I made a video of your game. Excuse my sloppy gameplay. DX
Thank you!
Fun story and I really liked the art style. Well done with the inventory system and combat!
Such a hilariously tongue-in-cheek premise! I love how much the clown-theming permeated all the items and vehicles in the game. I found the inventory to be very impressive and almost Resident Evil-esque. I did struggle a bit with the control scheme, though. Having to stop moving to aim and shoot, while on brand for a survival horror, felt too clunky. And I often found my weapons missing when the zombies were right in front of me. But if you work on ironing out these issues, you will have an incredibly impressive piece of work on your hands!
Thanks for feedback. We should have just blocked the movement or slow it down when aiming instead of waiting for player to stop. I guess you are taking about diagonal shots, which often miss. They don’t work properly and probably require a few more positions/sprites for the gun.
A very impressive game, didn't realize I could kill the zombies.
The inventory system is a great idea and the comic panel intro scene was cool .
Phenomenal job!
Great game! Really enjoyed working my way through this one. The graphics are brilliant too and the game was super fun. Amazing work!
love the crafting system! i liked having multiple weapon types, it shook up the combat a lot. love the mc's design too and the art as well
Guys this is brilliant. Might be my favourite so far! Huge fan of the graphics. Only thing I'd suggest changing is the hammer is so slow to use haha. Stressed me out timing the hits but I guess thats intentional as part of the challenge. Either way big fan of this one.
Thank you, appreciate your feedback on hammer, we will keep that in mind!
The story telling is out of this world.
Awesome game! The art is amazing (Escpecially the cutscenes). The gameplay is fun, bonking zomies with a rubber hammer. I especially really like the inventory. My only feedback would be to do more with the sound. Its in no way bad. But its just not at the same level as all the other aspects of the game. Overall I really enjoyed this!
Awesome game, Keep it up♥
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed our game!
I loved the cutscenes! So much soul in the arthur fist and other references.
The shooting coming from the end of the water/can gun was an interesting touch and kinda' made it feel more "resident evily" if that's what you were aiming for.
Really well done entry!
Thank you, indeed few our mechanics was inspired by resident evil games, such as inventory, shooting, etc. Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice game, the zombies are cool.
Awesome concept. Never realised how much fun it was to bonk things on the head with a clown's hammer!
This a pretty good game. I like the idea of a clown trying to fight in a zombie apocalypse, it's an original idea.
that's a great cut scene at the beginning, and I am glad you have a check to make sure player has the hammer before he goes outside. lot of work put into this one. :)
Pretty fun game, i died a lot xD Loved the art style, and once i found the inventory some stuff got a bit easier. Love the more silly theme!
Oh this was fun! Never really considered it but concept of a clown in a zombie apocalypse has a lot of potential. You guys nailed the visual style and the flow. It was a fun playthrough, although a bit short (but that's for the future updates to expand :D ), and even managed to die couple of times lol. That's mostly because I failed to knowledge that tab was the inventory key, but goes to show that you can get pretty far by just running. Ok ok jokes aside, good work on this! And of course best of luck for the future updates, I think it's a concept worth expanding upon ^^
Interesting backstory and very fun. Good job!
Real funny game< like it
I like your insane ideas for this game. I think the idea of fighting off the horde of zombies with water baloons and clown hammer very funny and interting at the same time
I'm glad you appreciated our idea!
