Hey people. This is our first LD entry as a team :). You are a guy who ran out of food and water in his anti-zombie bunker and decides to face the zombie apocalypse with just one bullet. Luckily, it's not a regular bullet - it will orbit around the crosshair and you can kill countless braindeads with it, but it can also kill you if you're not careful.
Use WASD for movement and mouse for guiding the bullet.
We started almost 24 hours late and obviously didn't manage to do everything, the game is far from being finished, but it works. We'll be releasing a fixed and finished post-jam version in some near future.
What's done:
-Gameplay, zambies, blood - all the basic stuff
What's half-done:
-Zombie spawning is screwed up (you'll probably have to walk to the bottom edge of the screen to make new zombies spawn) -Some hitboxes and animations are a bit sloppy -Bullet behavior is not perfect (coliisions with obstacles, etc). -Sounds could be better
What's not done:
-Hero and zambies have no legs (and no animation) -Zombie types -Intro -Doesn't matter, it's not there, maybe in a post-jam version ;)
You totally rocked me with this. It'd would have been nice to see even more gore - especially on player death. Good twist on the arena shooter mechanics, to suit the theme very nicely! Some constraint on the camera offset so I can always see a min distance behind character. I shot myself to death more than once :)
Nice game! It was pretty innovative to have 1 bullet circling around the cursor, making it both an advantage and disadvantage too. However, I hoped there was a goal or something to run at. Anyway, this game was fun and I managed to survive 3 minutes and killed 100+ zombies! Good game!
Great entry! Good mood and gameplay. Arcadey and Fun! Followed the theme very well. Had very few issues. One of them is that at first i though the game was just the first screen and i waited for a while for waves of zombies to come. Then i understood that I should be moving around besides controlling the bullet.
Really like the graphics in this game. However I don't really see how the gameplay or the idea could be made to work. Currently bringing the character only give a risk of death and no advantage.
wow this is a difficult game, but skill based all the way! At first I was a bit dissapointed, I kept killing myself with the bullet an loosing the game before it had even started.....but Once you really get a feel for how the bullet works you can do some really awesome things combining how you move around and how the soopa doopa magic bullet works. The only thing that let it down for me (and this is more of a personal thing) is that Im both fed up of and not keen on pixel art. But as pixel art goes, this fits the game.
oh and everybody needs music like this in their games!
High five fellow Zombie LD'er! Love your interpretation of the theme, makes for a seriously challenging game. I really liked your environmental detail, the stacks of tyres, the motel... The Zombie schtick is there in full effect. Love the zombie art as well. It was beyond my skill level though - really wanted to explore more but kept shooting myself, doh ;) thanks!
Really fun! Nice use of theme. I'm not sure if the font was drawn like that or if it's a case of badly scaled anti-aliasing, so i won't judge that. I did notice the hitbox for the bullet needed to be better, because the bullet went through more zombies than it hit. -Flatgub
Simple concept well executed. Graphics and music fit the atmosphere well, my only complaint is a lack of diversity. The fact the the bullet kills you is a nice touch.
Good use of the theme (that bullet is the best friend you could hope for in a zombie apocalypse), lovely graphics (even without the legs) and solid gameplay. The bullet guiding mechanic felt really slick and fun.
I lasted almost 3 minutes and took 100 zombies to hell. :)
Good graphics and sound and a cool concept. Collision was a bit tricky but makes sense the hitboxes were only their heads! Great work for your team's first entry too!
Awsome little game. Really enjoyed it but wish there was more tension. Maybe if the zombies agro radius was larger then the tension would be better. otherwise loved the idea, art and audio.
Very cool, I had a hard time controlling the bullet though:( I feel like if this were two-player, one player controlling person and one player controlling bullet, I could handle it. But trying to do both at the same time is not easy. I last about :12, and kill 2 zombies. lol.

Very fun, and i like the detailed world.
Small bug - music doesn't loop.

- It doesn't fit the theme.
- It doesn't even closely resemble the theme.
- The window frame was way too small.
Doesn't "you only get one bullet" count? awesome use of the theme to be honest.
