pretty fun, nice work, goof graphics and good physics

It's a good start to something that could be pretty fun.

Great concept, fits the theme perfectly. The mechanic ends up being pretty unique since you have to worry about the positioning of objects as well as yourself and the enemies. I had to think about where I was shooting things so that I could go back and pick them up later. I played with an xbox controller and it worked great. Oh, and cat is funny.

The art is great, too. There's a lot objects in the game considering you only had 72 hours.

Not a whole lot of gameplay/depth with only one level, it's more a prototype than a full game. But still fun.

Some music would have been nice, and really added to the game's atmosphere.

Love the concept! Sucking up anything and everything and flinging it at zombies is very satisfying. I like how you even had items break apart, like the couch cushions off the couch and books from the bookshelves, etc.

Boy, it really gets tough pretty quickly though. Perhaps I am just terrible at it lol.

Great job on the theme.. and pretty much everything else. Unfortunately, Newt did not survive the night.

Nice graphics and beautiful house. The concept is also a nice idea.

Dads gonna be pissed when he sees the inside of the house all over the house of the house. FANTASTIC game and theme mechanic.

Terrific game, wonderful art. The cat is just awesome.

I kinda wish I could control placing of items a *bit* better (to barricade myself in?), but maybe I just suck :P

Really good concept and execution. Reminds me of Luigi´s Mansion. It plays really good and the physic effects are nice.

phi 2015-04-21 14:11

Lots of fun! Not a lot of variety, but the basic concept allows for some good entertainment on its own. Great work! Leaf blowers are awesome!

Decent graphics. The cat sounds are a bit annoying, but at least it's not playing all the time.

The vacuum is an interesting game mechanic, however a bit confusing as it sucks from behind.

dracomagna 2015-04-21 14:41

Awesome game! The idea is really good, the graphics are beautiful and the overall game is really well done.
I had a really good time playing it, thank you! :D

crowbeak 2015-04-21 15:03

The first time I played the game, I didn't get it. Glad I gave it another try. That's an interesting mechanic, throwing anythign nearby at the zombies.

druid 2015-04-21 17:11

Wow! Vacuum cleaner ghostbusters! :D Awesome idea! Nice smooth gameplay too!

fixitteam 2015-04-21 20:23

nice idea. the graphics are quite impressive :)

pat-aftermoon 2015-04-21 21:47

Nice game, interesting concept and use of the theme, but hard to master :/

ryannielson 2015-04-22 01:15

Pretty interesting mechanic, and great idea for a game. I'm a sucker for physics games. The cat running around and opening doors at inopportune times was also a good touch too.

renatopp 2015-04-22 12:39

Great job. The game is pretty big for the short development time. It has a great potential post compo. Congratulations to the team.

Nice artwork, but the keyboard controls made it pretty difficult. Would have been nice to have a way to suck up some ammo but not immediately fire it - I ended up just running around helplessly a lot because it was too hard to line up a shot and have ammo behind me at the same time while trying to flee.

jaredsartin 2015-04-22 22:31

Awesome! Can't wait to play more!!

thegamefather 2015-04-23 01:39

Nice idea! It's not just fun, it also brings a bit of resource management into the game with the dust collector. Great mood also. Well done!

rjhelms 2015-04-23 03:39

This is hilarious! Great take on the theme. The Xbox controls felt great.

popcorn897 2015-04-23 05:29

Absolutely excellent. Fun, unique, good looking, this game has it all. Well polished as well. Nice work!

stevesalmond 2015-04-23 11:09

Fun! Controlled very nicely with the xbox controller, and the graphic style is great. Really dug the art style - the zombie run cycle and other animations look great! Nice work :)

blobo 2015-04-24 00:31

Really nice game. very challenging, but i had fun.

meganepark 2015-05-01 02:12

Kinda wish the player moved a tiiiny bit faster or otherwise had more lenient collisions vs the environment. Otherwise, great game with some nice strategic options by managing the doors and position of objects. The raccoon that ran around opening doors was cute. ヾ(^ ^ゞ

Great fun. Interesting mechanics, challenging. Fits the theme really well.
