Signals of the Dead is a Vampire Survivors-like in which your weapons are transmitters signaling waves at specific frequencies that damage zombie brains. You play as a scavenger in a deserted town, cobbling together weird signal gear to keep the hordes at bay.

Rules:
- The game features an auto-attack system, where the player will attack at fixed time intervals.
- Defeating an enemy drops XP that has to be picked up to level up and improve your gear.
- At each level up you get 3 random options to choose from, which can be passives or weapons that stack together.
- The game at the moment has 3 weapons, with each one having a different area of attack, and a few passives skills
- Defeat waves of enemies to get the highest score possible or until you finish the game (10 waves in total, around 5 minutes to finish it)

Controls:
- WASD to move
- Enter to select option at level up
- Alt+F4 to exit

This a solo entry where I did everything on my own. No AI or even publicly available assets were used (excluding the water tiles because I was in a hurry to fill the map before the deadline :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:).

Somehow managed to survive 5 minutes, although at the end I thought I died cause the game pretty much just reset out of nowhere. Still, it was really fun. After about a minute I had a million zombies chasing me and I was trying to lead them away from all the pickups so I could get to them. The graphics were great, the audio was well done too. It would've been better if WASD could've been used for movement. Also when I exited full screen on the web version inside of Ludum Dare it got really small for some reason. But nonetheless I am nitpicking here, you made an excellent game. Well done!
