Pretty good game! I love the amount of weapons you get. I had a lot of fun trying to kill the zombies in all sorts of different ways with different weapons. I did find it kinda ironic though that a game called "you can always retry!" doesn't have an option to retry lol. It's not a big deal, just kinda funny.

Anyway, great job overall. More people should really check out your game! :)

Made me a bit nostalgic because it reminded me of those old flash zombie games. 
It was fun but my main criticism is that it was too easy. Pistol needs to have a limited fire rate, player is too fast and there is too much ammo of the strong weapons like the rail gun(which felt very satisfying when I lined up a dozen zombies and killed them with 1 shot), so wave 7 felt just as dangerous as wave 3.

Hi thanks! As mentioned in the games description, I spend the most time on creating the weapons and the general gameplay than balancing and optimizing. But I had much fun on creating it (and even managed to create it) :) Thanks for playing!

I just loled of joy how many weapons you implemented. AWESOME! I’ve noticed that the pistol is the best weapon for me (fast fire, strength and unlimited ammo) so this might need some more balancing. Did not find out how to use the barrel.

Big 'thanks' for your reply :) I had very much fun on programming them! It also was the biggest part in the jam for me. Sadly, as I wrote on the games Itchpage, topics as balancing and feedback were bit rushed or did not make it. The Barrel is a placeable object. Just use "spacebar" in a free spot (green). You can use "r" to change Front or Back placement position. Fake walls are the same.

My bad... it was a bug. I fixed it and upload a fixed file.

It feels good to move around but shooting zombies doesn't give any feedback. I can't really tell if I managed to shoot some or not.  Even a little rigidbody force or a simple particle system would be nice to have when taking damage. Different types of weapons make it fun to play. I especially liked grenades. Good job man.

Thanks for your reply :) Actually, there is a little particle system on a hit, but it is just a placeholder :S I am not very much into UEs Particle System at this point and there was not enough time to learn it for the jam :/ I had also a particle line in mind, so that you can see your shoot. But it got stock on the todos... Weapons was a big and time consumeing part of the jam and I really enjoyed programming them :)

It looks very beautiful. 
After you die you dont have a option to restart the game, but you need to go back to main menu and you start again from there.
But overall. Gj :)

Thanks for your Comment :) After Death, I had planned to show Highscores but the UI and the functionality around it didn't make it in the game :/ Time was too short at the end :S
