This is pretty nice. You did a great job on the graphics and particles. The audio worked out well too. I did get some stutter out of the sound at times, but it's nothing that affected gameplay. It's also kind of a small window by default, which made it hard to fully see your nice artwork, but luckily that's easy to resize since it's HTML5. Nice work overall!
Great shooting action! Only I think this game needs a better goal. Right now you can just sit in one spot and patiently shoot everything that spawns in front of you. How about making the player run around to collect things?
The music, the thunder and the graves create a nice creepy atmosphere ! The graphics are not bad, overall really fun to play. Maybe a little too easy ;)
Great job setting the mood, I love the soundtrack. What it needs now is some progression of difficulty. The zombies don't seem to be hard, but I guess you could add a timer.
The thunder, lightning and rain was cool, and the splats of the enemies and player death too. I would have liked to see more intelligent enemies and some more weapons!
Liked it. Actually fun, made me waste a few minutes without even realizing.
- The details were awesome - rain and particles. Are those default to ImpactJS or did you programmed them by yourself? - The bullet trajectory was simple and effective; you could shoot from the other side of the screen, calculating to hit zombies while escaping the place.
You should definitely work on improving this game.
Here's some things you could do:
- Spawnable Power-ups/Mutators/Whatever. They could both benefit and downgrade your progress - Different behavior for the zombies; Like some could run after you, others could jump... You could even copy from L4D or somethin - Other weapons/equipments; grenades, machineguns... The sky is the limit. - Co-op; I think 4 to 5 people playing at the same time (cramming the keyboard, I know) would make a great hit. - Multiplayer; if you're feeling brave, mess up with websockets, rev up a server and turn this baby into a huge thing!
Pretty nice graphics and a good game! I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series if you'd like to take a look http://youtu.be/ln7f84GPnPg
Cool graphics, particles and mood. The game lacks a challenge (i am guessing time issues) but I can totally see this game becoming an arcade (every time harder survival kind of game).
You made a really nice game. I like the pixel effects very much. But it would be nice if the game was a bit more challenging. Nonetheless a great start, you should work further on this.
Nice and crisp action but no challenge. Increase the spawn rate over time, make ammo limited, or do something to make it so the game will eventually end. I absolutely loved the rain effect!

Congrats!
But visuals are nice. So if you add bonuses and weapons, this game become standard survival shooter.
The rain and the splatter effect is really nice.
alexdantas: The particles were made by me (all code in the "source" zip is), but Impact makes it really easy to move things on the screen...
FYI your game was featured on this blog post:
