[raw]

My entry for Ludem Dare 42.

Welcome to the world of Get Rekt. Full of weapons and explosions and zombies. Will you survive long enough to set the best high score.

You got 4 weapons which you can use to deal with these zombies but, watch out the game likes to change from time to time And, your space becomes more limited when more zombies come from these portals.

go and play until you get rekt of course. gameplay video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWqsFmyk10A

The set looks like a classic Legend of Zelda dungeon. I like that a lot. But i didn't have the feeling t of running out of space very much.

Nice submission! I liked the gunfeel and chaotic nature of the game. So many zombies, but making them easy to kill also makes you feel very powerful and in control. I also loved that they split to little bits that you can push around! :D Some feedback: there didn't seem to spawn any ammo boxes, so my ammo went down on all weapons and that was it. Only medkits everywhere.. Also, the ammo counter said 8, when I was out of bullets. hmmm Other than that, I liked the game, good job on finishing it! I attached my score below :)![Knipsel.JPG](///raw/557/a/z/192d9.jpg)

@virtual-turtle-studio hey dud thanks for your feedback. yhea I didn't balance the game that great. not enough time to finish that.

the idea was to make a karma system the can help you but also turns against you as well(so more bad luck that happened gives some good luck in return and vice-versa) about the ammo kits I think I made the chance that they will spawn is too low. I will look later to fix that.

by the way nice score you have there.

This was fun! The controls feel very good, speed and spawn frequency is nicely balanced. The different guns are a nice touch, although not really necessary because I always had enough gunpower and bullets no matter what gun I was using, but the big exploding bullets are very satisfying! The graphics are clear and do the job, the music is well chosen, the whole thing looks and feels quite polished. The only thing that bugged me was that I struggled to read the messages above the player's head. In a game that's as fast-paced as this one, having text constantly flashing on the screen is quite distracting. You should try voice acting next time ;)

Overall I really enjoyed this!

Score on first try: 46258 (I have no idea how I even survived that long...)

PS: If you didn't do the majority of the sound in the game, you should probably opt-out of the audio category.

Nice Game. Everything runs smoothly the controls felt just right. The Art was nice and the Music was even better. But it seemed like it wasn't balanced that great. Overall nice Game!

A nice shooter, the control feels good. Who doesn't like killing zombies? :D Good job!

I didn't really get where the theme was implemented, but other than that it is a nice game. I thought the difficulty curve worked very well. For example, the dropping of bombs after a while.

Really liked the game. I especially liked the random events. Next to this it was cool that killed enemies left behind some pieces, although I felt these enemies parts on the ground were hindering my movement a bit.

I ran out of bullets (maybe I spammed too much) and winded up circling the enemies to blow them all up at the same time, which was fun to do (and not too easy!).

Here's my score!

@phi for avoiding the confusion I put the audio out of judging.
and I still want to change some weapons like the shotgun would be nice if you could shoot 3 bullets and 3 directions from one round. and I will look for a better font that is clearly more visible. and thanks for playing the game.

@c0nst4ntin I didn't have enough time left to balance the game correctly. I wanted to make a karma system the gives you some good luck when you get a lot of bads one. but I agree it should be better.

@nam-nguyen glad you enjoy it.

@kerelolivier I interpreting the theme a little different than other people, I tried I failed a little bit. but that is ludum dare and learning.

@swen nice you found a good strategy to deal with them.

@catbutt +1

@firehawk thank you and I will.

Not a bad entry but with little tweaking could be much better. It is really hard to die right now. And the game desperately needs camera shakes!
Here is THE screen shake presentation (if for some reason you didn't watch this already :)): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJdEqssNZ-U

@antonsem there is camera shake in it. and I know this video all too well from vlambeer Jan Willem Nijman. good video by the way for people who do not know him. and why shakes screens are fun to have in your game as well. and other stuff of course :D

The game is dynamic and very nervous. Too bad there aren't more types of enemies. Otherwise, the game is still fun to play ^^

Very cool game ! I really didn't have enough space to breath ahah. The BIP sound of the alarm made crazy tho. :zap:

Enjoyable. It reminded me of Zombies Ate My Neighbors + Nuclear Throne. Not a bad combo.

The theme could be implemented better, as others have said. But still, really enjoyable.

Really nice! I enjoyed the game even if I felt the difficulty wasn't growing quickly enough. Anyway, I spent 15 minutes killing 2000+ zombies, and even managed to get out of bounds! Lovely simple old-school graphics, efficient music.
Great game!

It's really addictive, but its really easy to survive indefinitely.
