Real cool idea honestly. Music and art were cool.

Notes:
I didn't even know your goal was to kill the zombie. I ended up racking a high score due to me just running and getting so far away. It is a lot more beneficial in the long right.

As soon as you kill a zombie a whole horde appears and they are fast, making it more difficult for you to run away. It would have been since if the shoot mechanic was more rewarding like 2x and 3x have longer ranges and more damage. It would have also been nice to add a kite mechanic so that if you choose to shoot it pushes you back when you fire to give you more time to avoid the zombies.

Overall nice work on entry!

Thank you so much for the comment, it's really more beneficial to just run, since the zombies where spawning when the player shoots, I tried to make it more appealing by giving points when you kill the zombies, but I should have made this more clear and necessary for the player to keep going, thank you again for all the feedback.

Not a bad idea but it seems like the game needs a bit more tweaking to feel engaging. When the controls said WASD it took me a while to realize that it's not the standard WASD format but more akin to a rhythm game where your buttons are WASD. Some more feedback on whether the button you pressed was correct or not would be helpful. If you do too good the parallax scrolling breaks. 

That being said, I don't know if you made the art and the music but they're good. Good job for submitting, looking forward to see you improve! :)

Thank you so much for the review, it was my first game jam and at the end I was running against time to submit, maybe in the future I'll update the game with some improvements.  :)
