Pretty fun game got a score of 226. I like how the ghosts and the zombies kind of work together to kill you

yamiog 2018-08-13 18:18

Thanks

The concept is pretty cool! The gameplay feels very good and the grafics are nice.

yamiog 2018-08-14 00:31

thanks!

I really like the music and sound effects. I also really like the character art style. let me ask you a question: do you see the zombies as destroying the land or as infecting it? When I shot an enemy if my first bullet hit I think the next ones, if the bullets would have hit the zombie, don't fly out and apply damage without hitting or maybe just teleport. I couldn't kill the ghosts without using the super power. Is that on purpose?

Realy nice Game. I liked the Concept of the Game and the Audio!

yamiog 2018-08-14 14:41

@madar-games Uh I forgot to say but you kill the ghost with the sword and the zombies infect the land.

yamiog 2018-08-14 14:47

@c0nst4ntin thanks I really liked you game too!

It's a funny "invasion" way and good use of the theme!

mobiusdisco 2018-08-14 15:59

Game idea was cohesive and creative idea! had fun!

yamiog 2018-08-14 15:59

@goldranger @mobiusdisco thanks

suchista 2018-08-14 16:09

Fun game! And I like the theme execution :)

siridakis 2018-08-14 16:33

I like to think of them as vegan zombies eating my crops or something Damn ghosts :/ got me everytime I kinda suck at it, because I don't have a mouse (using notebook's touchpad) Simple idea, nice little guys. The colours work ok in the game but in the title it kinda hurts my eyes. The music is cool and thrilling

yamiog 2018-08-14 16:36

@siridakis thanks yeah I agree about the title, but I was more worried about the gameplay at the time I did want to make it better though.

planetgames 2018-08-15 01:34

so simple, yet so fun. excellent jam game!

yamiog 2018-08-15 01:37

@planetgames thanks! Personally I thought it was really bad.

dk5000p 2018-08-15 01:47

I thought the shots were not super accurate and did not know how to use the sword. Some controls would have been nice. I enjoyed the artwork and the gameplay, though.

yamiog 2018-08-15 02:02

@dk5000p Thanks for the feedback. It was my first time trying to code a gun that would shoot to your cursor I will try to improve on it next time.

awix 2018-08-15 05:22

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

void-productions 2018-08-15 05:53

Simple yet fun game.

bloodyaugust 2018-08-15 09:09

1112 was my high score! Good entry overall, having to juggle the ghost enemies and the ever-encroaching zombie horde played really well. The sound was also nice, as was the high-contrast nature to the art.

That said, it was held back by a few bugs I noted.

- The first hit on a zombie meant that successive bullets didn't actually fire, but hit-scanned. - I sometimes got stuck on green edge tiles and had to move sideways inward while strafing away from ghosts, which was frustrating. - The UI for HP and special attack was not visible in a "restart" game, so I had to quit and re-load. - While not a bug, I didn't notice the question mark button until my 3rd run, so I had no idea that the blue bar was a special attack. Maybe including this as a normal menu item under "How to Play" would be more obvious.

Again, nicely done on a fun entry! :smile:

yamiog 2018-08-15 13:51

@bloodyaugust I feel bad for you... zombieinvasionhighscore.PNG Also am I allowed to fixed bugs possibly?

conorod 2018-08-15 20:47

Really nice, simple execution of the theme that plays solidly and works well.

yamiog 2018-08-15 21:50

@conorod thanks!

bloodyaugust 2018-08-15 23:14

@yamiog I'll settle for #2. ;) Only game-breaking ones, unfortunately. But there's nothing stopping you from creating a post-compo version!

draperdanman 2018-08-15 23:20

This is a really strong entry! The difficulty curve feels so natural. Keeping it simple with a really fun core loop is definetly the way to go! Looking forward to seeing what yoh do in the future!

notbadgun 2018-08-16 09:04

Love the art for this!

drikdrok 2018-08-16 14:30

Easily one of the better games this LD! Great job!!

yamiog 2018-08-16 17:14

@drikdrok @notbadgun thanks

him 2018-08-17 04:14

Pretty good but personally i think the ghosts are a bit too hard to avoid

comenoha 2018-08-17 05:13

I loved the game as a whole, although I agree with @HIM that the ghosts make the game a little too difficult I think. I really really liked the implementation of the theme. Well done!

thebmxeur 2018-08-17 14:48

Wait, there is a sword ?

yamiog 2018-08-17 14:53

@thebmxeur yeah(it says it in the help/how menu)

svntax 2018-08-20 01:56

This game was pretty fun! I could see this expanded on as an arcade-style game.

riptidestudio 2018-08-20 15:54

Liked the dynamics and idea. Cool!

erikkire 2018-09-01 20:24

Fun to play and well polished with details like screen-shake. The gameplay is quite standard but the shrinking of the level based on the enemies made it much more interesting to play. Good sound effects and good that you added some music! The difficulty level was perfect for me and I also liked the progression o increasing difficulty over time.
