The game itself is a bit awkward, and combat is not as fluid as it could be (IMO). But the graphics are awesome and sounds are cool.

Nice game. =)

Graphics are consistent. Dual-stick doesn't work well on PC, which is why you recommended the XBOX pad. I would recommend if you could have an option to just face the direction you move in. Also, I couldn't see any evidence of damaging the enemies.

I suppose we couldve put in such a feature but I just wanted to be able to walk backwards and kill zombies infront of me. When it comes to evidence of damaging the enemies we relied 100% on sound. We will remember that next time. Thank you for your comment, kburkhart.
Thanks, floorman.

Digging on the graphics, combat is a lil' rough but once I played for a bit and got a feel for how it handles I quite enjoyed it. Good job!

Nice graphics and sounds, as said before - combat could be more fluid on keyboard, but after some time you get used to it.

Cute graphics but as someone else said, unless you have a controller the keyboard controls feels awkward :/

I try to survive. But damn pixel zombies killed me and ate my brains. Now I'm zombie too :( Nice game. I like it!

I didnt realise the keyboard controls were bad till now because I only tested it with a controller. Thanks for the feedback. Its awesome to see so many people playing our game. Thank you.

I got overrun by zombies. Great work. Autoattack if you press space would be nice.

The music is moody. The graphics are reminiscent of Sword and Sworcery / Hyper Light Drifter (a great comparison for a simple and effective style).

There is a lack of visual feedback for hitting an enemy / getting hit, though the audio does a fair job of articulating this.

Overall, good groundwork for a solid survival-based combat game. Great job!

AAAAAA! This is super awesome! xD

Good effort, only the combat is a little unresponsive - as mentioned before, visual hit feedback would be nice in addition to the sound effect (like particles, or the zombie stumbling back for a moment). Visuals are cool though, I like the animations. :)
