Sola Mors ("but death is certain", Latin) - is an arcade game with an original game mechanics, exciting gameplay and stylish graphics.
- control a group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies; - collect aid kits in order to protect the group from an infection; - become an enemy for yourselves, because zombies - are kind of projections of the survivors, which follow the path of a player; - compete with your friends in multiplayer via split-screen mode for up to 4 players; - choose your actions very carefully and quickly - the zombies repeat your actions; - always be on the alert, because to become infected in this world is extremely easy.

Enemy repeat your move, great idea. The art and animation is great. The atmosphere is masterly done. But the time limit is too short. It seems picking up the kits is quite challenging itself.
Good game, concept needs to be re-evaluated though! Dont't get me wrong, this game has potential but you need to polish mechanics as well as objective (time countdown doesn't do any good for the game ...) Visuals are good. I would wait with the steam greenlight thing, maybe try out some new ideas (back to prototyping). Having said that, I think you can be proud of your product!
Cool game. The game shows some promise, and I'm glad to see it's on steam greenlight. If the world were a bit bigger with maybe a minimap and more space than just the roads it would've been awesome. I just don't see how this relates to the theme you are athe monster, but nice work anyway.
The graphics are really nice ! I feel the time limit is unnecessary and when the crate spawn behind the camera it's a bit awkward. And I didn't really understood how the ennemies behabed because I think they did not entirely followed my path. Maybe you could shine some light on this ?
@Kerdelos they do not follow the whole path of a player - they do it from the previously taken aid kit to the next one (the concept of checkpoints). Yes, we know that there is a difficulty with locating the aid kit, but the time limit was strict. That's why we simply did not realize the indicators on the screen (like arrows or minimap)
Very atmospheric, but I couldn't get so much fun out of it. Maybe I got it wrong. Seems like it's running around gathering stuff, avoiding enemies and dying too soon, because of the time limit. Pacman seemed to do the job better. The graphics, sound and mood are ace, though.
Aaaaaaaarggh!!!! I tested it on single player mode. It´s fun, but it hurts so much when you cannot reach the kit ¿It´s me, or is it all as random as it seems?
Great mood! Amazing graphics! I kept dying all of a sudden for no reason so i didnt enjoy the gameplay that much haha but i love the mood and graphics a lot!
You shouldn't put the pdb files (debug informations) in the zip. That's 140MB out of 270MB that isn't needed.

At first I was confused about how it works. But then... Holy shit, it's the most original thing I've seen in this LD! One of my favorites. I hope you get greenlit.
Interesting idea and nice graphics. However I don't see the use of the theme anywhere. Also it's abit annoying that you sometimes just die right as you spawn. Some sound effects would greatly improve the mood.
Very good graphics and music, but I missed the sound effects and there are some bug in the movement mechanic. But overall the game is very beautiful and interesting =)
Really interesting game, though sometimes there isnt enough time! Love the graphics though. I included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Jf2dZyQpNFE

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.
Good graphics, but the gameplay was overall boring unfortunately. A non-square map and more interesting zombie movement would help, and a more relaxed starting timer would help get adjusted to the game mechanics (it was rather difficult to get started only to die in 5 seconds).
Looks so pretty! But it's not very engaging. It took me 4 mins to figure out how to play it and a further 2 mins to get annoyed by the fact that it takes more time to reset the level than die.
The game looks pretty good and polished. I think it lacks of instructions. It could be a good idea if you add some kind of objective far from just surviving :).
The time limit is very uncompromising. Overall, good job!
