Really nice IA, coherent art, fun to play ! BRAINZ !!!

Really cool game, I like how the pixely graphics have some real character and it feels really detailed even though it's "low res". Gameplay feels fastpaced and pretty good balance, would have liked a way to get back some HP like finding a healthpack maybe, but I really like this first submission!

Very nice game. maybe I would have liked a bit smoother movement (accelerate instead of instant full speed), but great job!

Overall I liked this game, I liked the subtle changes like how the cars changed colour when the batteries have been taken. The game isn't really challanging but then again not all games need to be brutal. The art works well for what you're going for. Good Job!

Very nice game! Even though I didn't read the instructions, I still picked it up quickly, which is good. The graphics are actually quite nice, for some reason I find the ground texture really nice. On my first run I got to around 7k points, after that I didn't seem to be able to find any more fuel packs (they don't spawn?). The zombie AI was good too, it felt fun running from a massive horde and letting them die in the spikes.

Got a score of 10270. Didn't have anymore fuel to get, picked up all the cans and all the cars. Not sure what to do at that point. Am I missing something?

Other than that, graphics look great and game controls perfectly. I like how the zombies suddenly rubber band to you when you get close. Great job for a first submission!

pmilian 2017-07-31 18:02

@Noxim : yeah, I didn't add a jerrycan/fuel pack respawn. Once you have picked them all up and emptied all the cars, all you can do is play your console until the power is gone ! There is no way to win this game, only get a higher score

I had quite a bit of fun with this. It took me about 5 seconds to understand what was going on without reading any instructions, so great work on the interface and graphics.

The gameplay is really cool and definitely made me push in the buttons even harder when I noticed that I was running out of energy, but could barely make it if I'm lucky. It's a really cool idea.

I noticted that the zombies sometimes just stood in the way and blocked the entrance. Which is weird, because the get electrocuted a few centimeters to the left, but are blocked by an invisible wall right in the middle. I feel like they should just die when they reach the base, no matter if they are touching the electric fence or not.

Overall I really liked it. Good job.

@zelos: woops ! zombies should die whenever they touch the safe zone or a fence. It seems like you found a bug :) Thanks for playing !

10 463 ! Love it. Great graphics ! Simple yet good gameplay. Zombies' AI just tough enough to don't have the time to rest. Keep moving forward.

Nice game. Reminded me Left 4 dead missions. It would be interesting to see full version)

miepmiep 2017-07-31 22:01

Really like the game. Took me some time to understand that the zombies can be electrified.

I like getting all the little pixel zombies to chase me.

milano23 2017-08-04 16:08

Nice game. I ran faster by holding down two arrow buttons together. This game belongs in a mini-game for Left4Dead, lol. Good job!

whatislove 2017-08-04 23:33

Cool idea and nice game overall, not very challenging but it really makes you feel the horde is after you :P

This is a fun little game, well done! I love the minimalistic graphics, still you can easily recognize everything.

A little music and sound would have been nice :-)

Good job, keep up the good work!

pmilian 2017-08-05 00:12

@gonutz : thanks ! Yeah, sound / musics adds so much to a game ! Unfortunately, I didn't have time nor didn't know how to make music / sounds myself. It will be for next time :)

fwazle 2017-08-05 00:35

Very entertaining, I loved the AI for the zombies and the minimalistic art style. Some music or sound effects would have greatly enhance the mood. Overall, Well done!

Hit 6919.

I like this game a ton! I found it interesting to switch tasks between hauling fuel and kiting zombies into the electric fence. Everything just felt right about this one. Kudos!

thecodefactory 2017-08-05 16:26

Fun gameplay. Nice job!

vulpineblazeyt 2017-08-05 21:14

Fun and engaging. I enjoyed gathering large herds of zombies and tricking them into dying.

temmy 2017-08-05 21:31

It was quite satisfying rounding up a horde of zombies to then pull against the electric fence. Would have loved to have a bit of audio in there!

pmilian 2017-08-05 22:01

Thanks all for trying out my game and giving some very good feedback :)
