Really like the idea, u did great!

ogelgames 2019-04-30 12:39

Looks great, and menus/UI is really well done, but I can't work out what I'm supposed to do...

mioreya 2019-04-30 13:01

Cool idea and UI is really nice. Couldn't figure out how to do anything in a level though...

felipe-osorio 2019-04-30 21:21

I tested it on another computer, and it turns out to be bugged when you start out a level. I'll upload a version with this fixed soon! @starboy @ogelgames @mioreya

felipe-osorio 2019-04-30 21:36

Alright, should be fixed now.

The game is interesting and looks good. I really enjoyed playing it.

Hey! I'm sorry I couldn't showcase your game on stream, but I ended up liking it a lot! It's all super polished, and with the exception of one zombie that didn't behave like I expected him to, the mechanics are all well put together which makes for some fun puzzle action. Even tho all the art assets indivudually are super good, I think they clash together, but I think the game has potential for a fun small full release with more enemy types and goals. Thank you for submitting your game!

I'm confused about what I was supposed to do, I like the art and controls though

One of 'em just jumped right into the abyss in level 2 :-)

There is a bug after restart - I have to end the turn, which in that case is the enemy turn. Why don't I start with a player turn?

The AI seems to be rather stupid - that is random.

Very nice graphics and sound effects. I love the pixelly characters, very cool. One thing that sticks out a bit is the city icon. It looks more like a nuclear power plant or a waste dump, it seems to have a higher resolution than the other visual elements.

The game play is fun but not at all a challange. This is a pity, I only had to sacrifice an arm once in the whole game. All the levels are way too easy. I like puzzles and this one could have been very interesting. You created a good mechanic but the lack of difficulty makes the game kind of boring after a couple of rounds. I feel that the first dismemberment that I had to do taught me when to use this mechanic. That was in level 3 or 4 I think, exactly the right time to make the game introduce me to it after teaching me how to do the rest. Then it never came up again. Very unfortunate.

I hope that next time after you create your main mechanic you spend time really exploring the available puzzle space that you created. There could have been so many different styles of levels, I am sure there is a really challenging game in there.

Overall still a very nice game, great job, keep up the good work!

Really fun mechanics and great level of polish!

Nice tactical puzzler! You spent some time blinging up the UI, which gives some good snappy mood. :) The gameplay was nice, a bit straightforward at times. Music and sounds effects a good companion. Would have loved a bit of 'story fluff' too.

Nicely done!

awesome music and soundeffects aswell as the art :) i really like it

Love the idea of this; it could make some very interesting puzzles. One issue I saw: the attack read "does no damage to zombies" but still worked fine on them. This made a lot of levels pretty easy; I rarely had to sacrifice limbs. The fall off animation when enemies jumped of ledges was very satisfying. Nice work overall.

multiplexor 2019-05-12 18:40

Nice! UI and music are great, and the mechanics are fitting the theme. I was a bit confused towards what dismembering myself did to benefit me (as zombies seemed to ignore my limbs and eat me instead in certain situations). But overall is a good game! Good job :D

Keep up the hard work!

The music and sound effects are harmonious. Playing was fun.

The only thing that bothered me was that certain graphics are Vector based and other pixel types and then with different resolutions but that's just a small detail.

Congratulations on the great game.

Very polished and lovely. You may not have created the assets yourself but you showed great care and good taste in how they were used. Well executed game mechanic and one of the best takes on the theme I've seen for sure!

aurel 2019-05-13 23:48

I actually really liked this game. I love little puzzlers like this. I found the zombies to be quite dumb, and sometimes chose to run around instead of eating me, and I was confused because the attack seemed to actually kill the zombies in my case!

Either way - it was really nice. (I played the version without the game breaking bug?)

paulo-brunassi 2019-05-14 20:42

Very polished game, but I got stuck on the third screen. The zombi is in a floating tile and I'm on the main 'land' and I can't figure out what to do to kill the zombie.
