Cute.

Need little bit of an indicator that you're getting hurt.

cute and fun. :) With a little more polish would be a super playable game.

It was a bit difficult, but fun. Clicking mechanics could be polished. Good job!

i escaped with a red sock and a white sneaker !!

How to kill with socks? They gather around and stay still. I can move unnoticed. More challenge, please.

Thanks :)

stoarch - you throw shoes at Shombies to kill them. They are only interested in your shoes so if you have none on, they won't bother with you :)

Very nice gae for first ld! I enjoyed it!

Never underestimate the charm of taking down a charging zombie with a well placed sneaker! :P

Honestly, really enjoyed this one. Excellent take on the theme, and a lot of fun!

Decent choice for theme, but the controls feel very loose and I am not exactly sure what to do to be honest. I threw something and all the zombies suddenly ignored me.

That was certainly unconventional. Fun little game, but getting stuck in the scenery was a bit annoying. Congrats on your first entry!

Cute, very unconventional, but very strange at the same time :P Like the artstyle!

I could not find my shoes.

Good surprise, well done :p

This was honestly one of my favourite games I've rated so far. The controls were good, the theme was well-represented, and it was pretty fun to get in a huge pile of shoes and go through them for the best stats.

Problems, though. One - the survival part was too easy. You could outrun all the zombies with even the basic shoes, so when I got two that had Speed 5, avoiding them was no contest at all. Two - the searching part was too tedious. I know that the zombie with my shoes glows, but I didn't know if the glow was too subtle and I walked past it or whether I just never encountered the thing. Eventually I got bored, wandered too far, and died. Also, on that note, the "You need to find your shoes!" text stayed on the screen for ages and kept blocking my view.

I got the shoes but couldn't escape the woods :(

I like the ammo system :)

Fun little game. Good idea and good execution.
