You only get one coin and one tough decision to make. Explore the possibilities and see where they lead you!

This is my first LD compo ever. I have tried to participate on several occasions but I always had to study for exams or do university work. Now that I graduated I can finally participate.

I guess you can say I succeeded already in the sense that I correctly estimated the time it would take to make the game. I read that many people just drop out because they have big ambitions at the beginning but they fall off short on time.

It was really fun making the game and I learned alot along the way in just two days! Definitely looking forward for the next LD!

Prepare yourself to smash some buttons really hard :) . The shop prices are a little unbalanced. I played until i got the shotgun for 50000 coins, now my arm hurts...

Fun idea but grinding took away some enjoyment

Button mashing fun. Thanks bro. Here is something you should fix. You can get infinite money by holding down left in the lobby and holding x.

Nice pixelated graphic. Everything works fine just that the weapon is a little bit too expensive xD

Haha, did you really think I would press "x" one million times?
I just opened the Chrome console and gave myself one billion coins XD
Interesting game overall. The lack of audio really bothers me, tho.

Fun and interesting, needs a bit more polishing and could be a great game!

Bit too much grinding but the variety in gameplay certainly helps!

Cool, kinda remembers me of Candy Box!

Yeah i agree that 50000 coins are too much for the shotgun, i quitted before reaching that amount, but i had a good time

Good game, I enjoyed too much!
PD: I've spent all my money on food the first time... Fail xD

reminds me of cookie clicker, theme use not really strong cause you can just go mine more coins. BUT, great job making a complete entry, congrats on graduating.

Haha, at first I thought it'd be a game about tough life decisions, and was really surprised xD
That kinda made the theme loose but a lot more fun!
Not enough time to get the shotgun...so I went out to get the zombies with a gun, so that was hard :P
Anyways, though there were bugs, like the zombie sprites having corners visible, and doors activating even without reaching them, this was good for a first entry :D
