Ranked from 20 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Shoot or shout is a casual game where the player controls 2 characters. The shooter and the shouter. None of them can survive the zombie hordes without the other person's help. One has a gun to kill zombies, the other has no weapons but he can distract the hordes with shouting. This duo is Stronger Together.

Important: The game only plays properly in fullscreen for some reason.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code but I used assets from the assetstore.

Very innovative idea! Had a lot of fun. Just one thing, I found I can keep all the zombies in the centre without moving, and play it endlessly...So maybe you can improve it with some mechanics forcing me to move.

Developer

Thank you! I'm on it! :)

Good idea, fits the theme very well. Maybe it need some other obstacles to make you move up and down often.

Developer

Ohhh I have great plans for this game! :)
Thanks!

Nice idea! Well use of the theme.
Could be a little more fun if you had a visual counter of how many zombies you kill. At least when you die. Also the Up/Down arrows become pointless once you put both players in the middle of the screen and start to alternate between Q and W in a perfect timing.

Still a great job for a jam! Congratulations!

Thanks for your feedback! I'm planning to work on this game a bit more, prolly various levels will make use of the Up and Down arrows later.

Pretty cool concept! I would love to see it turn into some exploring game with some background story!

Developer

Thanks, I'll polish this project a bit for sure!: )

Cool idea and unique gameplay!

Nice game! A good implementation of the theme :)

Pretty fun game, although it seems a bit easy as you can alternate between shouting and shooting at a certain rhythm and you'll never die. Some variety might be nice, like incoming projectiles that you need to dodge. With some polishing, this is a cool game!

Thanks for the reply, I'm glad you had a bit of fun with it. Yeah I have some plans for this game in the future. Maybe various zombie types or more levels, or both. Not sure yet. Yeah even tho the idea is fun I didn't really know how to make it balanced so it's easy to exploit it's issues if you play 1-2 minutes.

Thanks once again! :)

Really fun to play, It´s entertaining!

Nice little Game the control are hard to understand tho.

Developer

Yeah, without actual gameplay footage it can be pretty confusing at start... :D

love the concept but, the art needs a rework and the audio is a bit lacking, the zombies are a bit too fast and they are spawning too fast so it's not really fun, a bit of polishing is in order like a score system or the zombies like rather than going straight for the players it should go in one straight line in one direction and do a 180 turn, might also want to add small touches like camera shake or blood splatter.

good job :D

Thanks for the critique, the reason some of the things are missing is because I simply lack experience.

But still, thanks a lot, I'm planning to work on this game after the Jam is over! :)

good luck :D

Cool game, the concept is interesting, but could use a bit more polish - maybe a score counter.

Developer

Thank you! I definitely plan to work on it a bit more later. :)

Interesting concept but you should add a cooldown for the zombies switching directions because I found that if you rapidly switch between shooting and shouting the zombies would turn around rapidly and be stuck in place.

Also please try and rate my game

Developer

Thank you for your reply! Yeah I realised the exploit after I uploaded my game. I'll definitely fix it in the next week.
