Love the weirdness of the theme, but needs more audio and better spawn algorithm for the zombies. Would love to have a way of reloading the weapon (and maybe there is, but I haven't found it yet.)

What a fun game! Very relatable too for us ketchup lovers hahaha.
I did found a bug however that the rocket launcher wouldn't work if i switched weapons too fast. Other than that it plays very nicely!

Very cool game but the camera keeps on shifting and made me miss a few shots :o

Fun and simple game! Played it for a while.

The pickle spawns where a bit unfair sometimes, and the camera movement was annoying and unnecessary. The egg attack was fun! Would have loved to see a reason to use it, gameplay wise, feel like the pistol was the only option where you wouldn't run out of ammo.

Cool game, however sometimes the pickles spawned right next to me and there was no chance to save Mr. Potato.

I really enjoyed this. I am gonna assume that you made it so that a zombie can't spawn on top of me, because that never happened to me, but I keep dying when the camera "jumps" a bit sideways and end up running out of ammunition. There wasn't really any point using the other weapons apart from the pistol as you would always run out of ammo. Not sure if the holes the zombies come out of has a purpose after the first zombie comes, but it clutters up the screen a bit too fast, so I'd probably have them deleted after a while.

@Vex Actually there is limited bullets so you shouldn't shoot unnecessaryly. More audio is going to be added on the android version!

As some other players mentioned before, the camera movement is a bit annoying and the pickle spawning points sometimes unfair.
But it is a funny game and so far my winner in the humor category!

...qBert?

I like the isometric perspective and the whole premise of the game. Hearing that lil' fella talk is funny.

As feedback, I'd improve the UI. having the high score in the middle of the screen distracts from the zombies. Also I'd indicate somehow that the ammo is reloading and usable for all weapons. Perhaps a loading bar that gets full every time we get 1 ammo back.

The game is fun. The idea is simple and clear. I like kethcup, the character likes kethup so i like the game. Still needs some sounds though. But overall, the game is nice.

20. Apr 2020 · 15:26 UTC
@skelleroznik Yes we need audio for the game and we will do it for the android version. Thanks for your feedback!

@maximbegunov Yes i think so. We will do it. Thanks for your suggestion.

Well made!
I was thinking that was a bug with this first text :D
Sadly no audio :/

Nice little game, I mean good job. But only if the camera wasn't shifting so much, but overall well done

20. Apr 2020 · 16:26 UTC
@sheetcode Man I am saying again: I LOVED your game if you upload it to android please let me know.
I gotta say the first text isn't a bug, there were voice when there is no text and then I decided to write something and make something funny. Sadly there is no audio you are right but we will add audio to the android version of this game. Thanks for your feedback <3

My only complaint is that it would be better to have sound effects D:


Well done nonetheless!

@sheinxy Thanks for your comment! You are right we need some sound effects and wee will do it in the android version of the game. By the way nice and cool GIF buddy! I see that you are good at pixel arts. I will go and check your game out.

Enjoyed the game. Would have liked better sound effects on the weapons but I did laugh at his voice when talking. Quite a cool concept of trying to protect something that values ketchup more than it's own life!
Duck Reaction
21. Apr 2020 · 11:59 UTC
Really funny even if my best score is only 14 :/
I really appreciate the "how to play".
Missing some sound effects and the mouse cursor is too slow in my opinion.

Good job.

@sami @duck-reaction yeah there is no sound effects. But we will add sound effects to mobile version. Thanks for your feedbacks.

@varbin If you don't shoot a while it is going to be reload.

Nice game with a good gameplay.

21. Apr 2020 · 18:12 UTC
The game is cool. I think it's not cool to have the same munition amount for all weapon. And it would be better to see our bullet. Nice work ! :D

I did like the art, but wen I shoot it didn't work on line of sight. It a okey choose I gues, but feels a little bit frustrated. Or maby I just a noob in the game :P Still liked it to play though!

Really adicting game. Graphics are basic, buf funny. The Egg weapon is...wait? what!? :XD Although is simple, I couldn't stop playing it. I would expect some music. Menus are fine and a very closed entry. Good job!

@robotsandmuffins you can eat egg everyday so then we said to ourselves "Why don't we put some eggs to game?" and bada bing badabam.

24. Apr 2020 · 07:54 UTC
Very nice game! I like how simple it is yet it's still fun. There's an issue though, the zombies sometimes spawn at the top of the character, making it instant game over. If you planning to release the mobile version I hope you fix this. Regardless, I had a blast playing. Well done!
Maqo12
24. Apr 2020 · 11:18 UTC
@ahistyap thanks for your kind comment. You are right there is some issues in the game and you are right again we will fix them in the mobile version :)
SAVVU
24. Apr 2020 · 15:09 UTC
A lot of fun! Had a great time hunting that ketchup but sometimes the anemies spawned exactly at my position and I lost! Maybe you could make o circle around the player that is spawn safe. Overall a great game and I wish you good luck.

24. Apr 2020 · 17:17 UTC
Interesting concept of not controlling the "player" directly.
Maqo12
24. Apr 2020 · 19:27 UTC
@savvu A circle would be great, we will add something like that in the mobile version :thumbsup:
@taddl We did something like that beacuse the concept of the jam is keep IT alive ;)

@amye123 I agree with you if there was more music it would be better.

Fun, short game. Its kinda cheap when a zombie just spawns right underneath you. Could also do with some background music

Fajpaj
27. Apr 2020 · 02:13 UTC
Pretty fun stuff. I always like jam games that keep it simple and don't overload the player with info. I think that the pistol could use some feedback when you shoot, like a bullet hole or and a sound effect.
🎤 Ege686
27. Apr 2020 · 06:28 UTC
@ambadev Yeah it is really bad when zombie spawns near you. We will fix it.

This game was pretty fun, but I think the only thing was the hit box was too small, so it was harder to hit the pickle-zombies, but I really liked the game. I also liked the egg.

It was a fun game! I love how self-conscious was the tutorial (about zombies looking like pickes and such xD) and it was fun to play. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that zombies spawn totally random and each time I lost was the moment when zombie spawned literally on the character so I had almost no time to react. I think there should be a treshhold of some kind for zombie sprawning around the character. Also +1 for egg weapon xD
DeathStorm

A Cute game with well working mechanics

Had some fun playing it. Only point which bothers me is when the Zombie is directly spawning below the chicken. Maybe that could be fixed.

Anyhow well done, Good job.
