Zombie Broom by alex31016

[raw]
made by alex31016 for LD32 (JAM)
You wake up in a lonely corridor and your only weapon is a broom and unfortunately is not a magical broom :( Can you survive?

If you play the web version, please wait while game loads, I couldn't optimize.

This is my first game for a Ludum Dare, I hope you like it, I didn't included all the features I wished but I think is ok.

This was made with Unity 5 and some assets from the store.

Points on giving me a rather unconventional weapon that is literally the brush end of a boom while locked in a small room with a zombie.

It's hard to tell if I actually land a hit on the zombie (until they die of course), and the camera doesn't help when I accidentally walk past him. However, the mood is definitely good with the lighting, post processing, and the audio.

Unity player crashed. Seemed to be a problem with lag at the start of the game. Was on a mac.

Same here, on a mac and lag made it impossible to play. Not your fault though.

Great mood, but the gameplay felt a bit boring. I just kind of spammed my attack at the enemy and then moved on to the next room. Some more variety would be nice. Good work though!

Unfortunately it appears to be too repetitive since you're constantly moving to the same room, fighting the same one zombie (with no clear indication of any increase in difficulty) but I do like the humour of using the broom to fend yourself plus the atmosphere you've set is pretty much on point.

Great take on the theme,could use more variety though

Good idea, but the game was virtually unplayable without locking the mouse. Knocked down four zombies and stopped playing because I got the point.

Variety and better hitboxes would definitely brighten up this solid idea.

Thank you for your comments. Yeah I had a lot of ideas for this game but for the time I couldn't finished. It is good to know that you liked the atmosphere, thats what I wanted but I know the gameplay needs a lot of work.

Horror theme solid.

However, it's a bit of a straight theming anyway. Would have been fun to give some context to why we're using a broom, and perhaps set it in an appropriate setting?

No feedback from the broom limits the amount of fun I'm having with it :( :( :(

Am interested to see if it can be expanded upon, and for the time you had, good job :)

User feedback could be improved (hard to tell if/when I hit the zombie), but overall a good submission.

Zombie Broom room after room until your doom. Terrifyingly redundant but compelling. Interesting game.
