That was my first LD :) Popping out was a game about running around in an office and shooting zombies. I planned more functionality and a more depth plot, but ran out of time. Next time, I'll know, what to do better. The release is very buggy, crashes sometimes and suffers various glitches. I hope, that I'll find the time to release a patch the following days.
WASD/Arrow-Keys to move Space to shoot Q/Escape to quit
Update I I downgraded from Java 8 to 7. If the game didn't work for you before, it could now. Be sure to have a more or less new Java Runtime Environment installed.
-The gunshot SFX is pretty brutal... :( -I found the game pretty boring (lack of gameplay and diversity) :( -Yet another zombie killing game... :( -Don't give up though, this is a nice effort
Do you have the latest Java-version (see above: Update I)
@Magicolo Im not happy, that it ended up like this. I planned more features, but had a clear time-management problem, so I had to release a minimum-playable-version. At least Im proud of myself, that I released SOMETHING. I certainly wanted to give up some hours before the deadline, because I had no enemys nor a working movement system nor the door-mechanic.
The gunshot sounds were far too loud, the game was interesting, did really do much out the first room? I realized you could shoot things through walls, was this intentional?
Certainly a good first entry, and, as you say, you'll know what to do better next time. I hope you enjoyed this Ludum Dare and that you'll enter again in April.
To leave the first room, you need to make at least 3 kills, which will turn the door from red into green. Shooting through walls was not intended, but I had no time left to fix it :(
This was also my first LD. Nice work on your game. The gun shot sound was a bit much and some bullet graphics would have been nice but overall good work.

I rather liked the gun noise - it sounded good.
