There is only one escape from the zombie hordes, and that is the rescue helicopter. Unfortunately the helicopter can't land, and you can't reach the rope from the ground. There is only one option - pile up those dead zombies and climb your way to freedom - Although, this does mean you are RUNNING OUT OF SPACE!
So the zombie pile up mechanic was fun and created some interesting gameplay. But there where not that much difference in gameplay and the sound was a bit to loud. Nice try. :)
Controls were a bit sketchy, and I had a bug where zombies stopped spawning so I couldn't reach the helicopter :( Otherwise I really liked the concept, and the piling up of corpses was satisfying.
Ok my first thoughts were "Wtf this game is unplayable". It took me too much time to figure out how to shoot. Otherwise it's a fun game, I like the concept. The art style is not my cup of tea but it's a personal opinion. I might have found a bug ! When playing I spammed my keys and so on after dying and dying and dying. After that it looks like the game memorize how much time I pressed the a key and now it always skip the menu. (Sorry for my English)
Controls are very awkward, I kept getting stuck and unable to move properly which didn't help matters. Not a fan of the zombie theme, personally I find zombies a completely played our genre, though you did make the climbing on the corpses an interesting idea to work with the theme. Art was okay, might want to try doing a squint test on it for the next time you make a game, it was a little tricky trying to figure out was was in the foreground and what was in the background, the helicopter didn't fit at all with the rest of the art. The sound effects were far too loud and poorly balanced, had to turn the sound off after a short while. Not bad for something made in a weekend, but certainly could be improved on.
@c0nst4ntin Cheers bud. We only had 5 frames for the player animation so we're a bit stuck for controls. Totally agree though. I have since thought of a way to do it better by attaching the arms separately and rotating them alone to give us 180 degrees each way, which we could have used a mouse for. Out of time now though :(
The game was really well made, but the controls made it kinda hard to control. I liked the idea of the zombies piling up. I would only recommend, changing the controls to something more well known
@lander-miskolczi Thanks for playing. We agree about the controls, which we will probably do after the voting is over. I don't think we are supposed to make any changes to it after the submission deadline.
Pretty solid game! Would like to see some type of limited ammo so I can't just blast everything to pieces, but otherwise the only thing I have to say is that I agree with the others who said the controls are a bit strange :) Still, great job!
A really cool game! I love the art style, music and sounds were great but did get very repetitive after a while. Super fun, and very unique interpretation of the theme. Brilliant job! :)
@megalink thank you for the positive words, and kind feedback. The game was intended to be a one level game so we understand how replaying the level could get repetitive. Thank you for your feedback.
Very cool game. Killing zombies is always fun. However, I do agree with what others have already said about the controls. Apart from that, it's pretty fun. Good job!
Nice game, Love how everything is balanced! Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam! Game Link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacelab-42a
