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!

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
I had fun blasting zombies! The distraction mechanic worked nicely
very nice shooter! very impressive for 2 weeks!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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:

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

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....
