I like this genre quite a lot, normally. Run around and shoot is fun in itself. However, I would rather add more weapons and extras instead of more levels. The levels feel quite the same, different weapons and power-ups give such a game substance. Maybe I'm missing something?
Not a bad little Game Maker game. I'm confused about the bullet physics though: when I fire a second shot, the first bullet disappears. Also, the bullets go through the enemies and hit the second (third, fourth, etc.) zombie, so I found myself lining them up and taking six or seven down at a time.
Ok now I can play it. The concept is good but there is a LOT of work to do: you need to work on the core mechanics, adding weapons and using the change world mechanics more than this I believe. Improving graphics and zombies IA. Also, add wasd support for movement :D
pretty good start definately has potential to be really fun. So far your the only one but me whos used gamemaker check out mine if ya like: holiday nightmare
First: Installing. Doesn't Gamemaker allow for a simpler way to distribute the game? If not, well, it's ok, but a simple executable (or even a web version!) would be really nice. To the game: The enemies are slow. That's ok, not every game needs to be you-gonna-die-hard. The projectile is slow. That's good. There's only one... that's a mechanic, prevents bullet spam, so it's ok too, but seems strange at the beginning. There seem to be two levels and I came to the second one by going to the cake (?), but in the second one there was no cake, that surprised me. You can get stuck in walls, that's bad.

Having to install it isn't good, though
Bummer after spooling up my Windows VM for this and sitting through an installer. Couldn't you make a version that runs on other platforms?
Please export to .exe and then compress it to a .zip. Having to install the game is a hassle.
