lilithkismet rated Record Store Nightmare

A downloadable game for Windows.

A time management zombie shooter (except you're throwing records, not actually shooting) with pixel art and Tapper-inspired multiple row gameplay. There are two modes of play; "speed run" where you survive 10 short waves (a successful completion takes under 3 minutes) and "endless" where you just try to survive as long as possible. There are a variety of different kinds of zombies to contend with as you run up and down the rows collecting records to use as ammo. The thing that I liked least about the game is the use of voice acted lines (probably by the dev) as sound effects for record pickups  ("Yes!" "Alright!") or to tell you that you're out of ammo. The tone of the voice is annoying, the sound quality of the recording is very bad, it didn't fit the 80s arcade aesthetic the game was going for, and it really stuck out when the other spoken lines in the game (a communication with rescue pilots) are just displayed as text. I ended up playing with sound effects turned off, but that of course also silenced zombie noises and other incidental sound effects.
