Interesting game. Might want to simplify the mechanics a bit to make it easier for the player to remember.

It was tricky but I had a good laugh playing this one. Well done.

Really struggled with the lack of a tutorial on this one; A lot of controls and a lot of steps, sadly not as intuitive as I hoped. Even so, it was a fun experience. The theme, sound and art got a good chuckle out of me.

not intuitive controls, but the music and the graphic mixes well.

Thanks for the feedback! We made a postjam update for the game which addresses some of the problems: - No more inventory slots. You can have just one item equipped. - Wrench doesn't need to be picked up, you already have it at the start of the game. Attacking happens from different buttons than interacting with the machines. - Zombies won't be spawning as frequently as before. - Fixing machines needs you to only not have a brain or bun equipped. If you have brain or bun equipped when there are no uses left in the machine, the option is always to fix the machine.

Nice game, a little bit hard with controlls

Really fun, I like the idea a lot. The graphics were nice and fit together well.

Cool game, although I was a bit confused with the controls. I like the zombie theme :)

Hard to understand at first sight but enjoyable after few games. Well done!

I really like the art, this game has a super funny/quirky attitude <3 I agree that the whole burger making process was a bit much for me to remember, but overall I like the idea of switching between those tasks and fighting off zombies. Only bug I found is that during one playthrough I seemed to get stuck fixing the toaster forever?

Great idea, tricky to pick up though.

I really like your idea, but for me it was too tricky to play. Some tutorial or guide while playing would be great.

I had assumed this would be very straight forward when I began playing and had a bad time. After reading the instructions the game is pretty fun! The whole process has a surprising number of steps but once you get into the swing of things the balance of preparing, fixing, and attacking is entertaining.

Had a bug early on where my character started fixing a machine, got caught in a fix loop, and just continued fixing the machine until I reset

The concept for this game seems soooooooooooo good!!!!

But, as mentioned above, I kept getting stuck in loops, early early on. So I haven't been able to figure out what the gameplay feels like.

Either way, the humour seems great, the music was enjoyable (sound effects too!) and the level design was charming.

I regret that it was unplayable for me, but it looks like you all made a great game. :D

Awesome concept for a game. Nice art style too. The balance of the game feels off. Also, there is so much potential! Great job with the game.

Holy shit, I was able to kill those zombies by myself since the beginning ? I found it only in my last run.

Good entry but it needs a tutorial. Good music and graphics.

Wasn't able to figure out how to combine the cooked brain with the toasted bun. Also had the infinite machine fixing bug.
