Bob the Zombie by Sanguis

[raw]
made by Sanguis for LD 44 (JAM)

Game_title.png

Meet Bob! Bob is a zombie and he is slowly dying. The only way to slow down his decay is to eat others. As it becomes harder with the time, he can purchase upgrades by the end of each day. But it will cost him his own life, so he need to be careful with that!

How many days can BOB survive?

Mouth-made sounds are just awesome :) The graphics are on point (as always), and the game is just overall very fun :D

Excellent job! I like gameplay and the idea which reminds me the game Scrubbse the zombie. Additionally, the visuals are pretty good.

Awesome game, it's cool how much more strategy you could get from of the power system this way. The art style and graphics are especially great.

Thank you all for your feedback and such a nice words! We are really glad that you liked our little game.

Also to mention, special thanks needs to go to my wife, that helped us with all the sounds a lot! :)
Actually to both of our wifes, as they were super supportive and supplied us with food, drinks and patience!

Nice, haha— Pretty solid spritework, and the recorded sound effects are entertaining. Pretty fairly fun in itself too, solid little submission you guys got.

Something that is really great about this game is that you get into it real quick. There are no confusing controls and such. Hahahaha - and those sound effects - hahaha - real fun.

5 stars for audio :clap:

The game is really fun ! The art is great, the zombie is perfect (I love his right eye shaking up and down), the voice acting made me laugh. I only think the game is a bit too difficult, sometimes you just start a day and wherever you run there's no one so you just die, without being able to do something. But this is a detail I think, easy to fix, so there's no problem about that. Great entry!

It's fun and pretty challenging. I like the graphics and the sound effects made me smile :smiley:
Would've been nice to see the character stats in the menu while buying upgrades. You need to be really careful with buying upgrades so that you won't loose if there are no humans close to the spawn. I think this core idea fits the theme very well, great job! Also a big thumbs up for the supportive wives! :thumbsup:

I couldn't stop playing it, it was so much fun :D I loved all the characters and I didn't want to leave the main menu or end game window because of the great drum music :D Amazing pixel art, by the way, I liked it a lot!

Cool game! The art is especially awesome. Very polished style and animations.
The gameplay loop itself works as intendend and the theme is implemented in more than one facette. Sadly, it gets repetitive rather quickly. Would be awesome if there were more variations in gameplay or challenges in the later days. Other than day, great entry!

Good job guys, very nice to play, graphic and sound are awesome! I didn't understand if there is any difference between the characters you can eat, maybe it can make it more variable and interesting to put bonus or malus base on who you eat :)

The visuals and humor are definitely the selling point here. The upgrades sure take a lot of life, in the beginning I could only buy a single upgrade per session to avoid dying too soon.

You should consider making a mobile app of this. Good job and thanks for making this. :-)

Seriously love the art style! I could play a much longer side scroller with this art. Great job!

great art style! love the concept, only problem is death while purchasing abilities maybe a warning when your health gets too low or an option to make upgrades less costly. Great work thank you! You should implement a scroller.

I like how the game looks so cute. The screams were a bit too loud, but that also made them funnier, so I'm kind of torn on that one :P

Double check the audio balance. Some of the SFX are a little loud compared to music. Maybe have some kind of sound when health gets low, or an indication on screen. Very nice visuals though, well done.

The gameplay was excellent, the art was beautiful, the sound effects were funny... Really enjoyed the game, my only concern is the difficulty, since I couldn't pass day 3 :sob:. Overall great game!

This is really cool zombie simulator! I never though before how difficult it is to be a zombie, when you have to continuously eat fresh brains or you'll die. This submission is amazing, really cool art and nice twist on the theme. Great job!

A very beautiful game with a great atmosphere! The fun is there and it's well cartoon as it should be without too much ^^
The music deserves to be perhaps more elaborate especially that the SFX are perhaps too strong

Great job, the art work it good but one issue (It's not really an issue but....)
- The eating sound doesn't match with the screaming sound, one looks very arcade like and other very realistic

But the game is awesome, I would try building a city around the burger shop to not deal with the people random spawning in thin air...

Congratulations on this game, bro ^^

Waw! Nice artstyle! I liked the idea and how you get into the theme. I lost 3 times cause of the decay! ahahahaha Nice game by the way!!

Excellent entry, I've laughed so hard at the sudden screaming from the civilians LOL

03. May 2019 · 20:34 UTC
Pretty nice and polished game! Well done! I especially liked the sound effects and the various screams!
My only complaint is, that there aren't enough civilians, or there aren't enough variation of civilians.
Otherwise great job! This was one of the few games that actually made me laugh!

This game is great! So enjoyable on many levels. I got that feeling that i need to get better and better with each run. Cool graphics and upgrades. Only thing i would just turn the screams down a little, besides that - one of my favs! Good job!

Great game! But i couldn't finish some of my runs because the zombie got stuck while eating a dude: I couldn't move nor eat. Other than that sometimes the zombie starts eating 2 people at a time and it causes some strange audio behaviour. Overall a great game

Hahaha that audio!

The game is really funny (especially thanks to the audio) & super easy to get. Pixel art style is really nice as well!

Turned off the sound after a couple of days as it was becoming a bit redundant, but other than that, really well done :)

Hey, that was pretty good! I loved the idea and the sprites. I played around five times but could not get beyond day two. Maybe make the difficulty ramp up a bit more slowly?

Nice job!
