So here's my game. It is my take on the minimalism theme. Both the art and the gameplay and control scheme are "minimalist". The game is a very basic management style game where in you must manage digging a tunnel between two houses while defending yourself from zombies. You must dig completely dig out the tunnel in order to win
The game uses the mouse for controls and thus a mouse is recommended to play. To change the action of each dude you have to click in one quarter of the screen. The Upper left corner makes the red dude defend/shoot, the bottom left corner makes him dig. The same goes for the blue dude except with the upper and bottom right corners.
The game itself is made in Flash and was made with Flashpunk and Paint.net for the graphics. My friend made the music, I'm not sure what tool he used though.
I was bored so I put the games on Newgrounds and Kongregate. Both are linked above and are exactly the same thing as the dropbox link.
Also, I would really appreciate any comment about the game negative or positive.
I really like it. Simple, yet fun. I didn't quite get the digging purpose, but, ya know, you play games to play 'em, not to win (it's fun all the same!) Ludum-Dare on! :D
Hi, I liked the idea but I think it is a little too slow paced. I think should make shooting much faster (or activated by user) while putting more zombies to keep the difficulty level. Anyway, nice work !
Nice game, I liked the story and the gameplay. It'd be fun to play it with another friend, shouting things like:"C'mon keep diggin!","No way, I got all the zombies, your turn to dig!".
This is my absolute favorite i've played so far. Everything about it was perfect for the theme. You did what so many (including myself) struggle with and that's make a complete game on a solid concept that's still fun in such a short amount of time. A perfect jam game. Lovely work.
I liked that music reacted to what was happening in the game. Some more variation would've been nice, like hitting the other dude with bullets damaging him. Keep them plates spinning!
I used the recommended mouse :) Nice bleepy music. I thought the story was funny. I generally like the management games where you can't control everything so I liked this.
The music was pretty good. The graphics were nice and the overall gameplay is definitely thought provoking. I thought it was maybe a little bit too simple and if it had a few extra gameplay mechanics it would be even better. Also the game didn't seem to get more difficult while you were playing, usually games start out easy and then get harder. Good work though.
That was really cool. The music and the concept was excellent! Feedback was a bit lacking because there wasn't zombie / gun sounds. Most of the damage I received was because I forgot to fight back the zombies :)

Anyway, nice work !
Sound was a little bit annoying sometimes.

It could use some tweaking.
The game seems to be quite balanced as well.
The music though kinda annoyed me...
Really enjoyed that, one of the best games I've played of the compo so far!
Good aplication of the theme.
