Really nice game. The graphics are fantastic, the controls are very responsive. You have a small bug when pressing left and right key together ;) Maybe catch that in a separate "if" and let the player do nothing, but i have no idea how to do that in game maker studio.
I made it to the graveyard party or whatever it was called at the end of level 3. Died twice there, so I have no idea how much else is left after that. Sorry for not making it further.
To the level design. The march of the zombies is a little boring to play because it is a fixed sequence. Some randomization would be cool here. Also the holes in the rain of blood (i don't know if that is the correct name) were really badly placed like going from far right to far left which always lost me one life...
It was also sad, that I had to play in such a small window, but despite all the negativity, i gave you good rates ;)
Maybe you want to check our interpretation of cursemas eve ;)
I think you bring up a real good point on the randomization part. March of the zombies had no randomization while raining blood had too much randomization. The real reason the holes were so far apart was you had bad luck, cause the holes spawn is completely random!
Finding a good middle ground for randomness is tough and I will keep that in mind.
Thanks!
Awesome little game! Very polished. Good controls and super cool sprite art and animation!
Nice game, good graphics. Although the first time I died of the zombies because then you get hit the sounds sounded to me that It was possible to bop them on the head. then I checked my lifes and saw I was wrong XD
Great work!
The zombies do look very head-boppable! Maybe next time i'll have something for you can bop on the head.
Amazing sprite work!
The game is pretty fun and challenging, and the physics feel really good. The idea is simple and really well executed. The game feels really complete.
Game feels very polished, great jam submission. Love the sprites, love chasing safety from eyeballs, haunted by hopping the full zombie waves.
If you're struggling with the zombies, try using the walls!
yeah staying as far left as possible is a good way of dodging those zombies!
Nice game, beautiful pixels. Too hard for me as well, but I'm terrible at these kinds of games.
Great sprite art! I like the dark background with the bright sprite characters in the foreground, they pop nicely! I am bad at these dodgy twitch skills games though haha. Please check out 'Puma Cat' too.
Nice game! I suck at the zombie part. Haha.
