Loved it! Shooting is really satisfying, but I die by accidentally clicking the green selection squares sometimes when shooting.

Hilariously fun! I absolutely love how simple it is. The cover mechanic is very well implemented aside from the occasional accidental move while trying to shoot.

Would have been nice to have two separate keys for move and shoot, just so i dont accidentally move...Other than that, fun game, good work!

I found it very amusing when I first learned what super beard did.

I would definitely switch the moving to rmb, because I've accidentally ran into my death too many times.
Fun game, played for a while without really noticing where the theme was and had to come back here to check. Music and sounds were nice, shooting felt satisfying.

This is glorious, great premise and really fun! The only issue I had was I keep clicking outside the window in panic, which hides it. Absolutely love the super beard mechanic

Not bad, not bad. I guess we need more games centered around beards.

Fun game! Only had some Problem because i died often when moving to the next cover and getting overrun by enemies that were outside my view before. Also looks really good.

Really fun game! I like the super beard explosion but the sound is a little too loud and can be annoying. Great game feel with the screen shake and general effects.

So far, the best game I've tried! Love the camera movement, the idea awesome, beards are cool. I'd say its a bit hard (no hp), but gj! Really good!

Hah! I was not prepared for the Super Beard effect. xD Shooting feels good, vulnerability while dashing for ammo works well. Nice.

Interesting mechanics, nice sounds and pretty graphics :)
It's better not to click on cover to go there and just go where mouse is pointing to the next cover, IMO.

The shooting is a lot of fun. Occasionally there is a problem where the hero gets stuck behind an ammo crate. Fun game.

Nice graphics, funny idea. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/Fm6iQk47yZ0

Really fun game! The overall aesthetic is very well done, and -If I had to nitpick- it would be better if the camera was a bit more zoomed out, since it would allow you to see the incoming zombies more easily. Otherwise, great job!
