Zack has to zackrifice himself to protect an altar and himself.

Screen1.PNG
You are Zack! Someone starts talking to you to protect their altar. Then many zombies appear. You have to sacrifice some of your health points at the altar to get better weapons to fight against the incoming enemies, but luckily also receive some points after each wave. If the zombies destroy your altar... you die. If they destroy you... then you're dead.
Let's go Zack, Zackrifice yourself!!

Great entry! Fun little protection game.

Wave 5 :grin: Like @figglewatts, nice protection game :) I really like the graphics and the music :)

I wonder why zombies walk offscreen before going to the altar ^^

@thomas-lacroix you didn't saw many weapons did you :D? I know it's way too hard to get the last two weapons and see the third enemy... Thanks for your feedback, appreciated!

Oh wait! I forgot about weapons! Yes indeed, I only saw classic zombies. I tried to go after wave 5 but I'm not good enough :sweat_smile:

Great little game! I feel like it wants a little more fluff, but I enjoyed what was here! Didn't manage to beat wave 5 :(

Great game !
I feel like it's just a little bit lacking on the "feel good" side. IMO you could have went for just 3 weapons, but add some "on hit" effects. Also I could have used some more time between waves to buy a weapon.

@yorsh You're absolutely right! The bad thing is that the last two weapons are the coolest, but no one will ever see them because the game is way too hard... I tried to make the game bigger than it should be for a ludum dare, there is even a third enemy type which is coming in like wave 10 or so. Anyways thanks for your feedback :)

Good little game! Simple and easy to follow but I think it could benefit from a difficulty system (easy, medium and hard).

These must be the cutest zombies I've ever seen. I found it to be quite difficult, especially further on, but it's still fun to try! The pixel art and music are charming.

@firebug thank you so much! I actually put too much effort in art and didn't really cared about balancing, that's why it's way too hard.

Man, this game is fun but after the third wave it becomes hard :)
And it would really help to have the waves stop while you shop at the altar.. I could barely manage to exchange my health for the altar's at times ;)

@tanis thank you, and yeah, it's actually way too hard, I didn't have any time for balancing :D
