fun game, I got 8th place. a little slow paced and it ramps up in difficulty from 1 to 283794 20 minutes into the game for no reason, but I enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for zombie games

It took me a second to realize that I could move haha. Played for the first like 3 minutes standing still but that's my bad for not reading lol. I had fun playing this! As I progressed and there were more monsters it was pretty satisfying being able to knock out a bunch at once with the upgrades.
Killed all the creepy bois, until i didn't... Fun game!
I agree with @Alimen6, a boost in movement would improve the intensity and add to the overal chaos. You could make the speed boost stackable, less effective and permanent; Make people find their optimal speed. Oh and I liked the sound design, really got me in the zoneeee.
Good luck!
Very cool idea!
The enemy design is very cool, and you have quite a large variety. It feeds pretty well into the mutation theme, which I like a lot. Overall the aesthetics are very well done, I have no feedback here!
Gameplay wise, I agree with other comments. It could've been cooler if the game was a bit faster paced. At the start of the game it feels a bit slow, since you can't move too fast and finding enemies takes a while. I could sit comfortably in one place without moving up until about 3k score, at which point I had to start running, and then I noticed how slow the player is compared to everything else. You can maybe explore the player's upgrades a bit more by allowing them to get upgrades that aren't only centered on your rifle, such as faster movement speed, more health, etc. It might even be cool to give the player character some visible mutations if they do get these upgrades!
In terms of sound, I feel like some sounds are great and others are a bit tiring. The "score" sound you have is a bit too metallick-y and bright, which tends to fatigue the ears, especially if played repeatedly. You could use some more "wooden" or opaque textures instead and less harsh transients for this sound! The music was pretty cool and I had fun with it.
I feel like you did a very good job with the game in general. With some more polish you could have a very addicting game!
I love the gameplay this one definitely had me playing for a while. There are quite a few enemy types so the game actually has A difficulty curve and the artstyle looks alot like a flash game which i love. I wish the player character (and some of the enemies) was faster though, because it's a bit sluggish.
