Shatter is a game about lost hope. You are the last person in existence up against
a world of the "infected". To make matters worse, your only weapon against them, a
trusty pistol, has only one bullet remaining. On the bright side, that bullet seems
to last forever. Once fired, you can collect it from anywhere, be it an infected, a
wall, anything.

Survive as long as you can, and remember: You Only Have One.

The game can take a while to load, so just give it some time. :)

Controls
========
- Use WASD to move around, and Q and E to rotate the camera.
- Use the mouse to aim and click to shoot
- The M key will return you back to the main menu (game over)
- The Escape key will release the mouse; clicking back in the window will focus it again.

Cool, but no source? That's a Jam requirement.

When I first entered the large room and fired... And missed... It really heightened the one bullet mechanic for me. Also nice song.

This was quite neat! One bullet? at first I thought "Too easy!" I was corrected with a game over. The collision seems a little off though :(

Music was great! I managed to miss a zombie and chase the bullet down the longest hallway in the game lol, so I added some probably unintentional humor points. Also, my non-gamer girlfriend was entertained and says she approves :P

Music was awesome. The game itself was pretty fun too, I don't know how you guys manage to make 3D games in such a short amount of time!

Lost my one good bullet...

Anyway, collision is a bit off and could use some acceleration on the enemy movement so you can sort of tell where he's heading. Other than that, good job.

Really good use of the theme. Could maybe be a little faster paced.

Dat feeling when you are surrounded and miss the only shot you got.

Cool. Took me awhile to realise I could die.

It took me a while to figure out you could rotate the camera with Q and E, but after that point it was all smooth sailing. Cool idea and a really nice mood!

The music was great! The gameplay was okay, the controls were a little messy in my opinion, but overal: good game!

Music is very nice, but couldn't fully test it as it ran very slowly on my computer.

Watched the stream! glad to see it all together :D

Nice background music. Some sound effects e.g. for firing the bullet would have been nice. But I don't like the zoomed in perspective, it's not much room for reaction when a infected is coming towards you. And sometime it's hard to find the bullet.
