its one of coolest games that I have played this days
Enjoyed this very much!
A darkly themed game with retro pixel graphics - sign me up!
Well done!
A fantastic entry! This totally fits the theme and the concept has very interesting aspects. The powers you can add are all enjoyable to have and can work together, which is not common for a jam entry.
The pixel art looks great, the music is a good fit too. The overall level of polish and juice stands out. I love the art direction you are taking these days.
Keep going like this! Your content is always top-notch, and this game jam project is no exception.
This game is fantastic. Super fun. Polished. Satisfying effects. I beat it with 1 health remaining and had to quickly put a corpse explosion in the correct spot to make it happen. Felt so good.
Great job!
Has a really fun gameplay loop and everything feels very polished. I like the chaos that ensues after some time and the overall frantic pace of the game. Fantastic entry!
Amazing game, great all-round. Only nitpick is that the cursor looks like a corpse and my dumb brain keeps running to it.
A bit of a strange game — even after finishing the tutorial I wasn’t quite sure what was happening on screen…
But I still managed to beat it with 15/20 health left. Lucky me :)
I really enjoyed this game! Creative mechanics, nice visuals and the tutorial is a very nice touch, overall just a great game! I could also see this as a fun coop game. Only thing I would change is the input from R to Shift but that's just my preference. Well done!
Very cool and very unique mechanic! Love it.
Fun game loop, really cool color palette and pixel art, nice bit of juice on player interactions. Got a bit confused on where my player character was, and it felt quite hectic understanding what the powerups did in the heat of battle, but I could see it being very fun and strategic as an expanded game. Well done.
Really good and unique game!!

enjoyed watching the development of this game, enjoyed your vids, and most importantly enjoyed the game, your work is very inspiring to me!
Very great game! Also I watch how u make this game from stream. The best part is UX and tutorial this is so hard and u dont know before u dont make one can u tell me how u learn to make that good tutorials?? I enjoy the game soooo muchh btw!
Great entry, as you always do! It's super polished and really enjoyable to move around and hear those juicy attacks! Sometimes I lost track of the player character in the middle of foes and allies, and even the mouse haha. A bit of a color scheme difference would make this perfect!
This is an impressively clever take on the theme, using a loop of death and rebirth to create a chaotic tower defense-esque game is very inspired. It's not especially difficult, but I think that's to the game's advantage, especially considering that a final victory condition does exist. So you can kinda just mindlessly watch your zombie army grow and consume all, which feels great because of how spot on the game feel is. I do have an issue with the controls tho, with the sorts of motions that the game expects my hand to make. Moving with WASD and doing actions with space and R resulted in my hand making this really awkward almost crab shape which really started to hurt my wrist as the game got more hectic. I wonder if consuming corpses could've been a right click thing, and picking them up and placing them down could've been a left click input. That way your left arm isn't doing the entire brunt of the game's interaction.
Other than that though I do need to stress once again that this is a stellar entry!
I loved this, it hits that exponential progression curve that is so addicting
Wow this one is FUNNNN. There is such a nice level of polish on this too. Really well done!
Top notch! A bit busy visually, the enemies and my troops pretty much just blended together and i tried to picked up the mouse cursor as a corpse way too many times lol . Definitely the most complete game of the jam i've played thus far.
