Neat game, I like the maneuverability with being able to crouch and grab walls. The controls were a bit weird, it feels like it was meant for a game-pad, not a keyboard. You've got a typo in your instructions, z shoots, not c.
It's quite tough, but I like the frantic feeling to it.
Impressive game, it seems quite well thought out.
The visuals and audio worked well together, and set a good mood for the gameplay, which unfortunately didn't really fit the 'Alone' theme. I get the idea, but it just didn't seem 'Alone'.
The gameplay itself was fun, even if a bit tough. I love the ability to rotate the screen, it adds a neat effect while not really changing the way it plays.
Overall, well done. One of my favourites so far.
Very intriguing take on the theme. While it's both fun and awkward to scream at your computer, I hesitate to call it a "game". As someone previously said, it's more like an interactive art piece -- which is still cool.
I like it, and it rates well with me, but I would have liked to see a more tangible goal or direction.
First off, I love that this is HTML5, well done. Runs smoothly here, gameplay somewhat reminds me of VR training in MGS, which is good, because I loved those missions.
The programmer art is clean and simple, though it could have benefited from some audio.
The game itself is very short, seems to be more of a demo than a game. I'd love to see this up and running with a full library of levels.
Overall, good job.
As the judging is coming to a close, I just wanted to thank everybody for taking the time to play my game. Your comments and feedback are invaluable, and are much appreciated.
Cheers,
Richard
Love the choice of music for this. The story was wacky, but for some reason I didn't question it. I like the creativity in how you got the player to solve the various puzzles even though the mechanic itself was very simple. This screams Hitchhiker's Guide to me, and I love it. Also, capes ARE awesome.
Interesting choice of deep quotes, considering the player is a bug eating junk food. The goal wasn't overly clear, and took some experimentation to figure it out. The visuals were well done.
You hit the theme decently well, simply beacuse you play a bug alone in a human's world, but the gameplay doesn't really help that feeling.
Nice little game, not overly innovative or unique, but it's fun. I like the choice of art style, it separates it from most other zombie games.
That said, there are a lot of zombie games.
The difficulty curve is quite steep, and by about level 6 it's nearly impossible to continue. With a bit of a more gradual curve, and maybe some choice in weaponry, it could be a fun mini-game.
