could not get past the title screen....

a_k_ 2015-08-25 03:35

Can't run on web thou. Thou the screenshots are pretty solid.

heissayen 2015-08-25 03:45

Stuck in the title

shiroookami 2015-08-25 03:46

What a joyride. It was a really fun game and the music was great. Loved the ending of it the most though

arubino 2015-08-25 03:53

Sorry about that, the Intro scene was broken. We Uploaded a (hopefully) working version ;) Check it out! cheers

mattv 2015-08-25 03:56

windows binary crashed my computer with a gnarly BSOD. Productin values looked great though I was excited to play until that happened!

Shooting zombies in the dick in slow motion simulator 2015.
Love the use of the unreliable narration and that bullet time effect is seriously cool.

slashee-the-cow 2015-08-25 04:02

Pretty fun. Although it doesn't help that the controls screen is wrong (unless maybe you're left handed) and doesn't mention that you can use the scroll wheel to zoom. Also I killed them all with over 30 seconds left and had to sit there doing nothing.

literal_games 2015-08-25 04:02

Bit buggy but the slow motion stuff is crazy cool when it works! Might need some more polish, but the actual gameplay was satisfying

tweedle 2015-08-25 04:08

The ending was a definite surprise, but I couldn't get my name to enter correctly in the paper.

drzanuff 2015-08-25 18:10

The game is a bit slow in my laptop even with the lowest configs, but well, my configs are not that good anyway. But i played even with that and the game is cool. I found one of the most fun bugs of this Ludum dare... there was an Zombie breaking dancing all over the floor, non-stop. Man I laughed... Congrats!

Couldn't play the web version but the desktop version played well on the fastest settings.

The usual unity button problems are there but you can get past that by having your cursor slightly to the left of where the button is.

jakob37 2015-08-25 19:35

Looks beautiful, unable to get past the main menu... (On Windows 10).

wdebowicz 2015-08-25 19:47

It's hard to target in a web version because of lag, I would add more action ;-) Nice camera movement while shooting!

wuballiance 2015-08-25 20:15

+1 for a web-based fps. The end made me burst out laughing. Good audio, good graphics, awesome shaders! Well done!

encryptedcow 2015-08-25 20:30

I liked the idea, but having the people look like zombies caused the ending to not make sense. It seemed like lots of the people disappeared before I could even find them. My guess is they were running away, however they just disappeared in the middle of a field. If tht is the case there should have been some sort of indicator that it would happen.

floatingghost 2015-08-25 21:06

FoV made me feel ill, but I'm prone to that.

Otherwise solid. Great music

antonybaasan 2015-08-25 21:07

Wow, it took a while to download web play. Looks very cool. Easy to control the aim. Slow on my mac air.

glerikud 2015-08-25 21:09

Very enjoyable game with a twist at the end. The only problem is that it's not well optimised, at least the web version runs quite slowly.

taaboo 2015-08-25 21:13

Haha the twist fit the theme perfecly. What a good ending.

minionstudios 2015-08-25 21:20

Wow, that is a good looking game with really great control. The glitch and bizarre manifesto make it really hit home, dang. Nice job on this!

crazyminnowstudio 2015-08-26 02:28

That is a seriously cool bullet time effect. First time I played through, something errored and there was no countdown timer, so I didn't experience the end, which really is what makes the theme. I decided to try it again and the game worked as intended. Awesome ending. If you don't make it to the end, don't rate this game until you do. Great job Crosstales!

congusbongus 2015-08-26 11:19

The game is well made, I thought the gun was broken until I realised you can zoom in with mouse wheel :) Still, one major complaint: the warping effect is too nauseous!

grhyll 2015-08-26 11:36

Well, that was pretty fun to play :) At first I look at all these monsters and know I have to kill them! Then I see one of them just jogging... then another stretching... And another one breakdancing '_' That's when I understood that maybe I have a distorded vision of reality. But hey, they are monsters, so I kept shooting them until the freedom chopper came!
Quite fun :)

oxysoft 2015-08-26 18:23

very funny outcome, I saw it coming a bit with the theme in mind and all but it was still pretty funny. A solid entry

kerdelos 2015-08-26 19:18

Liked the music, the zombies dancing and the end. Had some glitch with mouse control but I think it was because of the embeded webplayer.

terop2 2015-08-26 22:24

works fine. Nice effect where the buildings move in wave like pattern.

david_williams 2015-08-26 22:33

Very interesting game, though I didn't appreciate it until the twist at the end. Actually pretty clever!

joror 2015-08-26 23:11

Loved the kill-cam shots, controls a bit clunky at times. Saw the ending coming, but still a good one. ;)

manimal 2015-08-27 07:39

Played until the end, nice ending.

benjamin-soule 2015-08-27 08:26

very nice execution for a jam game. It was fun to play except the fact that no more "mosnters" seems to spawn after few times of playing. I would say 30-40s before the helicopter, there's nobody in the park. The end twist is rather good, and rather unexpected :)

mortus 2015-08-27 11:15

Even before the ending I was constantly thinking: "I am a monster indeed, killing those innocent dancers!". And when the heli arrived I tried to kill the pilot immediately but I guess you can't do it. Or I just couldn't.

Fun game and great mood! Like the music also.

zkenshin 2015-08-27 13:14

Very good entry. At one point I seemed to stop being able to shoot for some reason, but very well done. :)

rockhoppergames 2015-08-27 13:44

I have to agree with the others that the twist was somewhat spoiled by the theme, but otherwise this game is highly competent all round!

scumbly 2015-08-27 20:36

Hangs permanently at title screen in Web and OS X downloadables for me... could not rate.

qaterknan 2015-08-27 23:10

I was half expecting the ending but otherwise it is a great sniping game (I appreciate accurate bullet physics!!) with nice graphics. I had definitely fun playing it. Windows download is down btw.

veoviscool12 2015-08-28 20:38

Really liked the twist at the end. Great work!

joshyoshkenoshi 2015-08-28 21:20

Quite a nicely done 3D game. It didn't run completely smoothly with the web player, but I did enjoy the twist at the end. ;)

hippolyta 2015-08-28 22:16

Hi dear OSX-friends

Unfortunately, the standalone-build for OSX didn't work. Since Unity 5.1.3 (or earlier versions?) the x86 (32 bit) won't work. We had to compile it with "x86_64" and it's now working on our old iMac.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Keep on gaming!

hippolyta 2015-08-28 22:17

@all

Thank you very much for the valuable and kind reviews!
You're the best! :-)

crucknuk 2015-09-02 12:44

The snipping system reminds me a lot the "sniper elite" one. I laughed when I saw some dancing zombi animation. Good job!

jupiter_hadley 2015-09-12 01:19

Neat graphics! I included it in part 25 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/OjNOJwfYtGQ
