Cool idea for a horror game. Art style was basic low-poly, nothing bad about it but it was pretty simple. I liked the voices for the ghouls, that got me a little tense as I was rushing to find ammo. I like that I couldn't find any health pickups, I think it adds to the horror feeling of the game. Speaking of, it had a nice horror feeling to it, not being able to mow down lots of enemies with lots of ammo was big. A big part of survival horror is making the player feel weak and I did not feel like I could take on all the ghouls. I wish there was more you could do to fight them, like maybe locking them in certain places, I was on the roof of the house and I thought it would've been cool if you could run back down the plank and shoot it down so the ghouls would die when they try to follow you. My main criticism is the theme, it was really only there in name and looks. You weren't delivering to anybody, like the house was there but it felt like you were turning on generators instead of giving people packages. I think the game would've been really cool if you were like a courier to people who are still alive and hiding from the ghouls, that would've fit the theme better and have been cooler.\n\nOverall, lot of potential, good game right now, I had fun playing but I think it could've fit the theme of the jam better, not that it has to, but it was the main thing I noticed aside from the actual game.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":957442,"author_name":"Martta","author_uid":"martta","epoch":1683127992,"text":"@stellarr2 In Finland Posti delivers packages to a locked box close to you where you pick it up with a code you receive with SMS message. :) ","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":958499,"author_name":"Crompo","author_uid":"crompo","epoch":1683137829,"text":"Good stuff, the fact that bullets are pretty hard to come across made it feel pretty intense!

A stunning amount of mechanics for a jam game - between the defensive rolls, the upgrade system, and the 'capture point' deliveries - they all blend together to make a great experience!\n\nLove the vibes - that creepy ps1 style mixed worked so well with the stretched faces, a very cool effect.\nIt was very enjoyable just dashing about that map, getting to explore the little areas. There were some cool encounters at the choke points, or when you could roll into a ditch, then had to navigate your way back out.\n\nAnd that stereo audio slaps!

Our games are indeed very similar! I had a lot of fun playing yours. I loved the atmosphere and how you used the flashlight and the labyrinthic paths to convey this sense of urgency while wandering around. It took me a while to figure out and find the stairs, so I spent a lot of time running from enemies until I understood you could climb the buildings haha. My only complaint is that the enemy spawn rate was bit high, but I suppose that was planned to increase the difficulty over time. Really nice entry, I loved it!

The atmosphere of the zombie apocalypse is conveyed very well. The soundtrack and graphics are very nice. It's fun enough to play.\n\nIt's a pity that zombies cannot be kicked off the roof, they hang in the air at the level of the roof and come towards you again. Also, the number of zombies is growing exponentially, which very quickly makes the game almost impossible.
