Very cool idea
Interesting mechanics. Graphics are so cool and the gameplay is fun. It just needs to be a bit more polished and perhaps the difficulty should be improved; the zombies are pretty slow, easely detected and they don't deal enough damage imo. Overall good submission, keep it up.
That was the best game i played in this Jam. i Love it. can you please make a full version. (i made it to the helicopter) i gave 5 stars on everything this game was sooooooo fun to play.
WOW! I didn't expect you to like it so much! If I see that there is a lot of interest of course that I could make an improved version!
Good idea, with two characters back to back. :) The ambient sound is great. It keeps you in tension. Great game!
Reached that helicopter, it was fun :) Those red eyes in the dark are pretty cool, but I wish the light circle was bigger, there is just too much black space on the screen to me. Liked this "far-near" approach to the end goal.
This is a really great mechanic. Idk if you came up with it but I haven’t seen it before and had a lot of fun with it. I also liked the hotter/colder design of leading the player to the helicopter, that works really well. I think the map is procedurally generated? It seemed like the end was in a different spot last time which is a nice touch.
I do feel like it was a little easy. I didn’t even take damage my first time playing, and the zombies died so far away that I actually thought they were spiders. When I got to the lit up helicopter I was like “whoa there’s zombies in this game too.” That’s easily balanced though, I just think having them take a few more hits before dying would be good.
All in all really great game that fits the theme well. Thanks for sharing. My game is linked below if you want to check it out.
Yes the map is procedural. It's always a different play, you can reset the game with 'end' key.
This was super interesting! Played great!
Very nice game, I felt the excitement as I was getting near the goal but I unfortunately died without getting into helicopter. Our games are similar in some way
Cool concept! Got my blood pumping reloading and shooting the hordes. The explosions were a nice touch to thin the herds.
The reloading and switching mechanic is very nice ! Great game
Good game, this top down shooting mechanic works really well.
I wish the "you win" would at least wipe the other objects so I don't have to watch my character die, but other than that great game.
I really like the switching mechanic and good explosions. Solid!

Very solid entry. Everything looks finished and game is overall playable. Good job!
Nice! I quite like the concept (reminds me of Army of Two). Audio is nice (could have used some movement audio) and the zombies sometimes seemed to walking away from the players rather than hunting them. Overall it is a great implementation.
