A bit short, but the gameplay is awesome. The zombie AI is pretty basic, but that's cool, and they kind of remind me of old Mario AI. The music fits the game very well, same for the sound fx. Great job!!"},{"author_name":"Gins","author_uid":"33074","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 11:32pm","epoch":1398814020,"text":"Cool first game :)\r<br\/>It's a bit on the hard side when it comes to the low-ceiling jumps in the beginning, but once I figured out how to optimally get through the level it was fun. It has potential, maybe you'll work on it some more after the compo!"},{"author_name":"TheLastBanana","author_uid":"2656","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 12:12am","epoch":1398816420,"text":"Congrats on your first Ludum Dare!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I found the controls were a little sticky, and I kept getting stuck inside of walls while jumping.

You mentioned that you failed to get a creepy feeling, but believe me, it exists. The music does wonders and I really enjoyed the elements like hunger, limited ammo and line of sight zombie eye flashing.
