Woah, that is intense! The balance is really well done, it is non-stop action, whether you're on the hero side or the zombies. It's also very cool to have a boss, several weapons, and even different kind of zombies after a while! I did not pay attention at the bars on the top left, I couldn't read them anyway in the middle of the fights, but I still manage to survive anyway. Overall I had fun playing this, well done!

Developer

Thanks :) I tried to balance more the zombie mode with this post-jam update

Fun game! The switching between zombie and player is a fun mechanic. I wasn't sure what most of the UI (except for the health bar of course). I think the zombie part went on a little to long, as the player had a machine gun making it pretty tough to live long enough to get close. I liked the variety in weapons though! Overall great entry!

Thanks for the review, be sure not to make the player too op :)

great idea! liked the mechanic of switching control between the player and enemies, i was gonna do something similar and decided not to the last minute lol, the art looks good but the UI needs some work, its not clear what all the bars mean for a while. maybe just a fake loading screen with an explanation of the ui can help. apart from that, it would be a bit better if you made the sprites a bit bigger. overall i really enjoyed the game!

Developer

Thanks for the review. I'm working on that :)

the icons make it much clearer!

Game is super fun to play! really like this dynamic where you change roles. Only issue that I have is that zombies are really weak, maybe some kind of  ability in order to get closer to player or something similar! Overall I enjoyed to the max!

Developer(+1)

Yeah I know, try using the gun-zombies to defeat the player by dodging the bullets.

Thanks for the review.

Wow Orango, seems like you added a beautiful work to this fabolous website. Fits perfectly to the decided theme and your game was the definition of perfection. #Trump2024 - Roger Parker

Great game, i can see that you woked hard for this game jam

A lot of stuff happening in this game :o It took me a while to understand the dynamics with projectiles and powers, but once I understood it was perfect!

This is a really cool interpretation of the theme! I only wish for 8 directional movement ;)

Great game!! I found it a little bit difficult while you control the enemies, but that's probably my bad. Great job!!! :D

Submitted

Really funny game, my only issue is that i dont see the theme of the jam in your game

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for the review but the theme is applied as you play as the zombie instead of the player as it should be. You constantly switch modes when the warning sign appears (after 15s of gameplay) or you defeat yourself. I don't understand what do you mean..

Fun game, intresting mechanics, just one thing I don't like is the movement. Would really love to move diagonally. All in all great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the review, I know, the diagonal movement will be fixed in a post-jam update. I'm sorry 😐

Jesus Christ that gorilla is no joke ahaha properly messed me up, I genuinely enjoyed the concept here of playing both sides and having to think about how you leave the shooter baring in mind you're about to become him. It's an interesting take on the theme. Would've like to have a way to tell the ammo apart from the model a bit better but honestly the fact that it is hard to tell makes things difficult in a nice way. Overall a fun submission great job I'd like to see you develop it further!

Thanks, I'm just working on an update with all those suggestions in the comments, feel free to follow me so you get notified.

This is a pretty fun game with some special intentions and decision put in, such as adding more tactical aspects to it by allowing players to have rather op weapons, which may backfire if the roles are reversed! That, I appreciate. The swapping was not that clear at first, but by paying a bit more attention I got it down.

Replayed several times until I've met gorilla

Interesting concept, and lovely design.

Would be great if switching was lore explaining. It may be new good rogue-like game

Submitted(+2)

that's a nice game! would have been nice to have different projectiles for each weapons but otherwise it was fun

Despite being featured on the cover art I forgot about the big ape and it took my by surprise once it appeared :D

The game is a super crazy chaos at times and it took me a while to get a grasp on it, but it was a fun and challenging experience. I really liked the different weapon types and the constant switching kept things interesting, although I felt like the AI is really overpowered with its accuracy at times. It took my a good while to do any real damage as the zombies. 

Also on a side note, the first time a zombie pulled out a gun a laughed hard and it reminded me of this meme a lot:


Developer

Thanks, very funny meme. Yeah the AI simply calculated the angle and shoots in that direction so if you just turn around the player you can easily dodge the bullets. Glad you enjoyed the big gorilla :)

I like the color contrast here. Maybe a blob shadow below each character would be nice. Gameplay also was nice and has a certain amount of hook. Good Job!

Feel free to hop into my game as well, and share your rating and comments if you have the time!

Developer

Thanks! Sure I will play yours asap

Very nice game! I love how the shooting patterns of the different guns were exploitable both as the shooter and the zombies, since you can dodge some of the guns' bullet patterns as the zombies.

Played on stream! See the video for timestamp.

Developer

Thanks , I enjoyed your stream :)

I really like the concept. Even though many games had a similar concept (including mine), I feel like your game does it really well with the switching between player and enemies during combat. Gameplay is fun (I didn't exactly understand what some of the bars represented as it was not clear enough in the game but still had a blast playing). Great job overall!

Developer

Thanks for the review, I haven't got the time to put some icons (will do after the jam) but the bars are for HP, explosion shooting cooldown, restore health cooldown and score to boss. The orange bar is for the ammo
