Very atmospheric graphics. Great work on making all the assets within the timeframe, very impressive. Crying in your house as the world turns to zombies: relatable lol

I like the concept ! I was expecting to be able to defend myself, but the base being the only defense makes it unique

darandin 2022-04-04 10:45

I was able to survive through wave 4, but couldn't figure out how to survive any longer

Great graphics!! Addition sounds and ambiance would have added a lot, but this is a very solid submission! Thank you for uploading!

Nice entry! I love the visual theme and the art style alot! Very captivating!

The only thing I felt was for the movement of the player to be a bit more smoother. I personally felt the character takes a bit of time to react to the clicks!

@darandin

I didn't think of an cool way to have the guy defend himself as he's 'paralyzed with fear' so I had him simply sit down and weep, otherwise I would've turned this into some kind of doom-like zombie killer game.

There's a lightning bolt that hits every once in a while which supposed to help the player but right now I made the game this difficult just to have the game-loop much shorter so that it doesn't become too easy/boring.

Thank you very much for the review! :v:

I really liked the idea of being unable to fight back, it made it fit the theme much better in my opinion. I also thought the graphics worked very well, both the environment and the fog/FX, with a consistent low poly look across the board!

Mood is nice, but how to survive?

vilmantas 2022-04-04 11:00

@diccuric-sigeon

All you can do is open crates, pick up planks and fix up the shelter. You can't actually 'survive' as the dead will get you sooner or later.

So many different assets in here for compo. Graphics are amazing!

Amazing art and atmosphere! The few waves I was able to do were really fun. I think there's a great base here for a larger game.

Beautiful game!! Graphics are very nice, the idea is pretty cool, since you feel hopeless when you're just waiting for the night to pass, it'll be nice to have something to do during the night at some point in the game. I think this idea can be expanded into a full game if you add something like that. Loved the art style! Congrats on your game!

That game is really challenging, I couldn't go beyond the third wave. Nice graphics, it really gives the game a depressing atmosphere

beefsock 2022-04-05 18:46

Fun game! I could absolutely see this being built into a full game. I like that if you have a plank of wood and a wave is incoming you don't just drop it and walk back but actually bring the plank back to base to fortify. Nice lightning effects too.

glayson 2022-04-05 21:30

It's impressive! the game looks great and works very well! I have a suggestion, let the first waves be less punishing so the player can see the entire shelter you made!

Great job!

jsmitq 2022-04-05 21:32

This definitely has potential for future development. I appreciate the graphics and the fog sets a good mood

ccglp 2022-04-05 22:04

Great potential to add a little more depth to the game to make it last longer :) Graphics are superb and the controls feel responsive, maybe adding a little bit depth with the "crafting" part would make this a hit! Good work!

saryah 2022-04-06 08:13

Very enjoyable and very fitting game for the theme. Such a cool concept overall, and the style is very nice. A great entry!

zer0-flash 2022-04-06 11:16

Love the concept and the game amazing

fredrik-rosell 2022-04-06 11:24

I really like the mood. Looks great too. Well done!

neowhoru 2022-04-06 11:40

very interesting concept..but i was not able to move very long :D ah and btw. nice to find other guys who use Rider too :D

pashaf 2022-04-06 11:56

It's very interesting game! But find boxes for a very long time...

ocwal 2022-04-06 19:27

This was so scary. I died so fast before I got the hang of it. When I did it was really fun. Would love to see more sound effects (what do the zombies sound like??) and maybe some music. Graphics are great!

ramil-dev 2022-04-06 20:40

Almost made it to round 6! I enjoy difficult games :). Nice work, impressive ammount and quality of models and vfx for a compo game. pic.png

kate-black 2022-04-07 12:53

its nice)

bradur 2022-04-07 15:19

Cool that you managed such a large amount of 3D assets for a compo entry! It was very hard to gather wood since most of the boxes were so far away. I had a good laugh at the guy cowering in fear within his hovel.

pcoridan 2022-04-08 18:33

Controls felt good, loved the mood of the map. Would of been nice to have some background music. I wanted to play longer than the 3 waves, but I understand why you did that.
