This is excellent. I really like the 10 second bullet so you have to spare, and also that you can shoot multiple zombies with one bullet... kind of makes you run around to make them form a line so you can kill them all :) Nice job!

Agree with everything @hotaloca said. Perhaps could have used even more enemies. I found I only got a sense of urgency once near the beginning when there was a group of enemies and I didn't get them all with the first shot.

Too hard for me. Maybe for non-good FPS players you could add an easy mode :pensive:

It's fun to see how many you can line up for one shot. The last one moving faster really caught me off guard (and killed me) the first time. Good job.

It's difficult... It's challenging... Though I believe the graphics can Improve

Quick and fun game, the soundtrack is amazing, it really put pressure on the player.
I think the game in itself is a good bases on which working, add various weapon, maybe caracters skill and a rogue light touch and it will be amazing.

Great job.

Managed to beat it on second try. Lining up zombies was pretty satisfactory. Would mention music as positive as well. Nice job for a jam, though it's hard to imagine this game as something bigger.

Fun game! Love the fact level is not so big and you have only 1 hp. Wish there were more levels though and some scoring maybe (e.g. time)? As well as enemies that require 2-3 hits :smirk:

Here is my playthrough:

@icxon

Thanks for sharing your playthrough. It was really nice to watch!!

Yeah, we were a team of 3 and didn't have enough time to add in other levels / respawning enemies. Both of which we were interested in exploring.

Cool game. Difficult but a lot of fun. Really cool take on the theme. Nice work.

Great game! It's really satisfying to line up through 3 or 4 zombies then let it rip. I feel like it does need a bit more fleshing out though, maybe you could add some more complicated AI behaviours?

The acid puddle (or whatever it is!) at the top of the map isn't very obviously deadly -- I thought I died for no reason the first time!

Shooting a bunch of zombies at once felt good, although you only got one or two stabs at that before things thinned out. Perhaps having the zombies naturally try to form groups (instead of just standing idly) would fix that.

Cool mechanic, satisfying to kill a group of enemies. I agree that the deadly puzzle at the top wasn't well telegraphed, and also that it could have better AI so you don't have to seek out individual enemies near the end

Thanks for the feedback guys!
I agree the acid pool doesn't look deadly enough and the death animation isn't clear. I'm thinking of adding particle effects over the acid and a different death animation will make it much more clearer.
