This is a really fun game to play with. The gameplay is very simple but effective and the controls are easy to use, well done! The game does get a bit too hard approaching the end when dozens of the enemies (I think they are zombies?) swarm towards you.
Very moody and a great challenge. I love the design choice and aesthetic and could see that style in a larger project. I think the only thing I'd have liked to see was being able to push back zombies or keep them at pistol range when they are close enough to attack, but honestly if they're there you've probably already lost. Excellent work, loved it!
I love the art style of the this, I wish I could make art like it. I found it surprisingly challenging quite quickly, so my only suggestion is a slightly slower ramp-up of enemies, and some additional variety (maybe a meele attack, or other weapon pickups?)
But I think the strongest thing is the atmosphere and tension, which I really enjoyed.
Thanks for making this! I really enjoyed it.
Love the atmosphere!
Mood and suspense is unbelievable! I really associate myself with character. Nice match with theme!
I think this game is a great example on how on Compo context you can create something incredibly atmospheric that for sure get's your heart running. Sounds were on point, art was consistent and great. Really really polished and super on point with the theme. I think its my favourite compo so far!
For a compo this is amazing! Top notch on the mood, it really felt immersive to where I really was trying to fight for my actual life.
This is really cool, you really nail the atmosphere here and I always felt that I was fighting for my life. My only criticism is that it was sooo difficult towards the end of the wave. Other than that I loved everything about it, I could fire that gun all day. Great jam!
Very impressive experience for a compo game under 28MB. Easy to pick up and enjoy. I was hoping for an item drop at some point from the enemies, but died a few times until that darn scooter was charged! :) I hope you enter this jam into the county fair, cause it was delicious. XD
The art style for this is pretty rad. Almost like a PS1 game remade with 2d pixel art. Found the game to be pretty difficult, but that was all part of the challenge. Audio was mixed well and really added to the atmosphere. Great entry!
Very nice, atmospheric game! Well done!
More challenging than it seems at first glance. Although you can shoot without stopping, doing so is very likely to cause the zombies (I assume they are zombies) to attack you more quickly when you receive crossfire
I love the atmosphere of the game! And It gets hard fast! I did manage to get a bit further once I got used to the hitboxes and could more easily hit the enemies. Good job
It's a great game! Very simple, but at the same time complete. Great job!)
Awesome game, very strong atmosphere. I really liked the fluid animation and rotating arms of the character combined with the pixel art
I really liked the game. The concept is simple but works well, the art is great. It was really challenging to survive until the end. I would say the only thing the game is missing is some zombie sounds, otherwise really great work !
Really great atmosphere you got there. As others have said, the difficulty ramps up too quickly, and I think there should be more moments of calm, maybe with special zombies that explode when dying and kill everyone around them, or some drops to get better but limited weapons. You've got a solid base I think and iterating on top of it should bring a great game. Oh, the nice detail that you transform into a zombie when you die is cherry on top the cake!
Great mood and atmosphere like said up, it's really hard but for a jam it's perfect, the pixel art it's amazing!
Well done! Take a candy! :candy:
Nice small game! Amazing entry for the Compo! Love the zombie movie vibes. The art style and animations are great. My meta was just shooting like a madman into the dark trying to kill the zombies from afar. Had a lot of fun, good job!
I really liked the idea of acceleration! It is very pleasant to feel the shooting and movement of opponents. Great game!
I beat the game, not bad for a game made in 2 days. It would've been cool if headshots were a thing and maybe a reload button. Everyone already said everything else, I agree the mood is the best part of this and it's simple gameplay is fun.
Really astonishing atmosphere with the dimly street light and the zombies, nice job! The pixel art is crispy and polished, I like the fact that you got separate sprites for each direction the player's aiming at. The sound effects are nice too with the gunshot and hurt sounds, they really made the experience more enjoyable.
But there're little things that I bothers me. First is the difficulty curve, the game gets hard really quickly, roughly around 1 minute from the start, I didn't even get pass 50% of the battery before I died. Second, I found out that it's hard to deal damage to the zombies sometimes, maybe because of the hitbox is rather small or the bullets just failed to detect for collision against them.
But regardless, this is a very well done entry with a simple and fun gameplay, and don't forget the mood is peak. I liked it a lot!
So.. I killed all zombies Untitled34edrfg.png
Awesome visuals and take on the theme. At first I was wondering what it had to do with the theme, but then I quickly felt completely oppressed and it hit me :D
The visuals are amazing, everything looks so polished, and the animation of the arms look really cool as well.
It would have been perfect with a nice moody music track :p
Good job!
Very nice game! Loved the graphics and the mood!
