A neat simple game that was fun to play. I like the straight forward gameplay and intuitive game mechanics. The gameplay loop is also quite addictive
Nevertheless, I do some criticism:
1. I wish there was some kind of in game cursor that can help me see where I'm exactly pointing at. I often find myself aiming outside the screen without realizing it
2. Adding some music would've also made the game even more exciting to play
3. Item drops are too small to see. I often can't tell the difference between ammo drops and health drops
All in all, I had fun playing this game. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much for playing our game! To answer some of your criticisms: we wanted to add a cursor but for some reason it would slowly become off center of the player so we chose to hide it. We also wish we had time for music but, sound design is not our teams strong suit so we chose to work on other aspects of the game. Finally, there isnt actually any health packs in the game due to some complications with the code, the only way to heal is by finding the doctor. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing our game!
Ah, I must've thought that I picked some health when in reality, it was the doc doing all the work lol
Loved your game. It's simple ,yet addictive and fun. I liked how you balanced the waves and character powers. I noticed that at some points my pistol could kill in one shot, but others it didn't. If it's intentional it's really cool, if it's a bug, rewrite it to make it intentional, it adds fear and randomness to the whole experience. My suggestion would be to make the rifle automatic. I think it would burn through the ammo faster, making it more scarce. Great game guys, congrats.
Thanks for playing! Your point about how the pistol sometimes one shot and sometimes did not was intentional. Throughout the game, the zombies will slowly gain health so, depending on which wave the zombies are from they will take more or less shots to kill. One of the NPCs (the solider) also increase your damage percentage by a bit which will make killing zombies easier and faster as well.
Your graphics and gameplay definitely hit my nostalgia bone.
LoL, thanks for trying our game :D
Fun!
It reminds me of the games I used to play online on Flash! haha
The only thing I would say is maybe to prevent zombies spawning on the player (or too close)^^ it surprised me as I was searching for the NPCs haha
Except from that I wanted to join Stitchless comment on the cursor thing, but understand the reason :)
Great job
Thank you very much!! We are very happy you enjoyed our game.
That is a great suggestion, we will take note on our future jams. But the reason why we did it in this jam is because we wanted to zombies to spawn everywhere so they wouldn't just get stuck and stay there for ever. Then we added multiple spawn areas around the map and then it wouldn't get all stuck haha.
Once again thanks for the kind words and thanks for playing :D
Great potential here, I find the gameplay very fun. Well done!
Thank you very much!!
I would love to work on the game more but I don't know if I will have enough time sadly :(
Your game is really fun to play. I play longer than I thought I would :D
Thank you for playing!!
We are glad you enjoyed
Interesting game, enjoyed the graphics and approach to the theme.
Thank you very much!!! We are very happy you enjoyed our game :D
Really nice game! If you have time, please check out mine
Hi, this is our game. We are really proud of how the physics and graphics turns out. I hope you like it

Thank you!!
The game is quite simple but also pretty addicting. I spent quite a while running around and dodging zombies. It's actually harder than I expected - you run out of ammo pretty fast and oftentimes the zombies get to the ammo packs before you can. I also like how the knife makes you move faster than the guns do, so it's not totally useless.
One thing I'd add is a mouse cursor so that it's easier to see where you aim. I'd also add in a hold-to-fire function so that you don't have to repeatedly click the mouse to shoot.
Great game, I had a lot of fun with it.
Thank you for trying our game!!
We did try to add some of those features in the game such as the custom cursor, but it just started drifting and we couldn't figure out the problem. Thanks for the great suggestions and the kind words. We are very happy you like our game :D
I see a potential twin stick shooter. The knife sprite was COOL!
Great game.
Thank you!! :3
Great game! Fantastic use of theme, and just a fun little run and gun. Didn't fully understand how big the level was and boxed myself in a bit, but fun nonetheless. Maybe using arrows or other game elements to help people explore the map. Icons could represent the buffs they are intended for a little better.
Thank you very much!! We had lots of fun making this game and we are glad that people are enjoying it.
Have a great day :3
Thank you for the feedback! After finishing the game, I realized that people might get a bit confused with the map but, it was too late. I also realize that UI such as arrows could be useful for more explanation. However, we also wanted to go for a more exploration feel but, making the game feel more intuitive would also be nice. Thanks for the great suggestions and thanks for playing!
Very fun! Didn't expect myself to play for so long! Loved the art and feel of the game. Only critique is that there are some areas where you can stand forever and the zombies can't get to you. I guess we both need to look into pathfinding in our games haha!
I'm really glad you enjoyed our game!! Camping was a thing I discovered also during game development, There's a spot on the top check in table that you can just camp at xD. We really enjoyed making the game. Thanks again for trying it out!!
have a great day :D
Im so happy you found our game fun! As my teammate already said, camping is a small game aspect that we were worried about. After much stressing about pathfinding we decided that a simple walk towards the player would be better for these simple minded zombies. If we had more time it might have been nice to fine tune the map a little bit but Im happy you still enjoyed our game.
I've played ALOT of games today, but I have to say this one was easily one of the best. It's simple and exciting when you get swarmed by zombies and manage to fight your way out. I like how the guns are far heavier than the knife, which makes you have to make a decision between lethality and speed. It's a very simple mechanic, but it goes a long way in my opinion. The only thing I felt was lacking was the fact your little helpers are invincible and can't get hurt by the zombies, I think changing that would add some more intensity. A very solid submission nonetheless! Good job guys!
Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm really glad that you enjoyed our game so much! Adding health to the helpers would have been nice but, with the time we had it was something that was harder to implement. I will do my best to play and rate your game too! Again thank you for your kind words!
The game is really funny, I spend a long time playing it. I love stabbing zombies!
Also the graphics are quite good and cute,
Great Job! I enjoyed it a lot!
Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game! It was fun to make the stabbing zombie code work and our artist made some great art for the game! I'll do my best to play and rate your game as well!
Fun and engaging gameplay! Also, I do appreciate the life you gave to the environment, it was an inspired locale.
Thank you very much for playing the game! I'm happy you like it
nice graph and exciting shooting play!
Thanks for playing :D
you can take a look at my games as well if you are free :D
I just did haha
Haha I saw that the goal of the whole game is to continuously improve a colleague girl’s affection for you and finally invite her to watch a movie. I didn’t make much innovation in the gameplay, because in fact, the whole content and story are based on myself. I want to show my own story through games（and practice the dialog and inventory function learing from brackeys :D）.
Nice!! that was a very fun game to play :)
Thanks for playing our game! I also would like to say that your game is quite impressive and has nice story and overall feel!
Simple cute graphics and great mechanics with NPC. Great job, I enjoyed it a lot!
Thank you very much :)
Nice game! :) I would've liked if you could hold down the shoot button when you use the rifle, to make it feel a little more different from the pistol, and maybe a couple different zombies that behaves different to spice things up :D But overall nice job! :)
Check out my game if you have time to spare :)
Thanks for playing and for giving feedback! :)
I would like to work on the game more but this is a game jam sadly, so we had to divide everything by 200,000,000,000 hahaha
Pretty fun, one thing that might make it even better is to add a crosshair or something to show where the mouse is, I accidentally clicked out of the window a few times. Good job!
Thanks for playing our game! We actually made a custom cursor and planned on adding it in, but we noticed a drift in the cursor when you spin a ton. So we kind of removed that haha
