Overall super fun game. Sometimes it went laggy and zombies appear on random places. Also when shooting I would shoot myself if aiming to the left. Love the art and mechanics overall

Developer

Thx for your kind word

Nice top-down shooter game, with great pixel-art!

Developer

Thanks!

Hi :)

Nice game, I liked the pixel art for it. The only thing I would change would be the sound when you die, but it´s just my personal taste. It´s a nice work and I had fun playing it 

Also, please check out our game, it would mean a lot.

Difficulty is perfect, felt chaotic, great UI! Wish I could shoot through the player character, but that forced me to pay attention to my positioning. I would love to see this expanded with more levels.

If you have a friend and a controller available, please come check out our game: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-6/rate/1177717

Thx for your kinds words and will check it out

Great game! Definitely need more work on controlling system the character movement feels slippery like a tuna on ice floe!(if that sounds offensive i'm sorry im just trying to make jokes about my name D;) anyways good game prototype! Looking forward to see more of this in the future! Keep it up!


Also I would love to hear your thought and rating on my game if you interested, please give it a try!

yea the controls need to be worked. and as we said many times in the comment: it was our first game jam. we enjoyed it alot!

BTW: that game you made is amazing

Submitted(+1)

Nice work it made me feel like I was playing a classic when I was in school, had that nostalgia about it.

Developer

Thx for the kind words!

Hey nice work congrats!
I know its a very short amount of time and that you probably thought of most of these things but I like to provide feedback on the games I play:
Here are a couple notes I took while playing.

- I liked that there was a variation in zombies
- Can't shoot through player. You could try setting up physics layers so that player bullets are ignored by player.
- Zombie death animation
- Change weapon with scroll wheel on mouse.
- Pickup ammo sound.
- Have the Shotgun shoot more than one bullet per shot.
- Player Damage sound and/or knockback when player takes damage

If you have the time, I would love to hear what you think of my submission.

Yea I totally agree with what you are saying, but for our first game jam together I am quite happy with ourselves. I am the person who were responsible for model creation and I am quite new to pixel art, so I feel like I did not have enough time to make a good death animation (or any animation in that matter), but I will improve on what I can't atm.

Good game! Those projectiles were hard to dodge because they were hard to see or too fast. I got taken out without realizing it. Maybe a slower exaggerated sized projectile would do the trick and gradually speed it up. Same with the players projectiles. But all in all a good game for the jam

Developer

Thx for the reply! yea I totally agree with the sizing with the bullets, and the speed of enemy bullets, and we will see what we can do after the Jam ends.

It’s a good game. There are some small problems such as audio glitching/freezing after pressing a button, no warnings/effects when the enemy hits the player, and the player can hit itself. Aside from those problems, I think it’s a neat game. Keep up the good work!

Developer

thank you for the feedback! it is our first game jam and we are happy with our results

BTW love your game, its super cool

Nice graphics and audio. The gameplay was also nice! One thing though, I realised that I can shoot into myself, which prevents me from shooting backwards. This means that if I want to shoot the enemy behind me I have to walk around it, which is a little incovinent. The rest is great, love the design!

Developer

yea that was a bug that was not too easy to fix on the time we had left

Developer

yeah we will fix it

Nice idea! The controls take a bit to get used to, but overall I thought the game was pretty fun!

Developer

Thx for commenting. You're feedback matters a lot.

Submitted(+1)

nice! the graphics are really cool, and the game itself is very fun! the only suggestion i can give you is to make the controls less "slippery". other than that, FANTASTIC

Thx for giving us a feedback.

Very cool game, a bit more polishing and you got an incredeble game ;)

Developer

thx so much, we cant do everything in a game jam xD

Submitted(+2)

Great game! There are some optimization issues but for a jam it's not a huge problem.

Developer (1 edit)

Thx buddy

Submitted(+1)

The controls are very floaty, there are plenty of bugs, you can hit yourself, projectiles don't die when they collide with walls, enemies spawn under you, but I'm sure that if you fix those, the experience can be way better! Cheers!

Developer(+1)

thx for the comment! for many of us, this was our first game jam and it is a nice way to know what we can do better!

Submitted(+1)

Do not worry about the results! The important stuff is that you got to join the jam, especially since jams are quite stressful, congrats! :)

Developer(+1)

yea it was one stressful week, that is for sure, but a very fun one.

Developer(+1)

thx for commenting we will try to fix it.
