Hi @windwalkerranger, that er - feature - should be fixed now, thanks for pointing it out. V annoying not to be able to beat the game when it's deserved ;)
Thanks for the awesome comments! My favourite minigun scene of all time has got to be in PREDATOR when Mac tries to get even for Blaine's untimely demise.... "Contact!!!"
@ocmu Yeah I agree it's a bit difficult to tell sometimes, the game started off much brighter but I felt adding the gloaming darkness added to the atmosphere at the expense of clarity- I tried to strike a balance but it's not easy in the time ;)
I particularly enjoyed the sound effects. The gun and the zombie groans were excellent. The dark setting worked quite well. You put a lot of thought into this and it shines through in the game.
@badlydrawnrod Thanks! The zombie groans are my 6 month old daughters little noises slowed down in Audacity, high five to fellow father -daughter team!
Great entry! The slow movement and windup of the gun really added to the intensity. Made me realize that a minigun may in fact NOT be the weapon of choice at a zombie infestation. Who knew? ;)
Haha, that was awesome! Took me a while before I figured out not everything that moved was a zombie.... :D Oh well, I guess a bit of collateral damage is expected when the zombie apocalypse is nigh! The machine gun is perfectly tuned!
Took me four tries until I figured out what I was supposed to do (hold down the mouse to shoot - there's a delay), but FUN once I got the hang of it. Had to refrain from shooting everything that moved and only shoot the zombies - ha! Scored over 800. Great eerie music and gruesome sounds - lots of atmosphere. PS. Time lapse video of the process is a nice touch.
Really nice shooter, and the pixel art is top notch! And it's challenging with all the human/zombie mixing as well. A complaint would be the theme usage is pretty weak, but other than that it's a great entry for 48 hours!
I think there is a bug perhaps with flash runtimes... When I click to shoot I hear an electronic typewriter and nothing happens. The arrow points towards some units and when I get close they kill me. I think that the gun is supposed to shoot but it doesn't. I bet this game is really fun when the gun works :D It looks great for 15 hours of effort as well.
Pretty fun top down shooter and the wind-up/delay before firing your minigun as well as the slow movement to simulate walking with a heavy piece of equipment was a rather nice touch.
Like the ida since it creates some nice situations where you have to shoot zombies while they are close to humans. The grahpics, weapon and sound are pretty nice. The gameplay is not much, there is only really one thing in the game you can do and is not particularly hard. Would be nice with some boss or some other thing to add to the gameplay.
Really nice game, very smooth. I love the sound effect of the gun when it starts! Lovely mood, the gameplay is great too, though you could have added more enemies/bosses so it's less repetitive, but I enjoyed the game anyway, good job! :D
<3 for zombie games. I like the idea of only having a minigun that roots you. I'm really bad at this one though, I think my best score was like 95/1000. :P Works really well for what it's trying to do, only niggle I have is that the tree hitboxes might be a little big.
I like the graphics and the mood. At first I was like "easy game, I just have to kill everybody", then I figured out that not everyone was a zombie... Hard game (those zombies are daaaaamn fast), but very fun! Congrats on putting this in 15 hours only!
BTW, what kind of Flash framework did you use? Flixel?
@drludos thanks for the great feedback! Yeah I had trouble with getting the "humans turn into zombies" thing across- needs a little cut scene I think. I used the "Axel" framework by Arkeus
Great game! I like the concept, especially the weapon warm up is nice. After seeing your post on the front page, I expected a much harder game. It's challenging to save as many people as possible, but it's not too hard to win. So I can't understand why people would quit after a few seconds without trying again. But I noticed a similar behavior with my game, many people played less than 10 seconds. Another thing I have to agree with your analysis: The space on the right hand side of the level seems wasted indeed. Maybe you should work with multiple zones/a grid and activate the movement of people and zombies only when the player enters the zone.

Too bad for those innocent civilians I murdered...
