Running from zombies is only interesting for so long, also the screen is very small so it is difficult when zombies pop in from off screen from not very far away and you have to react. but it seems like you have the core of a really cool game,"},{"author_name":"Daiwen","author_uid":"35439","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 7:30am","epoch":1429514700,"text":"Thanks for your comments! I really don't know what I can do about perfs... :-( I agree with what you said Catwheel, I realised than running away from zombies wasn't gonna be fun for long, a bit late. Next time I will try to set up my gameplay to be able to tell a short story, which would probably make the experience more satisfying."},{"author_name":"Jerre","author_uid":"13020","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 3:29pm","epoch":1429543440,"text":"On mac I get this error:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>java -jar desktop-1.0.jar \r<br\/>Controllers: added manager for application, 1 managers active\r<br\/>Exception in thread &quot;LWJGL Application&quot; java.lang.IllegalStateException: Array is empty.\r<br\/>\tat com.badlogic.gdx.utils.Array.first(Array.java:307)\r<br\/>\tat com.clanfree.mode.GameMode.show(GameMode.java:92)\r<br\/>\tat com.badlogic.gdx.Game.setScreen(Game.java:61)\r<br\/>\tat com.clanfree.game.ClanFree.create(ClanFree.java:24)\r<br\/>\tat com.badlogic.gdx.backends.lwjgl.LwjglApplication.mainLoop(LwjglApplication.java:143)\r<br\/>\tat com.badlogic.gdx.backends.lwjgl.LwjglApplication$1.run(LwjglApplication.java:120)"},{"author_name":"Daiwen","author_uid":"35439","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:23pm","epoch":1429546680,"text":"Jerre if you downloaded the game something like 5 hours before you commented.

Nothing too innovative but implementation worked and the framerate was steady.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Personally, I found the sound to be a little annoying (looping zombie-groan) and I would have enjoyed to play a little longer than just dying with the first hit, though.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also the rather close camera made every round more frenetic than tactical. Sadly, the gameplay didn't introduce any new elements such as obstacles, upgrades, or different enemy types (e.g. slower but tougher zombies, shooting foes, etc.)"},{"author_name":"ss64games","author_uid":"50775","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:58pm","epoch":1429635180,"text":"Hmmmm interesting switch up of twin-stick play.

I survived 21.934 seconds and killed 52 zombies. The weapon looked like that needle weapon from Guardians of the Galaxy. It was tough due to the spawning of the zombies and the move speed. I think it might have been a bit more fun if the enemies ramped up a little more slowly. I basically just focused on keeping my character out of danger and swirled around the weapon in hope of killing zombies.
