Cool concept, but it needs some work. First normalize the vector when moving so that the player isn't faster than he should be when pressing w + a or d. Second maybe try to fix the audio loops so that zombies don't cut each other off. And last hide the cursor. It's very easy to do in unity and for me it's necessary in a first person game.
Hey! Thanks for your feedback.
We will normalize the speed for diagonal running - great point.
Currently working on a fix for the zombies.
What do you mean by hide the cursor? In the menu screens?
your game is kinda awesome , cool , keep up the good work and can you rate us please. :)))

Thanks for the love!
Really cool graphics and atmosphere! Wish the camera had a bit more field of view, but that's because I'm a fanatic of it!
Thanks for thefeedback!! we updated it in our newer version
Mining + Zombies!! Great idea and concept!
however the controls need to be adjusted
Please don't forget to rate our games guys: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/574177
Thanks Omar! working on them now!
Really fun concept! Enjoyed it a lot. Tons of atmosphere and I think the devs have used the assets well so that it toes the line between scary and goofy. I think for a jam game made in such a short time they've done great.
My only real critisism is that you have to dig at very bright green lights which on a big screen can be a bit blinding. But that's only a small detail and didn't affect my enjoyment of the overall game.
Jimmy, thank you so much for your feedback! Yes we were going for a horror but not so horror type of style haha. Cartoonish i guess!
Oh that's awesome feedback thank you. Each particle has a light attached. I will look into it!
Thanks again, and happy you enjoyed it!! New release coming soon
It's a interesting concept. But, and I mean a big but, you need to fix these bug ASAP (as mentioned in the comments below): the camera FOV seems to big a bit to big, it feels like I'm always zoomed in. Some zombies seem to not die no matter the amount of bullets you shoot at them! After I have killed the needed amount of zombies, I just didn't know where to go or what to do, the text (I'm assuming) telling me what to do, dissapeared very quickly. I suggest just keeping the objective on the screen at all times. Aside from that, the game is fun and you did a good job, keep improving it! :)
Wow, thanks for all of your feedback!!
Okay I will take a look at FOV, zombie damage notifications, and quest tracking.
Thanks again Dima!! really appreciate it
Pretty good concept, although the gameplay was a bit janky at times when trying to fight back against the zombies. I also ended up getting glitched out when I did which caused my health to constantly drain almost instantly every time I respawn. But good entry regardless
Thanks for trying the game!! Yes we realized the hitboxes were off (not enough playtesting prior to submission i guess). We've looked into it for our next release, thanks for letting us know!!
I like zombies, so I'm easily impressed. XD
Nice game overall, unfortunately I couldn't find where to go once I had the cure, but it was fun nonetheless. Could be a nice endless casual game for mobile!! Nice job!!
Here is our game, please consider rating it too ;)

The amount of time that was spent on the graphics can be seen .Really enjoyed it. Well done!
Thanks Rhang!! really appreciate it dude
I liked the look of the game , would fix the after first death bug where you press play again and the health automatically reduced to 0 and you can't move.
Hey kingdavegames thanks for trying our game! Yes! It was one of the first bugs we looked into after submissions - it's been fixed! Thanks for letting us know about it :D
Good entry! Really nice game design and cool concept! I encountered a bug where after I turned into a zombie for the first time, the game wouldn't allow me to move and the health bar depleted in about 2 seconds. Completely fine for a jam game, but a bit frustrating when just easying into the game for the first time.
Thanks for your nice comments PlanetRealm! We looked into that bug and found the issue - it's been fixed for the next release! :D Thanks for letting us know about it
I completely understand your frustration. One of the best parts of gameDev is the bugfixes!! :D
No worries and glad you could fix it so fast! Hahaha I'm the artist, I should ask our programmer about how fun bugfixing is but I think he might disagree xD
Interesting game. A few bugs (the hitboxes are awful, don't know how or why, and dying makes you die every time you restart). The FOV is a bit too much narrow but maybe you aimed for that feel.
Anyways, you completed your game! And you should count that as a win :P
Thanks!! We've updated the hitboxes (and a few other bugs) for our next release.
Thanks so much
Firstly tried to to kill zombie with the shovel, then checked the comments and found a gun :D
Cool dark atmosphere. Like it!
hahaha awesome! Yes we definitely wanted a shovel in there as a weapon, but the gun definitely makes it more fun! Thanks for checking out our game
Nice little game, however I found it a little confusing at first, I would hit the zombie with the shovel but they wouldn't die, eventually I realized I needed to dig holes where the green particles were, I found a gun and started shooting at the zombie but it still wouldn't die, also I think the cameras field of view was just a little too narrow, aside from that though you did a pretty good job completing all this in one week! Keep it up and I hope to see more of this in the future :)
Thanks for playing and for your feedback!
We believe there were a few hitbox issues with the Zombies. We've added it to our bug list (and have since fixed it) for our next release!
I really like the game, in so many ways, but there are bugs that make it all difficult to keep playing. Keep improving that's a good game at all!

Thanks Lukas for your feedback! Which kind of bugs did you encounter?
when I died the first time I keep dying stuck in the begging, I neither could walk or start properly the game . I don't think is something that hard to fix. You have done a good job here!
I think that you could improve the leveldesign. Something like different trees and grass would improve the look of your game.
Feel free to check out my game aswell :)

Thanks Polygon! Yes great idea. We had only the 7 days to code and implement all the mechanics and design. We are already starting on better world design/layout and more trees/grass and paths! Thanks for your feedback!
I liked tour theme, the best part is the Atmosphere that you created. It's fun using the health bar as some sort of timer. But the game is bugged in a way that difficults the gameplay. But the game is nice, really hope you guys keep improving it.
Trevz! Thanks so much for your nice words! We worked hard on the atmosphere, so thank you. Yes we were aiming for a challenging game and not just an easy game to win (like most games today). In which ways is it bugged? I'd love to hear more
We definitely work more on it and release an update soon!
I was mostly annoyed by two. The first one is the shovel hitbox, it only hits the zombie when you are on a very specific distance. Even if he's closer than that you just miss. The second one is that when you respawn the life bar just goes down like you were been hit, even though there's no one around. And keep going, your game is great. =D
Yes the shovel hitbox is supposed to short range - like a melee weapon. I will take a look at the bug you mentioned "Even if he's closer than that you just miss."
Yes the lifebar after respawn is broken. Sorry about that. New update coming soon and it will fix it. Thanks again for your feedback and awesome kind words!!
Great atmosphere and sounds but it's really buggy. The idea is good but it needs to be polish. You have to be really close to shoot them and i didn't know where to take the serum.
Thanks for your comments REandelon. What makes it really buggy? What do you feel needs polishing?
Yes we tried to make a big world to explore, and we made one unique location that is not like the others. We also didn't want the game to be easy. We like a challenge.
I'd love to hear more
