Hey ! Rid the city of its zombies!

Use your gun to kill the walking deads (Spacebar)

But be careful not to shoot any cityzens!

Hurry up! Follow the red arrow.

Controls : Left/Right - Up to jump - Spacebar to shoot.

Made With: Love. Game Maker, Real instruments, Photoshop, Ableton Live, Bfxr...

Listen to the original soundtrack !!

#### Sadly, no animations of jumping and running... I was too busy to headband...
#### Also, i spent too much time in the music making / recording / mixing ... But i'm happy with the resultat ! :smiley:
#### Ideas : More Levels // Somewhere where we can see which stage are we // Animations // A final boss...

The music is incredible. You really did this on your own? :) The game isn't the most inovative one in the world, but it's fun. Good job :)

simonhutchinson4 Dec 2017, 17:26

Downloaded the Mac version, but was told it's been damaged and moved to the trash.

xclementxauthor4 Dec 2017, 17:29

@iluvatar : Thanks a lot ! Yes i did by myself... I'm not so good about programmation... So i did my best for the music. Glad you like it !!

Iluvatar4 Dec 2017, 17:31

@xclementx You would get 10 stars for music from me!!! :)

xclementxauthor4 Dec 2017, 17:32

@simonhutchinson... I'm gonna upload another version of the game... Hope it will be fine for u ! Thanks for the comment btw :smiley:

xclementxauthor4 Dec 2017, 17:33

@iluvatar Thank you so much ! I'm gonna check yours as well !

soyrandom4 Dec 2017, 20:32

This game looks nice. Tell me when you make the windows build

Josue5 Dec 2017, 14:25

That music is eargasm lol, good job! Loved how much you accomplished within the timeframe. The gameplay is very basic but the mood of the entire thing is spot on!

DrFallos5 Dec 2017, 14:27

good entry! maybe some green tones would make zombies more zombie looklike

xclementxauthor5 Dec 2017, 14:29

@josue Thanks a lot ! Very glad that you liked it ! Next time i will do my best about codings and animations :smiley:

xclementxauthor5 Dec 2017, 14:30

@drfallos, like i said, maybe i spent too much time on the music... thanks again !

saviourgaming5 Dec 2017, 17:40

The music was just awesome. The game flow could have been better. But overall it was fun. Congrats!

Sanguis5 Dec 2017, 17:42

Only guessing from video (do not have MAC) however looks good, and music is awesome - if you made that guitar sound you rock! :))

xclementxauthor5 Dec 2017, 17:42

@saviourgaming Thank you so much !

xclementxauthor5 Dec 2017, 17:44

@sanguis I'm looking for someone with a Game Maker windows version for a build ! Thanks for the compliment!

Reality Blind6 Dec 2017, 00:21

Nice graphics and music ! :)

xclementxauthor6 Dec 2017, 00:24

Thanks a lot @reality-blind !

Nia6 Dec 2017, 00:24

Looks really cool! I look forward to playing it when you post a windows link. Watched your youtube video and enjoyed the gameplay.

Abilean6 Dec 2017, 00:34

hard but fun. too bad you can't just shoot down all the people with the zombies... haha.. but that would take the challenge out of it.

LHouyez6 Dec 2017, 00:37

What an incredible soundtrack , you made it yourself so really GG !!!

Sanguis6 Dec 2017, 06:43

@xclementx This person is there, however have GM2 and can only export to Win systems if you share your source files I will do that in no time ;)

maskinmask6 Dec 2017, 10:03

great game,I love pixle!!!and music is awesome!I also use gamemaker.

xclementxauthor6 Dec 2017, 10:20

@sanguis !! You are my hero ! Can you send me an email to cemailestcool(a)gmail.com ?? I Will send you the files ;)

Rombus7 Dec 2017, 02:10

Yeeahhhhh, awesome music bro. Drums are programmed? if so, what SW did you use for that?

Congrats on the entry! :D

xclementxauthor7 Dec 2017, 12:41

I have some troubles with my computer... Sorry guys.

@rombus : Yeah ! I used Superior Drummer 2 and the Evil Drummer soundpack. I would love to record drums, but i'm not good enough to blastbeat so fast !! :smiley: Thank you !

@saviourgaming - @reality-blind - @nia - @maskinmask : Thanks for your feedback ;)

@abilean : I will make a special level with only zombies :D

@lhouyez : Thats explain why the game is so short and basic :smiley:

SaFrMo7 Dec 2017, 15:36

Nice work! The soundtrack really makes it stand out, that's some fantastic work for such a short time period. The gameplay is pretty difficult and could get repetitive, but the mix between jumping sections and combat ones works. Great work for such a short timeframe!

xclementxauthor7 Dec 2017, 15:45

@safrmo Thank you so much for the feedback :smiley: i'm glad that you liked the music!

Steing7 Dec 2017, 17:17

Great music, and i loved the colours you used !
You did very well in such an amount of time, great job !

sbarrio7 Dec 2017, 17:48

Man, this is hard. Rocking music anyway!

xclementxauthor7 Dec 2017, 18:36

@steing @sbarrio Thanks to both of u !

Marc Grabow10 Dec 2017, 02:27

Fantastic music - maybe you could try to join a game jam team next time and take care of music only whilst the others do art and programming? No disrespect to your skills, I think you did a great job in the time given, but adding your music skills to a team could turn out to be a fantastic game!

xclementxauthor11 Dec 2017, 11:16

@marc-grabow thanks ! I know that music is my main strength, but i was in a team in my last 3 LD and the games were unfinished...

So i decided for this LD to make something on my own. :smiley:

Akryllax11 Dec 2017, 16:32

Leaving this here until windows build...

Minemes11 Dec 2017, 16:40

Nice game and really good music ;D

xclementxauthor11 Dec 2017, 16:43

@akryllax I'm doing my best for it... Its complicated...

@minemes Thanks a lot !

Ayushman11 Dec 2017, 17:16

@xclementx if the Gamemaker studio version is 1.4 then I can help for making windows build(as I'm on windows 8)... If you are interested mail me @ [email protected]

xclementxauthor11 Dec 2017, 17:22

@ayushman I have an GMK file... Can you open it ?

xclementxauthor11 Dec 2017, 18:10

@ayushman Thanks for the Windows build !

xclementxauthor11 Dec 2017, 18:17

@soyrandom / @akryllax / @nia n ... Windows build is out!

1gres11 Dec 2017, 19:18

Is fun, but is frustrating that the bullets hit twice!

Marc Grabow12 Dec 2017, 00:01

@xclementx haha, fair enough :) Never been in a team for LD before but I always finish my games (Well, sort of :D). I guess staying on task is easier to force upon yourself. Hm. Never thought about that.

professor12 Dec 2017, 01:43

I played the Windows build and thought the game concept was interesting. I'm not sure what was going on with the bullets, but it seems that they would go through multiple targets, so I could never really progress in the game. No matter what I did, the bullets would always go through the zombie and hit a citizen.

xclementxauthor12 Dec 2017, 09:02

@1gres / @professor Hey guys, i'm really sorry to hear that... It's seems like the WIndows build is really bugging. As you can see on the gameplay, the bullets are working fine on the MacOs version... I'm afraid that i have to delete the windows build :pensive:

Ekilibr12 Dec 2017, 21:11

Nice little characters art style, and nice music as well (great job on that).
Regarding the gameplay, I felt like the ennemy spawns were randomized, which was a bit frustrating when I wanted to progress through the game.
Counting the ennemies vs bullet shot in order to don't hurt civilians was a hard thing to do also :)

Anyway, you achieved a game alone in 48 hours, and well done for that!

xclementxauthor13 Dec 2017, 12:44

Thank you @ekilibr ! I spent too much time on the music ahah
