The visuals are absolutely fantastic. The sprite animations and the lighting effects are all really cool. The music is pretty good as well.

The gameplay feels a bit under cooked though. I kinda felt like I was just running back and fourth and mashing the shoot button until I eventually couldn't keep up with the zombies. The upgrades added a bit of strategy but it mostly just made the aforementioned running back and fourth a little more efficient.

This was a fun take on a classic game. The awkward controls definitely added to it. I enjoyed some of the level design ideas as well, like having to go over a jump in order to get one of the pages.

I rated and commented on it. It was a pretty cool game.

There is a good risk reward feeling when it comes to deciding between using your ores to upgrade your drone (which is essential) or saving them up to get out of the level. I often found myself risking running out of battery in order to get more ores before going back to the ship, (which is cool). The game really forces you to develop a strategy to get through each level and I could see myself spending a lot of time trying to beat it (I've only manages to get to level 2 so far). Overall it's a really interesting game and a great interpretation of the theme.
