Graveyard Shift

I like that it starts with a tutorial sequence, how could anyone resist those coins!? sound effects are satisfying and graphics get the job done, jump is a smidge floaty, being in the air atall feels awkward, the slow down from carrying coins is also really harsh, with some tuning it could be super addictive

ultimately though I found the winning strategy was to sit on the building, shoot some guys, kite the rest away, pick up then run to a deposit pig, only thing which got be was the occasional getting stuck on a zombie

Interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUur4iynK94

Shooting the enemies is kinda weirdly satisfying I must say =)

Amazing shooter with an interesting take on the theme

I loved the fact that I could bank the money and jump around and shotgun people - The ragdoll physics were very satisfying too!

What I would wish for would be that the AI would still follow me even though I'm jumping high (they seem to just drift away otherwise)

A feature that would make the game more addictive would be that the money you put in the bank has intrest (builds up over time) and that you could increase the intrest rates to get more money, upgrade damage/jump height etc

Had alot of fun, thanks for making it :wink:

Cheers!

Nice entry! It's kinda overwhelming when they all get near you, but pretty cool!

Pretty goofy, but I enjoyed it. It was fast-paced enough to hold my attention, and the ragdolling of the enemies upon death made kills really satisfying. I would have liked a more gradual increase in spawn rate, but overall great job!

Quite well made game, the sound is the strongest part for me and also that it feels satisfying to keep shooting the zombies. Also a smart way to implement a warmup section on top of the building.

Haha I love the look of this game! Great job! 5 stars!

Pretty cool game, i actually love the fact that it seems achievable from the start to the end, but still representing a challenge Sound design is on point, ragdolls are always funny to watch haha Great job

The moment you walk into the coins and realize you are so freaking slow haha

I wished the different color of the enemy would indicate how much they would endure instead they all semeed to be of equal health? I really liked the shooting though, was fun and fast. Sounds were also good and the integration of the theme was also there.

All in all, solid entry!

When I noticed that you can't jump high enough to be save from the zombies, when you have to much coins was scary. A small funny game, nicely done :).

hahaha, the physics of the enemies are great! I like the sense of humor that this entry has (similar to my entry). The mechanic ties in with the theme perfectly as well. Great job and very impressive for a compo entry!

I liked that the starting point was quite tutorial like. Some funny voice acting. And weird looking enemies. I basiclly just had to ran backwards all the time and shoot. Was a little bit too easy for me.

The sound effects made the game more satisfying, good job!

Had a lot of fun playing this. It's very satisfying to blast the enemies through the air. The approach to the theme is interesting and I found it challenging to manage the gold between me and the bank, ended up giving all my gold away :p Keep up the good work!
