I really, really enjoyed this. Quite confused at first, especially as why the exit was blocked and what exactly I should do (until I realized I could shoot them through the window). But this game would feel right at home on an arcade cabinet . The art style is cohesive and stands out and I loved the music! Well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it.

Took my time but now I finally played it. What can I say? Awesome! I really liked the social commentary (now I regret that we didn't add something like this ourselves) and the music (not a fan of electronic music in general but I think that this theme would sound great if played by a rock band).

Keep up the good work

Developer

Thanks for your Awesome comment!! 

I'm glad you enjoyed the game and got through the ending. and I will definitely add some rock music and various songs to match the different levels I plan to make  when I start to expand this game ;) 

Thanks for playing ^.^

I had fun blasting zombies! The distraction mechanic worked nicely

very nice shooter! very impressive for 2 weeks!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Nice one, this is the best of the action games I've played so far. I'm a huge fan of top down Robotron / Smash TV type shooters.

I got to level 7 before my circle strafing all went a bit pear-shaped. Loved the zombies wandering off and leaving you to go for a walk and reflect on what you've done. Top notch stuff :) Maybe throw in another song or two, the main theme is cool, but I think I heard it loop perhaps a couple of times too many.

Developer(+1)

Wow Thanks a lot!!, I'm really glad you liked it, thanks for your supportive words.

And about the song you are right, the music actually was added the last minute and I didn't put much thought into it. but when I start to do the rework of the game(after the gamejam ends) I will definitely add more music.

"Reloading"...

Great little game, on brief... I think I won as I got out the exit??

Played well, liked the throw the gold mechanic.

Solid little game.

Developer(+1)

Yes you did win and you saved your soul ;)

And the "Reloading" was my own voice lol,

Thanks for your kind words and thanks for playing.

Giving Hotline Miami a run for their money.

Developer

Lmao. Thanks for playing and for the funny comment.

Solid game and nice art/animation! Movement felt good and gun also felt nice to shoot with. Just need to add more content e.g. more levels/enemies and weapon types, and it will be great! 

Also the mood I'm getting is more of an adventure vibe with the song+visuals, instead of survival (I'm not sure which one you intended it to be)- but that's just my opinion. Good job!

Developer

Thanks, I will definitely create more content for this when I start expanding the project after the gamejam.

And you are absolutely right about the mood it's not survival.  it's kind of a mix of both. due to the ending I planned, beside the survival vibe  I wanted an adventure vibe too

Thanks for playing.

Submitted(+1)

This game looks really nice, well done with the graphics. I really like how crisp the animations are! Are these premade assets or did you throw this together during the jam? Well done! The movement felt good, maybe a tiny bit slow? I gave up after round 4 just because it all got a little repetitive. With a little more polish, this would be a pretty complete experience. Good job! 

Developer(+1)

You gave up too soon mate, after round 6 it gets crazy and after 10 total mayhem lol. But nevertheless a big thank you for playing and giving feedback.

I'm actually thinking about doing a whole rework of the game and turn this into a co op game made with my own art assets.

and here is the link to the assets I used in case you want them:

https://opengameart.org/content/animated-top-down-zombie

What I did was changing the shirt color of the zombie to make a stronger and faster type of enemy lol (blood zombies as I like to call them lol).

Submitted

Ahhh, premade assets. You should put asset credits in your game page description. I thought you made them otherwise :P

Developer(+2)

I actually did put them on the credits page in the game menu.

Submitted(+1)

My bad! I didn't go back to the main menu after playing! Thanks for letting me know :)

Developer

My pleasure mate, Thanks for caring.

"Reload!"  It remembered me "The house of dead"  that I played in the Arcade when I was a teen.  The phrase was the same with the same type of voice!  Good work!!

Lool thanks for playing Munsa. and  believe it or not that is my voice.

You get 5 stars for mood. However clever we think we are, sometimes we have to be reminded of what is important. Yes there were bugs, but I don't care. The visuals were excellent, the music worked and the game is memorable. Thanks :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your kind word, I'm glad you approved of the message .

And yea there are some bugs but I mainly focused on bugs that break the game and mess up the experience but I will do a rework on this project after the jam and this time it's gonna be way better.

Thanks for playing.

Submitted

A cool top down shooter! The punchline "at the end" of the game was great :D

Developer

Thanks, Glad you liked it ^.^

Submitted

That's pretty good, and I reallly like the way you approched the theme.

only the movement controls was messing me up a little and the reload button I wish it was 'R'

Just my opinion!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks I'm glad you liked it, Reload button was actually "R" at first when I was building the game but when moving around I felt like it wasn't quite efficient because would be hard to move right with "D" and reload with "R" at the same time.

And I see you are a man of culture as well...another top down shooter with a message. thumbs up.

Thanks for playing.

Great game, really enjoyed it - it's good to see the top down shooter come back, I sorta missed it from the 2000's. The only thing I'd say is that the music didn't fit in with the game, but other than that it was good! :D

Developer

Oh Sorry that you didn't enjoy the music. yea I really like top down shooters. ^.^

Thanks for playing.

Developer

Update: so I have fixed the continuous firing bug( or at least I hope so lol).  sorry to everyone that encountered this issue and thanks for giving me feedback on this matter.  and I would love to see more of your feedbacks. 

Submitted

Interesting game. I felt a bit trapped in the house for a while as i didn't realise i could shoot through the windows at the zombies. Then the barriers broke and they all came in :D. I had fun shooting and surviving for a while. 
I read bellow and can also report i was firing when game ended, so auto fire was on through the exit sequence. 
Great job delivering something with an message behind it as well as a fun game.

Developer

Glad to see you enjoyed the game and got the message. Thank you for the feedback, since I am a noob at itch.io. I'm still having trouble with using butler for updates lol.  currently watching tutorials on how to use butler.

Thanks for playing.

Submitted

I held on to my gold as long as I could, it was fun! I also experienced that continuous fire bug at the end. One improvement I'd make is to add health bars to the barricades so I could prioritize where to protect.

Developer (2 edits) (+1)

Thank you for the feed back. I'm actually working on the continuous fire bug to fix it and also learn about how to upload the update with butler. health bar for barricades would be considered as new feature I guess. and we are not allowed to add new features :(

Thanks for playing.

Fun old school style of gameplay.

Ending was a little weird, but otherwise overall well designed.

Adding in a global leader board could make it more competitive.

Developer

One of the tags for this game is actually "Weird".  I'm glad I delivered lol.

Actually I might expand this project into a  Co-op kind of a game and a leaderboard would be a good idea.

Thanks for playing.

I enjoyed this... Was pleased to see you added the red shirts for a more tougher style of gold Zombie. I saw a sign for the exit but could never leave until I died at the end and the zombies left me. My gun was on continuous fire after I died too, very minor bug maybe?. Great Stuff! 

Developer (2 edits) (+1)

Those red shirt zombies or blood zombies( as I like to call them lol ) was added in the last day I was a bit stressed about it lol.

Thanks for the feedback I will look into the continuous firing bug.

Spoiler Alert,

And that exit door is for the awareness deep down in you,  and sometimes it does come with a price ;)

Thanks for playing.

Nice game!  I was a little confused on what my goal was during my first playthrough.  I kept trying to shoot my way out or leave the hosue through the windows.  

I loved the effect of throwing the coins. That was so satisfying to watch a swarm of zombies go after the shinies.  So much more interesting than the usual grenade or rocket launcher....
