Pretty Nice!

I enjoy the loop of building a vehicle, killing some enemies, then acquiring resources to build an even better vehicle, but I think it takes a bit too long to acquire resources. Having to go though another 15 waves to get any upgrades makes it a much less appealing prospect than if, for example, you were rewarded with something at the end of each wave. There's also not enough strategy in playing out the waves to make that engaging on it's own.

I like the clean aesthetic but you need a more varied background for the movement to feel significant, as it is it feels like you're just stuck in place a lot of the time. A more dynamic camera would help with that too.

Overall it has the bones of a really fun game, just needs fleshed out a bit more!

Nice to hear!

Great game! Really enjoyed playing it. It would been better if interactions with zombies we're clearer, 'cause right now it takes couple of minutes to realize how they works and how to kill them effectively

Nice worked out game! I played until I got to wave 8. 

Visuals are very simple to look at not bad, tho enemies could have a little rework. The music was jammy hah good not a usual type of music I go with but good in the end.

I had trouble with the movement, I felt like I couldn't control good on where to go I was just drifting away.

Really good visuals, they are so charming. But i couldnt play anything on the zombie section because it freezes when the zombie collides with your building, so would not comment on that. 


On the bulding section is not visually clear what is your current selection to place, and there is no feedback to where are your going to place your current selection. The fact that a i have to use just my mouse on a building style game is frustrating, hotkeys for selecting and rotating can fix that feeling. I really couldnt understood how am i supposed to make my building, a tooltip for every component would be very helpful.


Overall, the presentation is great.

now it stutters when the zombies appear xd

oh, and also it feels very strange to move, i tried a build of only the red thing and the player, and they end up only floating. I tried the game again because it is visually pleasant but the functionality feels very awkward

Going to fix! Thank you very much for feedback! I forgot to delete some code, so, it could lag, but idk. I have idea about tutorial, I think
