How does your game match the theme?
I imagined the "space" theme in the context where the player has to play with the space of the map with the controls of his vehicle and make the zombies run through space to be able to deliver all his packages.

I hope you enjoy!

This was a lot fun xD

I have struggled a lot with the controls at first, and still struggling but at least got a bit used to them, but the game itself is very fun to play with! I also wish there was a way to cancel the process of dropping the delivery or having to manually initiate it because I have accidentally gone into the zone and died. Hope you enjoyed your first jam, it's a really well made jam game ^^

indeed, not being able to cancel the delivery makes the process a little too difficult.

i wanted to make delivering decisive but currently it's a bit too much haha

thanks for playing and your feedback !

Congratulations for your first jam! Really nice idea and it looked very nice, a bit too difficult for me and it was hard to grasp the controls, but it's a good concept. Great job!

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing and for your review !

the controls are one of the things I worked on the most but unfortunately the game has difficulty accommodating them ^^'

but it shows me how much time needs to be spent on balancing !

Congratulations on your first game! Absolutely great use of the theme!

Developer(+1)

thank you so much !

really cool communities around game jams, it’s refreshing :)

Developer

This is a nice concept and presentation, but I feel the game is too brutal in difficulty given the control scheme, and the ease at which zombies can overrun the player. The gameboy soul is nailed quite well although incorporation of the jam theme is loose in nature.

Developer

thank you for your opinion !

personally i got a taste for this difficulty in the controls which i like in the end.

nevertheless, i agree, the level and balancing are not calibrated and balanced enough to support such movements.

done better, it would probably make the experience less frustrating.

glad you still like other things in the proposal, thanks!

Fun game! It was surprisingly difficult; I didn't expect them to make mincemeat of the truck so quickly! I found the easiest thing to do was spend half a minute rallying a large chunk of zombies at Speed 2, then go deliver the packages.

The soundtrack is quite pleasant.

Good work!

Developer(+1)

thank you !

happy to see that you played with the difficulty and the mechanics to foil the game  :) it was a good method to get to the end of this horde.

Cool idea, I really like it. The controls are a bit annoying though!

Developer

yes all this lacks balance.

thanks for your feedback !

Whenever the van hits something it can't move anymore, so it's quite hard to control.

Also how do you get past first level ;-;

Submitted(+1)

Never mind, figured it out after reading the other comments, thanks!

Developer

yes the reverse gear and the exit of the tutorial lacks clarity.. :,)

thanks for playing and taking the trouble to look for the information !

Cool concept, great graphics. The control scheme was really the only thing that made it feel less "GameBoy"

Developer

thanks a lot !

indeed, the control scheme would have deserved better integration with game boy support :)

Controls are a little difficult at first but I kind of got used to it. Original idea and good spin on the theme. Well done!

Developer

thanks ! 

the controls were intended to be a bit difficult but this probably still needs to be optimized.

but i'm glad you like it anyway :)

Submitted(+1)

controlling the van was a little hard , but it also hard in real life so no problem ;)

gameplay feels very original and art style and color palate are nice 

i just wish that you would add some sfx and music 

very cool game . keep it up ;)

(also plz check my game )

Developer

thank you very much for your review !

very strange that you don't have sound

there is music and sounds in the game :0

Submitted(+1)

:0 well ... my volume was mute XD. 5 point for music and sfx actually ;)

Developer(+1)

oops haha glad it was because of that

thank you for your evaluation ! i'il check your game :)

This game is a little iffy. For starters, when I run into a stage boundary, my truck gets stuck and I can’t move anymore. Also, I’m not sure how to end a level. I delivered the package but I don’t know how to progress. However, I like the idea.

Developer

oops, maybe I didn't make the controls clear enough :/

do you use reverse gear with CTRL?

if you are stuck in the tutorial level, I should have been more explicit about where to go after delivery the first package.

it's on the road at the top left.


thank you for your advice !
