Pizzapocalypse by GERD

[raw]
made by GERD for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

The zombie apocalypse is here! While zombies hunger for brains, people still hunger for pizza! Your job as delivery man, is to satisfy the people and not the zombies. Learn the city and avoid the zombies to deliver hot and delicious pizza!

Controls:

WASD / Left analog stick to move

Mouse / Right analog stick to look

Spacebar / Bottom face button to jump

Left Click / Right face button to attack

Tips:

Getting hit while carrying a pizza reduces the pizza's quality, lowering your tip.

Getting hit also reduces your timer.

Killing Zombies is not your job, delivering pizza is. While zombies can be killed, its usually worth it to hit them once or twice to knock them away and run to your destination.

Take a different route back to the pizza shop if possible, so you don't run right back into the horde.

While you can jump over ledges, zombies cannot. Use them to give yourself more distance.

While tunnels can be convenient, they're pretty dangerous as you can't jump and enemies won't get knocked back as far.

Literally incredible!!! I love love love the graphics in this game and all of the colors. I think the cityscape looks so pretty and well put together. The movement is fun and easy, and I enjoyed jumping away from the zombies & ruthlessly slaying them with my pizza cutter when I had to make a quick escape. I loved the pizza delivery mechanic as well and found so much joy in all the little details I'd see when looking for shortcuts. The voice lines gave me so many laughs!!! I LOVE IT you guys all did amazing!!!

I had a lot of fun with it. The fact that you need to return to the same spot repeatedly after making deliveries interacts with the zombie mob mechanic in an engaging way. I like that you can avoid zombies by jumping, and that you can jump on car roofs to get on top of some buildings

Noice artwork and great gameplay and I love concept of it!!!

Pls play my game!!

This was actually a ton of fun! The horde growing bigger and bigger with each delivery was fun! I think it took a bit to get into the swing of things, with the zombies, but other than that. Super fun!

"Oh look at da time, Pizza time" I had so much fun with this game! The voice lines carried it, they were incredible! I also quite liked the movement! Gameplay got a bit boring near the end but it was still fun! Great game!

THE VOICE LINES. Holy hell what a GOOD ASS TIME. Such oozing personality. The level layout added a ton to the gameplay. I wish the pizza cutter had a bit more range or something but once I kinda got the feeling of it it actually really worked out. There was a point where I just wanted something new, which is defs a W

I can't believe I got fired when my accent is so rad.

Everyone is talking about it and for a good reason, the voice lines are fire! The game reminded me of tony hawk and spiderman at the same time (the feel, not the movement itself haha), you know, from the playstation era? Cool voice lines, interesting environment - it's a lovely entry for sure, great job!

I liked that the game has vertical gameplay - it's really cool. On and for the arrow thank you. But otherwise... Beating zombies almost doesn't make sense. It's easier to jump over them, or beat them only when you push him forward. That is, zombies do not pose any danger at all, which makes it quickly boring. But in general it turned out well.

Charming game! The voice lines are great and the design of the city is great too. Could always find an alternate path. Love the verticality as well to make it not so static. Bada-bing-bada-boom, Good job!

Really charming and fun game I loved being able to jump and climb onto buildings whilst running away from zombies. I think the comedy was really well done with the voice acting and vibe of the game great job!

This was great! I loved how you added verticality to the level to allow for some good shortcuts and the theme was great. I appreciate a good arrow compass too! The graffiti and art style in general was great and worked well with the music so I had a lot of fun!

If there was anything I'd improve, it would really just be letting the player punch objects like cars and bins as well as making zombies lose their hitboxes as soon as they die but I don't really have nay complaints! Great game!
