The set looks like a classic Legend of Zelda dungeon. I like that a lot. But i didn't have the feeling t of running out of space very much.

dragongino 2018-08-14 11:23

@johannimations I interpreted the theme may be a little different then the other people do. but I am glad that you try my game and, share your opinion with it.

Nice submission! I liked the gunfeel and chaotic nature of the game. So many zombies, but making them easy to kill also makes you feel very powerful and in control. I also loved that they split to little bits that you can push around! :D Some feedback: there didn't seem to spawn any ammo boxes, so my ammo went down on all weapons and that was it. Only medkits everywhere.. Also, the ammo counter said 8, when I was out of bullets. hmmm Other than that, I liked the game, good job on finishing it! I attached my score below :)Knipsel.JPG

@virtual-turtle-studio hey dud thanks for your feedback. yhea I didn't balance the game that great. not enough time to finish that.

the idea was to make a karma system the can help you but also turns against you as well(so more bad luck that happened gives some good luck in return and vice-versa) about the ammo kits I think I made the chance that they will spawn is too low. I will look later to fix that.

by the way nice score you have there.

This was fun! The controls feel very good, speed and spawn frequency is nicely balanced. The different guns are a nice touch, although not really necessary because I always had enough gunpower and bullets no matter what gun I was using, but the big exploding bullets are very satisfying! The graphics are clear and do the job, the music is well chosen, the whole thing looks and feels quite polished. The only thing that bugged me was that I struggled to read the messages above the player's head. In a game that's as fast-paced as this one, having text constantly flashing on the screen is quite distracting. You should try voice acting next time ;)

Overall I really enjoyed this!

Score on first try: 46258 (I have no idea how I even survived that long...)

PS: If you didn't do the majority of the sound in the game, you should probably opt-out of the audio category.

Nice Game. Everything runs smoothly the controls felt just right. The Art was nice and the Music was even better. But it seemed like it wasn't balanced that great. Overall nice Game!

nam-nguyen 2018-08-15 02:16

A nice shooter, the control feels good. Who doesn't like killing zombies? :D Good job!

kerelolivier 2018-08-15 10:10

I didn't really get where the theme was implemented, but other than that it is a nice game. I thought the difficulty curve worked very well. For example, the dropping of bombs after a while.

swen 2018-08-15 10:19

Really liked the game. I especially liked the random events. Next to this it was cool that killed enemies left behind some pieces, although I felt these enemies parts on the ground were hindering my movement a bit.

I ran out of bullets (maybe I spammed too much) and winded up circling the enemies to blow them all up at the same time, which was fun to do (and not too easy!).

Here's my score! GetRektScore.png

Solid entry, keep up the good work!

catbutt 2018-08-15 11:12

I think i'll have PTSD from those sound effects, still enjoyed it.

firehawk 2018-08-15 11:15

Mmmm..... pixelated graphics is great. The game plays really fun and the soundtrack is good. So keep going!

raivk 2018-08-15 16:18

A game with the name "GET REKT", I must TRY IT ! GET REKT GET REKT

GET REEEEEEEEEEEEEEKT

GET REKT REKT !

...Nice game :D

dragongino 2018-08-15 19:17

@phi for avoiding the confusion I put the audio out of judging. and I still want to change some weapons like the shotgun would be nice if you could shoot 3 bullets and 3 directions from one round. and I will look for a better font that is clearly more visible. and thanks for playing the game.

@c0nst4ntin I didn't have enough time left to balance the game correctly. I wanted to make a karma system the gives you some good luck when you get a lot of bads one. but I agree it should be better.

@nam-nguyen glad you enjoy it.

@kerelolivier I interpreting the theme a little different than other people, I tried I failed a little bit. but that is ludum dare and learning.

@swen nice you found a good strategy to deal with them.

@catbutt +1

@firehawk thank you and I will.

Not a bad entry but with little tweaking could be much better. It is really hard to die right now. And the game desperately needs camera shakes! Here is THE screen shake presentation (if for some reason you didn't watch this already :)): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJdEqssNZ-U

dragongino 2018-08-16 19:53

@antonsem there is camera shake in it. and I know this video all too well from vlambeer Jan Willem Nijman. good video by the way for people who do not know him. and why shakes screens are fun to have in your game as well. and other stuff of course :D

oneiros 2018-08-16 20:00

The game is dynamic and very nervous. Too bad there aren't more types of enemies. Otherwise, the game is still fun to play ^^

antonsem 2018-08-16 20:00

@dragongino it didn't work on my pc for some reason :( But in any case, everyone should watch that video :)

neowhoru 2018-08-16 21:34

i got 113888 but its too easy :) cool game so far - makes fun^^ as @antonsem already said - take a look into this "The art of screenshake" preseantion from a Vlambeer member (which is pretty cool and inspired me in many things :)

darenn 2018-08-17 11:12

Very cool game ! I really didn't have enough space to breath ahah. The BIP sound of the alarm made crazy tho. :zap:

sidewalksleeper 2018-08-17 11:28

Enjoyable. It reminded me of Zombies Ate My Neighbors + Nuclear Throne. Not a bad combo.

The theme could be implemented better, as others have said. But still, really enjoyable.

nonimad 2018-08-17 16:20

Really nice! I enjoyed the game even if I felt the difficulty wasn't growing quickly enough. Anyway, I spent 15 minutes killing 2000+ zombies, and even managed to get out of bounds! Lovely simple old-school graphics, efficient music. Great game!

2018-08-17_17-40-28.png

My score btw: 563888 :D

rargrave 2018-08-17 23:29

i would have added in a shorter invincibility time it seems as though you are not getting reckt as much

zuhairghias 2018-08-20 14:25

It's really addictive, but its really easy to survive indefinitely.
