Love the game! Mouth-made sounds are just awesome :) The graphics are on point (as always), and the game is just overall very fun :D

enichols 2019-04-30 08:28

Awesome Game :) I love the sounds and the fast pace. Made me laugh while I ran around frantically.

oddsocks 2019-04-30 11:12

Awesome game... love the sound effects. Bob... hungry... Great comedy, fantastic pixel art, and solid coding. Top notch team :)

tricky-fat-cat 2019-04-30 17:23

Excellent job! I like gameplay and the idea which reminds me the game Scrubbse the zombie. Additionally, the visuals are pretty good.

maakole 2019-04-30 17:25

Awesome game, it's cool how much more strategy you could get from of the power system this way. The art style and graphics are especially great.

siryakko 2019-04-30 20:19

Love the sound eating people, but really hard to get through more than one day nice entry

nekorio 2019-05-01 08:18

Nice work on the sound design !

zax 2019-05-01 08:22

Really cool art! Nice entry

banzi 2019-05-01 08:23

Awesome! Nice graphics, sound and overall mood. I like the idea.

jin9310 2019-05-01 08:27

@siryakko @nekorio @giezi @enichols @oddsocks @artyom-volkov @maakole Thank you all for your feedback and such a nice words! We are really glad that you liked our little game.

Also to mention, special thanks needs to go to my wife, that helped us with all the sounds a lot! :) Actually to both of our wifes, as they were super supportive and supplied us with food, drinks and patience!

taffyko 2019-05-01 08:30

Nice, haha— Pretty solid spritework, and the recorded sound effects are entertaining. Pretty fairly fun in itself too, solid little submission you guys got.

dudum-lare 2019-05-01 11:28

Something that is really great about this game is that you get into it real quick. There are no confusing controls and such. Hahahaha - and those sound effects - hahaha - real fun.

saering 2019-05-01 14:23

5 stars for audio :clap:

The game is really fun ! The art is great, the zombie is perfect (I love his right eye shaking up and down), the voice acting made me laugh. I only think the game is a bit too difficult, sometimes you just start a day and wherever you run there's no one so you just die, without being able to do something. But this is a detail I think, easy to fix, so there's no problem about that. Great entry!

nigogo 2019-05-01 16:49

It's fun and pretty challenging. I like the graphics and the sound effects made me smile :smiley: Would've been nice to see the character stats in the menu while buying upgrades. You need to be really careful with buying upgrades so that you won't loose if there are no humans close to the spawn. I think this core idea fits the theme very well, great job! Also a big thumbs up for the supportive wives! :thumbsup:

douglima 2019-05-01 17:53

Awesome! The art is nice, super cute. Insta lose if you buy too many upgrades :smile:

t-a-c-commandeur 2019-05-01 19:07

Awesome pixel art!

tamail 2019-05-01 19:14

I couldn't stop playing it, it was so much fun :D I loved all the characters and I didn't want to leave the main menu or end game window because of the great drum music :D Amazing pixel art, by the way, I liked it a lot!

duke 2019-05-01 19:50

Cool game! The art is especially awesome. Very polished style and animations. The gameplay loop itself works as intendend and the theme is implemented in more than one facette. Sadly, it gets repetitive rather quickly. Would be awesome if there were more variations in gameplay or challenges in the later days. Other than day, great entry!

giu-zcc 2019-05-01 21:15

Good job guys, very nice to play, graphic and sound are awesome! I didn't understand if there is any difference between the characters you can eat, maybe it can make it more variable and interesting to put bonus or malus base on who you eat :)

fm-studio 2019-05-02 09:27

What a fun game! Graphics and sounds effect are great. I really loved it. good job.

jiri-hysek 2019-05-02 10:52

Lol what a funny game! I love the sound effects and the artstyle is amazing! Cool entry!

rgarbati 2019-05-02 10:55

Haha brainzzzzzzzzzzz ! Good little game, but the audio made me deaf xD

gabrielpirchenfellner 2019-05-02 11:26

Aweeeesome Graphics and I love the idea behind the game! Super cute!

damantisshrimp 2019-05-02 11:42

I love the art! It feels very polished.

mouthlessgames 2019-05-02 14:34

The visuals and humor are definitely the selling point here. The upgrades sure take a lot of life, in the beginning I could only buy a single upgrade per session to avoid dying too soon.

You should consider making a mobile app of this. Good job and thanks for making this. :-)

stev0o 2019-05-02 14:41

Seriously love the art style! I could play a much longer side scroller with this art. Great job!

2019-05-02 14:44

great art style! love the concept, only problem is death while purchasing abilities maybe a warning when your health gets too low or an option to make upgrades less costly. Great work thank you! You should implement a scroller.

backwardscap 2019-05-02 15:44

This is such a great game. I love the art and cute zombie noises so much! Great work

tony-redmer 2019-05-02 16:12

Art style is great and I'm loving the SFX! Game is a lot of fun to play as well :)

tiagorrech 2019-05-02 16:29

I like how the game looks so cute. The screams were a bit too loud, but that also made them funnier, so I'm kind of torn on that one :P

jamesolivermusic 2019-05-02 17:24

Double check the audio balance. Some of the SFX are a little loud compared to music. Maybe have some kind of sound when health gets low, or an indication on screen. Very nice visuals though, well done.

failedstarfish 2019-05-02 18:59

Awesome graphics and cute style, its also really fun to play. Great entry!

tangiblegames 2019-05-02 19:08

Pretty pixel art! Upgrades! Action! I like it a lot. :thumbsup:

zoneoutapps 2019-05-02 20:36

Haha...dude the soundtrack couldn't be better! Fun play! I felt like a beatnick zombie hipster!! :D (as a compliment of course!!)

spirits 2019-05-02 23:55

The gameplay was excellent, the art was beautiful, the sound effects were funny... Really enjoyed the game, my only concern is the difficulty, since I couldn't pass day 3 :sob:. Overall great game!

nikolay-zapolnov 2019-05-03 06:56

This is really cool zombie simulator! I never though before how difficult it is to be a zombie, when you have to continuously eat fresh brains or you'll die. This submission is amazing, really cool art and nice twist on the theme. Great job!

lesconneriesdered 2019-05-03 09:29

A very beautiful game with a great atmosphere! The fun is there and it's well cartoon as it should be without too much ^^ The music deserves to be perhaps more elaborate especially that the SFX are perhaps too strong

shunaky 2019-05-03 10:53

Great job, the art work it good but one issue (It's not really an issue but....) - The eating sound doesn't match with the screaming sound, one looks very arcade like and other very realistic

But the game is awesome, I would try building a city around the burger shop to not deal with the people random spawning in thin air...

Congratulations on this game, bro ^^

carpin 2019-05-03 13:51

Waw! Nice artstyle! I liked the idea and how you get into the theme. I lost 3 times cause of the decay! ahahahaha Nice game by the way!!

ianlux 2019-05-03 15:34

Excellent entry, I've laughed so hard at the sudden screaming from the civilians LOL

szabe 2019-05-03 20:34

Pretty nice and polished game! Well done! I especially liked the sound effects and the various screams! My only complaint is, that there aren't enough civilians, or there aren't enough variation of civilians. Otherwise great job! This was one of the few games that actually made me laugh!

flamus 2019-05-04 10:33

This game is great! So enjoyable on many levels. I got that feeling that i need to get better and better with each run. Cool graphics and upgrades. Only thing i would just turn the screams down a little, besides that - one of my favs! Good job!

deformhead 2019-05-04 11:31

Really good game ! Love the art style, well polished ! Good job ;)

tozzo4316 2019-05-04 15:54

Great game! But i couldn't finish some of my runs because the zombie got stuck while eating a dude: I couldn't move nor eat. Other than that sometimes the zombie starts eating 2 people at a time and it causes some strange audio behaviour. Overall a great game

ekilibr 2019-05-04 16:11

Hahaha that audio!

The game is really funny (especially thanks to the audio) & super easy to get. Pixel art style is really nice as well!

Turned off the sound after a couple of days as it was becoming a bit redundant, but other than that, really well done :)

stefan-jovanovic 2019-05-04 19:17

Amazing graphics. Really fun gameplay! Audio is hilarious! :smile: Keep up the great work!

caranha 2019-05-05 03:33

Hey, that was pretty good! I loved the idea and the sprites. I played around five times but could not get beyond day two. Maybe make the difficulty ramp up a bit more slowly?

Nice job!

gurkenlabs 2019-05-06 22:03

The voice acting was fun, the graphics were great and the overall mood was nice. However, the core gameplay needs some polishing and better balancing.

edevjogos 2019-05-07 01:47

I'm not a fan of zombie games, but the idea behind this one was so original and fun that i've enjoyed it alot, also the art is on point. Really good game.

kimily 2019-05-07 05:31

Sorry that I couldn't play it too long ;-; I'm hyper-sensitive to scary things(even though this wasn't even meant to be scary at all)

grllle 2019-05-07 09:55

Damn it, big <3 for Bob and this game!

secretpocketcat 2019-05-09 18:55

Lovely entry and those burger enthusiasts sure are nutrious! Visuals are really nice and I love how Bob degrades. The music track provides a good background sound. Unfortunatelly, the audio-mixing is somewhat unbalanced - I had to set my system volume really low in order to prevent my hears being blasted by the crazy loud screaming, which is a shame, as I didn't get to listen to the music much (I'm listeniing to it at least now as I'm typing this and the tempo of the drums goes really well with the eating mechanic). The game is quite funny as well - overall a really solid entry.

BTW. It could be nice if different food/people gave you some stat down/upgrades (jockeys are fast, but speed you up, burger-guys nutrious, but slow you down etc).

jin9310 2019-05-10 12:46

@secretpocketcat Thanks a lot for kind words and Your feedback!

It is truth that the sound balance is far from perfect, and we know that. We are sound-rookies, but we'll get there one day ;) And to Your final note I can only say that we have planned more, but had to cross some mechanisms as the time wouldn't allow us to finish it in time. Among those were actually the ones you mention, that is why we designed the NPCs the way they are. We also had to cross COMBOS from the list and even few animations and sprites that were already done. But it's a JAM and that time window can't be prolonged, so we had to CUT in order to deliver. I hope that we'll have the energy and motivation to continue in this and perhaps one day, share bit better and more balanced game, we have that on paper already ;)

mika-la-grand 2019-05-10 17:00

Eventhough zombies have been done to death, you guys made a great and innovative game. So well done! I also agree with the points @secretpocketcat made.

ivan-garcia-filho 2019-05-12 13:24

Awesome entry with amazing graphics.

There's a lack of sfx to increase the presence of the protagonist, like some idle loops (grunts, growlings, groans), footsteps to add weight to the character and increase the juiceness of the character eating the victims with more blood splatts sfx/vfx followed by an array of random sfx like slurps, bones breaking, and tearing flesh.

Also add some ambience sfx to the park, like birds, wind, people talking and tree leaves shaking.

henanboy 2019-05-13 01:37

I had a lot of fun playing this game. The sound effects are hilarious, and the animation for the sprites are amazing. Awesome work!

z0rlog 2019-05-19 17:05

Loved this game! Nice graphics, great sounds :smile: Amazing work!
