[raw]
made by Uzpykes for Ludum Dare 50 (COMPO)

You had a great plan. The best plan! You took an air balloon and started your travel across the country to a distant survivor camp. "Zombies can't fly!", you thought to yourself. However, unfortunate winds have taken you out of your course and now you're floating in a middle of a desert with no food or water. The end is near. So you might as well spend the rest of your time taking out some undead!

Getting gas at the gas station was a bit tricky, but i enjoyed it.
Well done!

The sound design is funny and I like that the zombis are just few pixels. Minimalism always works for me.

At first I wasn't completely sure how the controls of the air balloon worked, but after figuring that out it works really well! I liked the different weapons, if it was only the handgun it would probably get boring quickly. very nice!

Nice visuals, sounds. The controls were "easy to control, but hard to master". Also when I attempted to scavange the zombies just ganged up on me, so that wasn't wery nice of them.

It took me a little while to get used to the controls, but overall, that's a pretty fun game !

Managed to get to 1992m and killed 63 zombies. Game looks sweet and audio is also pretty good. But I did not understand how the mini game to scavenge is supposed to work.

@bit66 Yeah, sorry about that, it definitely could have been clearer. To scavenge for resources, you have to land at the gas station. Then a progress bar will show up and you have to press space bar when arrow points to a green part of it. At the same time, you have to shoot at zombies to keep them away from you. Then when you're done you can increase your heat to go back up and continue your journey.

@uzpykes right, i gave it another go. I now see the small arrow that moves along the bar. I didn't notice that before :D I guess one needs better multi tasking skills than me with all these zombies

just played it too much hehe.

nice job... its funny, sound is on point, mechanics are fun.

dont know what is the point on killing the zombies, and the scavange feelt bit glitchy sometimes

I really liked the acted sounds of this game!

My biggest problem were the controls of the balloon but it is my fault as I prefer simpler controls.
