Pretty fun game got a score of 226. I like how the ghosts and the zombies kind of work together to kill you

I really like the music and sound effects. I also really like the character art style. let me ask you a question: do you see the zombies as destroying the land or as infecting it? When I shot an enemy if my first bullet hit I think the next ones, if the bullets would have hit the zombie, don't fly out and apply damage without hitting or maybe just teleport. I couldn't kill the ghosts without using the super power. Is that on purpose?

@madar-games Uh I forgot to say but you kill the ghost with the sword and the zombies infect the land.

It's a funny "invasion" way and good use of the theme!

I like to think of them as vegan zombies eating my crops or something
Damn ghosts :/ got me everytime
I kinda suck at it, because I don't have a mouse (using notebook's touchpad)
Simple idea, nice little guys. The colours work ok in the game but in the title it kinda hurts my eyes.
The music is cool and thrilling

@siridakis thanks yeah I agree about the title, but I was more worried about the gameplay at the time I did want to make it better though.

@planetgames thanks! Personally I thought it was really bad.

I thought the shots were not super accurate and did not know how to use the sword. Some controls would have been nice. I enjoyed the artwork and the gameplay, though.

@dk5000p Thanks for the feedback. It was my first time trying to code a gun that would shoot to your cursor I will try to improve on it next time.

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good.
Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

1112 was my high score! Good entry overall, having to juggle the ghost enemies and the ever-encroaching zombie horde played really well. The sound was also nice, as was the high-contrast nature to the art.

That said, it was held back by a few bugs I noted.

- The first hit on a zombie meant that successive bullets didn't actually fire, but hit-scanned.
- I sometimes got stuck on green edge tiles and had to move sideways inward while strafing away from ghosts, which was frustrating.
- The UI for HP and special attack was not visible in a "restart" game, so I had to quit and re-load.
- While not a bug, I didn't notice the question mark button until my 3rd run, so I had no idea that the blue bar was a special attack. Maybe including this as a normal menu item under "How to Play" would be more obvious.

Again, nicely done on a fun entry! :smile:

@bloodyaugust I feel bad for you... Also am I allowed to fixed bugs possibly?

Really nice, simple execution of the theme that plays solidly and works well.

@yamiog I'll settle for #2. ;) Only game-breaking ones, unfortunately. But there's nothing stopping you from creating a post-compo version!

This is a really strong entry! The difficulty curve feels so natural. Keeping it simple with a really fun core loop is definetly the way to go! Looking forward to seeing what yoh do in the future!

Easily one of the better games this LD! Great job!!

Pretty good but personally i think the ghosts are a bit too hard to avoid
comenoha17 Aug 2018, 05:13
I loved the game as a whole, although I agree with @HIM that the ghosts make the game a little too difficult I think. I really really liked the implementation of the theme. Well done!

Wait, there is a sword ?

This game was pretty fun! I could see this expanded on as an arcade-style game.

Fun to play and well polished with details like screen-shake. The gameplay is quite standard but the shrinking of the level based on the enemies made it much more interesting to play. Good sound effects and good that you added some music! The difficulty level was perfect for me and I also liked the progression o increasing difficulty over time.
