I don’t get what the goal is.
The game is a bit slow
The screen transition is great.
Nice game

Developer

Thanks. There is currently no set goal and needs some more gameplay elements to keep it fun and less slow.

Ok

I really like the idea of destroying your own generator to get rid of some zombies. Good job!

Developer

Thanks! Shooting the explosive barrel next to the generator was a little easter egg that kills all zombies in the current wave, but has as consequence that your lighting will be gone too and you have to play in red emergency lights instead.

I like the overall aesthetic of the game, the 3D graphics are very good. When I first booted it up, the splash screen sound was quite loud and gave me a jumpscare, not sure if that's intended or not lol. I liked the gameplay loop, though it was a bit slow at times, and it was kinda hard to see zombies behind the boarded up windows  so I just let them come in to shoot them. Death minigame was cool. It's a good submission but I feel like it can definitely use a bit of extra polish to really help it shine! Well done. :)

Developer

Thanks :) It was certainly not intended for the splash screen to be so loud. This was my first time experimenting with a 3D shooter and it definitely needs more polish and probably more to do than just shoot zombies and fix the boarding on the holes.

Pretty cool making a shooter for a jam. The gun is chunky and firing and reloading feel nice. Cool game!

Developer

Thanks! I was focused too much on the map and making a gun took more time than anticipated.
