I found the controls really difficult, but somehow fitting XD

gilborn 2018-04-23 21:03

Pretty fun! Nice design and hilarious controls.

capnat 2018-04-23 22:13

I found the controls super hard haha, very unique game though, good work

michipantera 2018-04-23 23:13

Very interesting game. Really loved the music.

hailburns 2018-04-24 09:43

I agree. The controls are pretty hard to understand. Nice game overall. Good work

alex13 2018-04-24 10:13

Many thanks for your response. I know that controls is hard. The main question is can you figure out how to control characters in reasonable time. Or I have to add some tutorials? I try to make infinity game. But I don't know how to make learning curve smoothest

jheysonlima 2018-04-24 15:07

the controls are hard to get, but the game is good, the music is catching and nice, great game overall

At the first the game threw me off a bit, but when you get used to the controls it's actually pretty fun! Some kind of tutorial and/or clearer explanations in game would be nice tho.. Anyway really good entry, you should be proud! ^^

I think figuring out how to control the zombie and that awkwardness is most of the fun. Nice job.

alex13 2018-04-25 15:48

@Kurt Roembke Definitely yes! This was the main idea. Thank you.

borodar 2018-04-25 16:14

Stupid, stupid zombies... Good job! :3

geck0 2018-04-25 16:20

Interesting concept and crazy controls :P

hopgames 2018-04-25 18:52

Too hard controls but you did something really innovative.

alex13 2018-04-25 19:02

@HOPgames If to be honest. This type of control not my idea. I had play a game (soccer!) with such type of control for nearly a year. And every time I played it. I think it is a fighting! So I decided to implement this.

yozamu 2018-04-26 13:17

Controls were really painful, but the rest was entertaining.

balance686 2018-04-26 21:41

Very strange and equally awesome haha I like what you did here. My first play I couldn't understand the controls at all but I got it the second time around (still wasn't easy :P). I managed to get up top and then accidentally launched myself off lol it's a funny and unique game. Great submission!

eudes-franco 2018-04-27 00:31

Pretty fun game! I had a good time, once you get the "rhythm" of the controls is very good besides the jump, i think the jump was the real bummer, because even if it was a little easier to jump it would still be pretty hard to stay on top. Fantastc entry, good music, Great Job.

twcrockett 2018-04-27 20:19

Very unusual. I like the zombies and brains. The character graphics are nice. It's very strange but in a good way. And yes, good job making really brain-dead zombies :)

erik-brendel 2018-04-27 21:35

I like how the game is all about getting familiar with the controls. But maybe some more introduction could help there.

alex13 2018-04-27 21:59

@Erik Brendel I had figure out how to add some tutorial levels. But I am not sure that it is not against rules.

vkmicro 2018-04-28 05:04

1 main thing i'd like to advice / point out is the fact that it's really hard to tell which character is yours. it's a very important thing to make player character stand out and obvious. Different color from enemies, larger, in the center, whatever you have to do to make character player stand out.

With that aside. The game is very cool, graphics are nice. Controls are quite challenging and take some getting used to. Definitely could use better background music, but soudn effects and volumes were very nicely balanced out so I think that's a very good thing.

Main thing, as I said, making player character stand out amongst all other characters. Work on that and keep that in mind.

Great entry, fun game, well made and mechanically very solid. Good job!

I didn't fully understand what was happening at first. But as I kept playing I started to understand. It was a little tough for me as I never got to first place, (even on easy mode!) but maybe I just gotta play a little more to get better. Overall the silliness of the game was rather interesting and fun to play with. Good job dude!

alex13 2018-04-30 06:33

@joltjab Thank you for response, The main problem :), how to make game harder on next levels. May be I have to add easiest level with two NPC

cristiano-m-garcia 2018-05-02 16:18

I tried to play his game, but unfortunately I could not understand.

I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.

I hope you continue with the project.

Just so you know, your Google Drive link for the Windows version doesn't work -- when trying to download the file, Google Drive blocks it and says "you can't download this because a virus was detected."

I played the web version, and I must say, it's quite strange. I never really got the hang of the controls, even after trying quite a bit. It seems like they are almost random in whether they will work the way I expect.

Seems relatively fun, aside from that -- a mad scramble to get to the top of the hill. However, given that it's just "survive as long as possible," it gets somewhat boring.

alex13 2018-05-03 22:03

@TheMonsterFromTheDeep Totally agree with you. From one side all infinity games has aim live as long as you can. But really players needs something that can diverse gameplay. You can download windows version from page https://alexa13.itch.io/king-of-the-hill-zombie-edition

kobrar 2018-05-05 20:17

At first I knew something was wrong. Controls are: click, double click, double click, IDLE? What the heck? After playing this, I can only state the obvious: this needs to be a party couch game :)

zeu31 2018-05-07 14:53

The controls are not easy — the instructions did not help that much —, but once you get it the gameplay is really fun. I think that the game has a solid core loop and it must be even more fun with a local multiplayer. My only suggestion would be to add some power-ups at the bottom of the level to make it harder for the ones on the top. Great game! =)
