If the idea is you don't want people shooting the zombies from behind, then I feel like you should've just locked the player position to the wall and only given them left-right freedom of movement (but still let them look in any direction).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The sound effects were cool, I like the pitch changes. not sure why some people are telling you to use sfxr, don't see how that's relevant at all. Some music would've been nice though. Particle effects were neat.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice frantic little shoot 'em up. It was fun for a couple rounds, so not bad given what you had to work with. Good job"},{"author_name":"Lafie","author_uid":"35241","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 2:48pm","epoch":1399128180,"text":"The graphics are functional, and the blood effects are a nice touch, although the enemy sprites don't turn to the camera, so walking past them turns the enemies invisible.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The enemies move very erratic, which makes it really difficult to shoot the last few enemies. Other than that, the round-based gameplay with the timer offers a clear objective and challenge."},{"author_name":"jellyfishlion","author_uid":"21055","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 3:11pm","epoch":1399129560,"text":"Overall, it's a fun little game and I enjoyed playing it. As others have said, you can't see the enemies from behind, and once I got to round 4 they were going so fast I could hardly shoot half of them before they'd get past me (but that may have just been my terrible aim). I think you did a great job though! :)"},{"author_name":"Waterman7","author_uid":"31692","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 9:50pm","epoch":1399153500,"text":"Love the colors and the guitar sounds playing when shooting a zombie.
