Game was pretty cool and fun to play. I didn't see much of a point with the main level before the Boss since I got health back for the Zombie Suit so easily. But, the zombie suit mechanic did become more interesting in the Boss Fight.

Nice animations and good ideas. Quite fun to play. The jump and punch should be more responsive in my opinion

Maxathon21 Apr 2020, 03:47

Super creative concept. LOVE the use of "Puttin' on the Ritz" and the general vibe. Some issues with the core gameplay loop since you can just rebuild the suit when you lose it... but overall incredible job!

NanoArch21 Apr 2020, 03:49

The concept of this game is cool, and the animations are great, but the controls were a bit slippery, after I would let go of A or D my the character would still slide. Other than that, this game is pretty fun.

Mecha Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde is not something I knew I needed, but I definitely did. Super fun game! Nice music choice a good game fell all around. Only wish there was a menu with the controls, as I forgot the button to enter the zombie mecha right at the beggining, and had to keep mashing my keyboard haha

I don't know if this was on purpose for the old school feel, but the movement felt really slow and unresponsive.
Other than that I liked the game a lot. Three levels with one boss fight in only three days, good job you guys. Only it was a bit easy for my feel.

Vignesh Raj21 Apr 2020, 03:51

Wow! Cool game, concept and art. I loved it. The colorful tutorial system you used was great too.

synoxgames21 Apr 2020, 03:53

Boy what a solid game, the concept is unique and I thought it an amazing game. The graphics were stunning, well drawn and it all seemed to flow so smoothly :)

bennybig9821 Apr 2020, 03:54

The art is incredible, and I lol'd at some of the humor.

LordKawaii21 Apr 2020, 03:56

Fun arcade action! Art is fantastic! Glass Joe was as easy as I remember :b

Dizzy21 Apr 2020, 03:56

I like your game! Maybe the "Enter zombie" animation is too long.

techsec21 Apr 2020, 04:01

This game is so silly I love it! Even though nothing is really balanced the mood and the style is done so well I couldn't care less. It actually made me giddy ridding my zombie and punching a weird mummy through a wall! Good Job! My only critique would be to make the background less messy and pixelated

Ranjan21 Apr 2020, 04:01

Unique concept! The variety of art is really nice. It takes some time to get around, though I guess zombies walk slowly so that makes sense. Very fun!

Shadoninja21 Apr 2020, 04:05

This was cool! I lost my mech during the Punchout boss and my character couldn't jump anymore, so I couldn't finish the game. I think the mech collection part of the game could have been explored more. The pieces were often all right next to each other. I like the game a lot!

Was the Mike Tyson's Punchout boss inspired by I Wanna Be the Guy?

Liam Binford21 Apr 2020, 04:05

I liked the concept a lot! My only complaint was that the game is pretty easy until the bossfight, and even then I didn't die once. Still, I enjoyed myself quite a bit!

TheAxe31621 Apr 2020, 04:05

Very cool and fun game! I really liked the intro sequence where you are introduced to the zombie suit. My favorite part might be how the small enemies go flying when you punch them lol. Music and sounds were nice, especially the music transition upon entering the suit.

FizzyApple1221 Apr 2020, 04:44

One of the best games I have seen yet! Everything was so good! I love the idea of building a zombie and controlling it. The execution reinforces it even more. Amazing game!

Yarl22 Apr 2020, 04:48

This game is a lot of fun to play, and the animations and art style are very funny. Nice work. Sound is well done. It's fun to think where this game could go with different zombie suits / potential hybrids in a more filled out game!

Nillard22 Apr 2020, 22:19

Presentation reminds me of DOS games. Good work, liked the mechanic. Can also say this is the first time I've been punched by Glass Joe in 30 years.

NathanT25 Apr 2020, 21:49

Whoa a libGDX game! Nice. The zombie armor was amazing. Wasn't clear on what the syringes did, heal the scientist? I encountered a few FPS drops during the second level. Difficulty felt balanced. Punchout fight was funny. Would love to see an original boss judging by the great character art. Good jam!

Really Nice, very fun! This great almost did not die until arriving with the boxer, like in "I wanna be the guy".

chaotikza9 May 2020, 16:35

Great idea.

Boss fight was cool!

Only complaint: as some people already, noted the jump felt a bit off, but the punch was great and very satisfying.
