Nice work! It stimulates my need for maze-building tower defense :D

Game chugs with a thousand population, but that's not terribly surprising. Game is fun despite being simple, but I just find walls to be completely useless. Only complaint is that towers don't fully refund when you sell them, and while it's annoying, it doesn't really matter

Though, I will also mention, I got a bug multiple times where the game just became unresponsive for seemingly no reason. It first occurred after I built a tower super far from the camp, and a few more times very early in the next couple runs. My best guess is that it has *something* to do with zombies eating people when build capacity is maxed out, as this was what happened every time except the first time.

@123seven3 HAHAHA at least I know the limit of the game now! NICE =) Yeah I'm looking for that bug and hopefully I can publish a fix for it soon. The game would need more balancing to make it harder, but didn't have enough time sadly.

Well the walls are not really all that useful considering how fast the population is growing your better of just building towers. But aside from that a ver good entry. Very towerdefensy. :-) Game crashed on me a couple of times in the WebGL verson. Overall fun game. Kepp it up.

I was happily sitting in my base when it froze. Still, safe to say I've got the zombie apocalypse sorted out. Those hours in AoE2 paid off - no walls, only towers!

Cool game! The graphics are quite nice and I like how the controls works.

I ran into a bug a couple of times where the game became unresponsive at first with about 100 people, but the second time with only 7 when I walled myself in!

I was building my zombie killing maze when it broke sadly :( Nice little game, i think, buy just looking at this, that some math has been done there, right ? Anyway, had fun, most of tower defense game i played recently (and not recently) got me bored, but this one, just by the fact i could create whatever death traping maze i want, give me some real fun !

Great job !

@lanalux Thanks Lana, I'm trying to decide if I will make bigger game out of this. I will let you know if I do :)

Hi, there! I managed to collect 100 people and I decided to stop the game. I like that you decided to make such a game. It gave me nice unique experience. It was interesting to try it. And I like when someone make experimental games. It lacks details but as it is a combo entry it is more than enough the level of details to convey the idea. Concept is cool. (Btw, I crashed at first playthrough.)

Would looks better with some small animations. Zombies walking unsteady, rifle kickback etc

amin-jk000 2020-10-12 22:30

I liked the idea and concept nice job :v:

I really like the control scheme! The graphics remind me of (a much better rendition of) one of my early jam entries, where I also went for red roofs and brown woodworks. Though the fog was a bit excessive considering how zoomed out the map can get.

The game sadly crashed at 57 population, but it was running perfectly fine until that point! Must have been a spurious error.

Shooting the zombies was a lot of fun!

I would be nice, when the difficulty curve was a bit steeper. It feels as if the zombie spawning does merely increase, but I can build exponentially more towers. This makes the late game too easy.

I would also have enjoyed manual aiming, since I often disagreed over target priorities with my protagonist.

Cool game. It is fun to kill zombies and build things haha, and the controls work well. The graphics are simple but functional. The only problem I faced is that my game crashed when I was apparently defeated. But this is just an observation, it is not something that got in the way of my experience. Good job.
