Solid game loop, early game feels fun and tense. Great atmosphere with the graphics, sfx and music. Lack of variety was the only downside, and your not finished features list seems to agree with this.

Made it to 14:37, 483 kills w/ 21 delivers. Got too cocky with the speed upgrades and trapped myself in a group of enemies. Had good fun with this

Do I really need to install that? or is something wrong with the included runtimes?

I love top down shooters. Nice gameplay, great result for jam!

I had a lot of fun playing this game. I really like Monogame so respect for making using it. I would have liked a custom mouse cursor or a laser pointer. The game started out a little too easy. I think it would be a cool idea if the zombie speed increased as the game went on to add an extra challenge. Other than that this is a pretty solid entry.

@pope-paf .NET 7 is typically distributed with Windows, it's possible that your system may be missing some necessary Windows updates.

My system just detected trojan in your game... i suggest checking your computer

pedryx 2023-05-11 20:58

@demuss, I'm sorry to hear that your system detected a trojan in our game. However, I believe that this might be a false positive. I can assure you that game has been thoroughly tested, and had multiple individuals play it on different computers without detecting any issues.

Good idea, really slow-moving and definitely not theme-related.

commanderstitch 2023-05-12 03:44

got the same thing @pope-paf did. :(

Is it any chance to see a HTML5 version?

need idle, need goal

It's been a long time since I tried to develop a game myself with the game engine MonoGame. But it's nice that the engine is still used. It's a pity that there is no web solution for the engine, or I don't know it yet.

About the game itself: Nice sprites and simple gameplay suitable for a mini game.

Cool game. It feels surprisingly polished already! The visuals are nice and detailed. I particularly like the reload animation and the fog effect. Sound effects are all high quality, and the music sets the mood well. The core concept is solid, and it's cool being able to choose upgrades every time you complete a delivery. '

Unfortunately, the pace feels a bit slow. Getting from package to package seems to take a long time, especially at the start without movement upgrades. It also takes a while before the enemies ramp up enough to be an actual threat.

really fun game with simple concept but addictive game loop! my first reaction when I saw the game was pure nostalgia, it reminded me of my first ever game made with Unity back in 2019 where I used the same sprites with a very similar game idea lol. I got the same prompt as a previous comment mentioned where I was asked to download .net runtime, now I don't really use any .net language or framework so I never really needed that, but I downloaded it to play your game anyway, and I had plenty of fun! as I said the game is simple but keeps you engaged, the upgrades and how different zombies have different health adds a strategy element that keeps the game from becoming repetitive which is nice, good job on this!

I really enjoyed this game. The game is terribly simple, but every time I chose an improvement, I had to make the most difficult choice. I'm sure if you complete the rest of the ideas and add some storyline, the game will become popular very soon!

Nice game with good darky atmosphere! I really like top-down shooters and upgrades, so it was nice ride. =)

Project is promising, I hope you don't abondon game and finish listed features, and may be some plot/npc/bosses/locations. Good job!

Screenshot 2023-05-12 183758.png Movement speed OP. Haha! I abused the movement speed upgrade and it became my demise, I was tooo fast in in the end. Pressing a movement button was almost guaranteed to send me walking into a zombie xD

Very simple idea but it was still fun to see how far you can make it! Keeping a score during the gameplay or a score that shows how good my run is, would have rounded up things a bit more! But fun is fun, so well done! :)

The atmosphere was really good. I also really liked the upgrade system. The graphics and effects were nice. It got very monotonous at some point, but since it's a jam game, it's okay.

Well done.

rapture 2023-05-13 12:31

Very addictive for such a small game! Good job, wanna see fully finished version of this :)

dummy432 2023-05-18 15:47

i am on linux and i was surprised to see dotnet work on it first try with your game.... good game i really liked the animations.... overall good effortSelection_010.png

Great little game!! I had no problems getting it up and running myself, and really enjoyed it until my glorious death 2:42 in!

Now I'm a bit of a simp for zombie-themed games, but I thought the atmosphere was done really well. Great work on that! If you'd gotten around to the weather and footsteps I'm sure it would've made an even better impression.

My only bit of advice I'd like to give is that using Comic Sans as your font is- well... It's a bit too much of a meme. There's lots of REALLY nice, licence-free fonts you can grab for yourself online (from DaFont or a similar site). Give them a go!

Keep up the great work!! :smile:
