That music. Those sound effects. Fantastic.

I also loved the shotgun pumping mechanic. I don't think I've ever see that in a game, and it felt good. I think it's a perfect fit for a gritty zombie shooter.

I couldn't get the gun to fire even after pumping. Overall, very funny and interesting premise. Good work!

Great work on the zombie groans. I had the same problem. Pumped and pumped but could never shoot (oh, that sounds so wrong). I found the doo doo I wanted, but no bullets.

Next LD I want to see "Desert Rust: Pat Chenko vs. m'fn Chuck Norris" :)

So to fire the weapon you have to:

1) Load shells individually by hitting the 'R' key 8 times
2) HOLD space to chamber a shell, not just tap it
3) LMB to fire, goto #2 until empty, then goto #1

It's pretty tricky...

The visual effect of each individual shotgun pellet hitting a zombie ghost was very impressive and satisfying.

I think the pumping requiring the held keypress is causing the problems. But yeah, just hold the pump!

The sounds are fantastic!!! I laughed so hard!!!
I like the tricky way to shoot.. It give me sensation of how difficult is survive in the game! Good concept!

Really nice, up to point of combat then death/death. No gun fire at least no bullet and no zombie death. Like the "tension music" !

Cool game, but I'd like some more feedback on shooting!
