Nothing45 by StickyGames

[raw]
made by StickyGames for Ludum Dare 45 (COMPO)

https://youtu.be/uaElrE2OZjI sidescroller zombie shooter created for LUDUM DARE 45 Made with Unity, Blender, Gimp, sounds recorded with phone voice recorder and edited in AudaCity.

This was my first game jam ever, I will upload it to itch.io soon as time allows, I didn't know I can, found out after I uploaded on kongregate but there are long ads. sorry about that :) It was a really cool experience to join ludum dare and I think I hang around for a long time, already looking forward to the next one! :)

start with nothing, nothing on the screen, and nothing to defend yourself against zombies with, well, only your bare hands. Search the bins for weapons and energy drinks, you can search the same bin multiple times

E to search bins, F to fight, LMB to shoot, left shift to sprint, space to jump, escape to pause, WSAD/arrows to move!

Nice atmosphere in this game! Like the little intro where the lights turn on and you see all the controls on the walls. The graphics have a nice asthetic - some are really good - some of the models animations are a little wooden but not bad for a 48h game!

The mechanics are good. I wish you could interrupt searching bins! And you can fire in to the wall whilst you're searching which is funny (but not very useful :laughing:). It might be nice to change the controls so that punch and shoot are both on the mouse - maybe use mouse wheel to switch between them, or number keys to select weapon. I find F is a little tricky to use when you're also trying to dodge with D.

Overall, good fun :thumbsup:

Thanks for feedback! It was originally right click to fight but on the webGL when running with shift and punching it would show the right click mouse menu so I had to change it.

Great little game, it's surpisingly atmospheric! The only proble is that it has some "I don't know what to do" factor and when first zombies came I even felt like in any resident evil game - you start and zombie ates you. Well, not that bad, good work!

I think I can agree on all points with Kazatan.
The atmosphere is really well done in the beginning and the theme is well put into focus there. That "HEALTH" is your health is a fun feature as well. I feel like the "art-flow" is not as consistent as I would like it too be (some graphics have recieved much more care than others) but that is flaming on high levels.
Well done!

the UI and text was meant to look like it was written/drawn with blood, I wanted it to look very basic and rough, it's not that I didn't want to spend time on it :)
I appreciate the feedback. thanks guys! going to sleep now but will make sure to check your games tomorrow too!

Nice game! I like the dark, brooding atmosphere you created and the 2.5D aesthetic works well. You made good use of the theme and the sound effects did the trick. I found F to melee pretty awkward and I didn't really have a reason to jump. Also might be nice if the player had a bit of illumination around him so you don't run head on into zombies in the darkness. I had fun playing - good job!

Hey!

Played your entry!

It is really really nice, but have some lightning problems I think.

I loved that shooting sound. xD It was like an old school comedy fragment.

Also, I tried to get as far to the right as I can.Thought I would find something there. But looks like nothing really changes. Maybe I did not reach the point?

Anyway, general aesthetics and mood are very nice!

Great job! :3

@mikeliosus the map is quite long and it's all repetitive but there are walls at the end on both sides. the left end of the map is quite close from starting point and there is something funny to find there.
@Balance686 i wanted it to be so dark that you don't see when you run into a zombie, you need to stay close to a window, lamp or walk when the car is passing, otherwise you can listen to the sound of zombies getting louder as they come closer. you also get a bit of light when you use weapons.
thanks both for positive feedback!

Pretty good game, I like the graphics, but it's often too dark! Good job anyway ;)

@stickygames Oh, this is nice idea, and I get it.

I meant another thing when mentioned lightning problems.

Sometimes lightning laggs. Show you whole the road in the middle of darkness, or flashes frequently. I meant that.
