- The details were awesome - rain and particles. Are those default to ImpactJS or did you programmed them by yourself?
- The bullet trajectory was simple and effective; you could shoot from the other side of the screen, calculating to hit zombies while escaping the place.
You should definitely work on improving this game.
Here's some things you could do:
- Spawnable Power-ups/Mutators/Whatever. They could both benefit and downgrade your progress
- Different behavior for the zombies; Like some could run after you, others could jump... You could even copy from L4D or somethin
- Other weapons/equipments; grenades, machineguns... The sky is the limit.
- Co-op; I think 4 to 5 people playing at the same time (cramming the keyboard, I know) would make a great hit.
- Multiplayer; if you're feeling brave, mess up with websockets, rev up a server and turn this baby into a huge thing!
Congrats!
But visuals are nice. So if you add bonuses and weapons, this game become standard survival shooter.
The rain and the splatter effect is really nice.
alexdantas: The particles were made by me (all code in the "source" zip is), but Impact makes it really easy to move things on the screen...
