- Their lack of memory makes them unpredictable beware!
- Breakable, weapons and armor have a low durability.

The game is really funny and well balanced!
I really like the colorful art and the general concept

I noticed a 2 bugs: (screen attached)
1_ after a short time, all zombies start to walk in walls and get stuck, (and so, I can backstab they pretty easily)
2_ there is a zombie head in the win screen, but when clicked nothing happens.

thanks for making this!

Pretty fun game!

Its pretty fun. Would be better if the enemies didn't stack in the borders though.

@memel06 Hey, thank you for your feedback ! I know for the AI, i lost my brain during the event i need more time to fix that :)

The button works only in Windows version, Congratulation for your win ! you can watch the ending:

It's a cool game, bummer that enemies stack up at the borders. But it's fun up until then. Also good job on animations/visuals! I can see this an online .IO game :smile:

Good job!

Great graphic, it's seems polished :) Unfortunetly AI is not perfect as @Memel06 mention on screenshoot.

Nice game, but the zombies are very slow and at the end you just have to walk the whole edge to kill the buggy wall-stuck zombies. Otherwise a really nice idea.

I love the graphics, really cool!

A little music would have been nice.

I wonder why that button only works on Windows? What do you do in the code at that point?

Overall a solid entry, great job!

@gonutz @hadik Thanks for your feedback ! :)

Sorry for the AI, the tiredness carried away my brain :(

For the button, Unity's video player doesn't work with webGL so it launch the video only with Windows

I see, you try to play an actual video. You could have programmed the slide show yourself but I guess you know that and did not have the time so no biggy :-)

​Lol took me a few tries, but I beat it
I like the agar.io style minimal control scheme too

didn't understand what was happneing with the weapon qualities for a while mainly because the weapons are the same color on the ground

looks really nice and was fun :) great entry fellas

Haha this was a neat idea!! I feel like it could've done with some more SFX and maybe some music or ambient sound to add to the mood, but other than that, awesome!

I do believe some ambience would have gone a long way for this title, but it's a solid start that is wide open to be expanded upon. Good art style and a cute end!

Fun game, but the coward zombies ended up at the bottom of the screen.

Awesome- thank you for adding a link to the ending! Played on web. Noticed the same issues as others. I think it would be cool if it was a little faster- though maybe I just want more levels? Thanks for the game! Great job!

Really beautiful game ! I love the design and the sounds are simple but effective.
It is enjoyable to play and would have been cool if we had more levels or more zombies :)
Great job guys !
jcwelgemoed24 Apr 2018, 17:26
i love the concept. good take on the theme. the graphics are really cool and the story as well.
just a few things, the weapons only generate in one corner and most of the zombies get stuck at the bottom of the page.

Good job making a complete game. Nice graphics. Quite easy to finish, but I bet you could add a level based system with increased difficulty, more weapons etc, next weekend. ;)
Ben Pearson25 Apr 2018, 13:39
Looks pretty neat for a start. Well done!

Fun game. Looks good too. Reading through the comments it seems you already know about the AI issues. I definitly feel you there. I did a Battle Royale style game too and had so many problems with AI movement that took pathfinding out for a just random movement system lol.

If you want, check out my game too. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/slime-battle-royale

I really liked the game! It was a lot of fun, albeit a bit short, but that just left me wanting more which is always good :D
