CONTROLLER HYPE!!!! Nice job. Good game. I couldnt find the what button to buy things was on controller and at one point i couldnt shoot right. Very minor things probably my controller. D:

Nice job with the graphics. Using the arrows keys for shooting was different :)

Haha this is cool. Noises are a bit harsh at times, and I found it hard to get very good at aiming with the controls . Really cool entry tho!

I really liked the game! Interesting choice in controls. I protected floaty as far as I could, you would be proud!

Neat little twin-stick nazi zombies like thing. I liked the setting and the piles of zombies I created, but Floaty was a little dumb... I think the game would do better with some way to move him around so he wouldn't get in front of the zombies. Nice work, though. I had fun.

I felt a lack on feedback on what I had to accomplish, I ended up killing a bunch of zombies to get money to open more way. Also the controls feels a bit slow, especially turning to shoot.

BUT ! It's always very fun to shoot at things, and the 3d models were quite good ! I also really liked the map design !

Great game, I liked the idea and wanted to protect floaty for as long as I could! I liked the graphics, and the mechanics were well polished as well! I sort of wish that you could aim using the mouse though, but other than that everything was well done for the given time, good job! <:

I'm gonna be brutally honest here, the graphics and noises kindaaaa suck, you can really improve 3D graphics just be tweaking the material roughness/glossyness and other features, all your materials look a bit samey and flat, next adding a bit of ambient occlusion and baked lighting goes A LONG way, as in some engines (unity and godot) can have this look that anything placed on a ground plane looks like it floats because they don't have default baked AO and their realtime lighting engines are kinda, uhhh... Otherwise I find the game pretty fun, and the only other thing that takes me away is the sound, but I don't really want to judge other people on sound on gamejams as it's a hard thing to do in a jam and I'm the first one here that said screw it and didn't even put sounds in my game!

Not the best game, but nothing that can be improved with a little bit of work!

First of all, I got to say: Camera movement is great. I played on keyboard and the controller for the character wasn't the greatest. What about using the mouse for aiming? In terms of graphics, I would love to see a bit different settings on the shaders and a bit of a stronger post-processing. But models were great!

I really loved this game. The graphics are simple and cool, the sounds are a nice addition. The only thing is that it's a bit hard to aim with the arrow keys, because you can only aim in 8 different directions, but the enemies can come from all direction. Other than that, it's a really cool game.

Not bad! Twin stick gunplay works quite well, all your meshes are quite appealing (Floaty especially, the particles with it are very nice). My main gripe is that I wasn't sure I understood how having the enemies go for Floaty instead of me improved the gameplay, beyond being there for the theme. I often found myself feeling powerless at Floaty's being assaulted, as he would often not seem to follow me when I try to flee and reposition.

One other nitpick is that the dim lighting lends itself to a rather grimey look which your lovely meshes don't fit with. Consider brightening it up a bit and playing with the lighting!

Well done!
