The music is really cool! I really like the concept, but I feel like the character is too slow. I would like to see this kind of game with more time to work, it would be great. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Im already working on a patch to make something not impossible and fun out of this idea, i will release it after the rating phase

Submitted

I liked the story in the beginning and the art, but sadly my the zombies always ate my tree when I was away.

Overall I liked it

Submitted

This is a cool story I must admit you can write a fantasy book around it.

As for the gameplay - if you let the player move around most of the time, give the player some speed so it won't feel tedious.

Well done!

Submitted

i liked art, music and idea. 
But it was boring and i didn;t know when and were zombies will show... so they just showed up next to tree and ate it? 

Reallyi i have patroled so near the tree that it shouldn't be possible for them to pass me ;( 

Developer

Hi, I think I figured out why people keep losing even though it seems that there is no zombie around. So in development i had this one zombie to test the zombie behavior and whenever i wouldn't use it i placed it a bit under the map, and i think what happened is, that i forget to delete this zombie so that he sometimes comes out of the earth and eats the tree. Im really sorry for that bug. I will make the best out of it though, the zombies name is now steven and he is a stealth zombie which was mutated using  mole genes. (cause everyone knows, when its part of the Lore its not bad game design xD)

Submitted

yeah im sorry too :) 

but it happens during jams!

Gritting to Steve!!

Submitted

real cool game but i think it will be better if you were faster

Submitted

This game is easy to understand. For me, it's a little slow too and I don't understand why zombies eat tree. Haha.

Developer (1 edit)

the Zombies eat tree because the zombie apocalypse began in a laboratory where scientists tried to genetically modify a virus. And while doing that they Also added Beaver genes to a deadly virus to make it more water resistant. The next night a scientist sneaked into the facility and stole one virus to sell it to a northkorean terror group. This one virus was the one with the beaver genes. Unfortunately though the terrorists immediately used the virus and set it free in New York city. The virus spread instantly and after a short while the whole world was infected. Unfortunately the Virus had the side effect to reawake the ones who had died to it. These People are the Zombies and the beaver genes caused them to eat all the trees they would find. Thats why the tree in the game is the last one on earth and the zombies are trying to get this last tree now too. 

Thanks for the inspiration my game has LORE now lol

Submitted

I loved this bonkers story of zombies trying to eat the last tree!!! I also loved the art and atmosphere, the game icons were immediately recognizable (water, ammo, etc) and the idea of venturing out for supplies while also keeping an eye on the tree is a really interesting gimmick. My only issue is that zombies appear way too suddenly from the opposite side and the player doesn't move fast enough to be able to protect the tree for longer than a couple minutes. A neat little game of chicken with zombies, haha. Great game!

Hi thanks for the feedback, im currently working on a patch which i will release after the jam rating period. This patch will include for example sprinting for faster movement and a warning when zombies get near the tree. I hope this will fix some of the issues that the game has currently 

Edit: the patch is finished now i will upload it as soon as the rating phase ends

Submitted

Interesting concept. I didn't play it for very long (~5 mins), but I liked the game anyway!

It seems a lot of people find it slow, but I though it was fitting for the "deadland" theme ^^

Only major problem: the player doesn't know when a zombie has spawned, and/or is eating the tree, making game-overs feel random. There could be, for instance, a gauge to show how much the tree is being eaten: if the tree's HP go down, we know there's a problem and must go back immediatly.

Good job nontheless for this submission!

Developer(+1)

wow a person who thinks the games speed is good? are you a bot xD? The idea with the indication is very good, if I update this game sometime i will definitely do that, thanks for the feedback

Submitted

A b-bot?! Wh-what do you mean, fellow human? I, too, enjoy fun activities, like actvt_id_47:video-games.

Glad I could provide some feedback!

Submitted

Too small a camera size for a game where I need to see so much. Would have worked better as a top-down survival shooter/ base building game. Also, dubstep? Really? Haha. 

Developer

yes, dubstep xD

Submitted

Reminds me of the flash game Nuclear plant. Gameplay was a little slow for my liking and the intro was long. Good concept and game dude.

Developer (1 edit) (+2)

Im not sure but im starting to think that many people thought the speed was to slow and the intro was to long XD 

i really have to make sure that my next is game faster, thanks for the feedback though

Submitted

very nice muzic. the gameplay it s a lil boring but overall asolid game

Submitted

Aside from the intro being long, I found the movement to be too slow. I did enjoy the game though and the concept is good too - nice job!

Submitted

I really like your style of game and think the idea is original.  

Submitted

I wont reiterate everyone elses points but the game is really cool, the art really fits the mood and the music is very hype!

Submitted

Overall a nice concept, could do with a bit of polish. Maybe an indicator or sound could play when a zombie is getting close to the tree? The music and art are also very nice.

Developer

thanks :)

Quick comment to all the feedback (btw thank you everyone for your feedback): The game seems to be way to hard and the dialogue is very long so for everyone who is stuck, you can just press P to skip the dialogue this will also water the tree everytime you press it 

hope I could help everyone who is stuck

(also im very surprised that there is not a single person in the comments who just wants to promote their game wtf)

Submitted

Great work! like the concept. As was said before, the dialogue in the beginning could be sped up quite a bit

Submitted

Nice Idea.  liked the art and the music.

It would be nice to be able to skip the dialogue at the start. its a bit long.

The player movement seems a bit slow and the absence of animation when you carry the water is a bit bothersome since you do that a lot.

Developer

thanks for the feedback, like i mentioned before there actually is a way to skip the dialogue when pressing P its a leftover cheat code from development, im also really sorry about the absence of the carrying animation but i just hadn't enough time for that

Interesting concept the movement seams really slow. cool music.

Developer(+1)

thanks for the feedback :)

Submitted

i think you should add the ability to use the arrowkeys to move instead of just having to use wasd and i wish there was a way to skip the very long intro text.

Developer(+2)

thanks for the feedback, funny that you mention it because there actually is a way to skip the intro i accidentally left a cheat code from development in so you can press P in order to skip the intro, the text will unfortunately stay but its skips the intro and you can move freely. 

I hope this helps you

Submitted

thanks
