i couldn't unpause after i paused for a few mins

rocketship 2014-12-12 13:08

@5k0d thank you for the feedback and report on the bug! The pistol being unbalanced is known to us, we didn't have time to implement a better upgrade system :)

hogtrick 2014-12-12 13:20

Really nice game. Pretty complete. Awesome that you guys made this in a jam

gameproducer 2014-12-12 20:52

I couldn't hit anything, so critters survived. Not sure i liked the background story. It felt bit grim, didnt feel the need to revenge :D

Good graphics, decent sounds and nice attempt on trying different type of tower defence.

dream-of-sleeping 2014-12-15 20:03

I thought this was really good fun. It reminded me of Tapper, but obviously a lot more violent! The graphics were excellent, and it was great seeing new characters on each round. I enjoyed the control system. Usually when games ask you to buy weapons and upgrade and all that crap I find it really boring but this was simple, and added a nice amount of depth to the game. The game couldn't fit all on my screen. Also I had real problems clicking back onto this tab.

nice work
