Great mood! Gameplay seemed pretty straightforward, is there any more strategy to employ? I'm also not sure if the zombie kill counter is correct - it seemed lower than what I'd managed to kill (or maybe I'm missing a mechanic?)

The game is pretty simple and reminds me old sega stuff. Honestly the game is pretty boring because it hasn't much variety. Move speed of character is low, so you couldn't event make some strategy except spamming spacebar.

But you did the game anyway, and there is a good base for further upgrades and development! Great job!

the music was well done. overall I liked the style but it lacked a little gameplay wise

Cool game

Feels a lot like the old beat em ups which is cool, but I really struggled to get much beyond about 30 zombies killed. I tried a few different 'strategies' and nothing really seemed to change anything as long as I was punching. The rage meter is a cool idea but I'm really not sure what to do with it in this game.

The fact that you can't punch while moving made the rage meter a bit tricky to use. Once you get enough zombies, they start climbing on your head, so you can't punch them (although I think they can't punch you either). Not sure if that was intentional, but it did fit with the "being overwhelmed by zombies" theme.

Really liked the rage meter. Was pretty satisfying to take down huge hordes of zombies by punching them at lightning speed. Gave me a Street Fighter 2 feel.

The movement was a bit weird. It was quite slow going up and down, but if you moved at an angle you gained a speed boost. I think more mobility would have increased replayability a bit.

Overall it was pretty fun to play!

I will do better the next time. Next time I will try to make the graphics on my own

Nice little simple puncher game! My strategy was to keep punching and move forward slightly to cut a path forward, and then go the other direction when at the end.
Got up to 68 zombies that way. Would have liked a bit of diversity in moves or enemies tho.
The music had a good drive to it!
