I tried to do a good rundown of a review in my video here:
Very interesting and simple game! Wanna play again and again! Good job)
So that's how you make a nice and polished game in 7 days. There's everything, nice music, visuals, satisfying effects, smooth gameplay. Much to learn from :-)
Definitely fits the theme. :)
Really cool game. Kinda reminds me of a mobile game called Zombie Tsunami.
One of my favorites so far! Well suited to the theme and very addictive ( if you are a person like me that likes collect-athons or grinding / the feel that you are getting stronger over time ). This was well suited to the team, and great artwork!
If you have a chance please check out and rate my team's entry "Beatdown Breakdown Boomtastic" : https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928162 It's a rhythm-based brawler!
I played on the WebGL version:
Switched to the downloadable version as the WebGL version is unplayable:
A way to pause the game would be nice
Feels very polished and the art looks great
Sometimes the sprites look blurry. I feel like this might be due to the partially transparent pixels (shadow?) around them
Huh, you're the first person to ever have that Webgl issue, and the sprite blurring is just due to some post processing.
I tried it again and it’s working now 🤔 It’s possible there was something going wrong on my side
72 people was my largest horde. I need to move on or I will be playing this one all day.
This game very addictive!
It is so simple yet for some reason sooo good and you exactly hit that sweet spot where player (or at least me) with each game over screen will say "c´mon, I can do better than that!" and start over. If that isn´t sign of great design, I don´t know what is. Great job, going into my TOP list from this game jam ;)
the game idea is unique and fun! easy to start but hard to survive longer. the camera is a little cranky(at least on the web) the art is cute but a little messy somehow(might relate to the camera too) Other than that a great game I love it.
This is a great arcade style game! Very simple concept, yet so addicting! It's so satisfying to convert humans into zombies, with the pixelated effect and sound. Also, the music is epic. When you gather more zombies it seems that the amount of FBI agents that spawn increases linearly to the point where there is almost a max on the amount of zombies you can have since so many of them get shot. One small place to improve on is the tutorial, I feel like instead of having the player move and step on those buttons you could have a mini demo that transitions into the start of the game or something. Other than that, it's an awesome game! I love how the city is randomly generated, and it's a nice little easter egg that the statue is randomly one of the devs! I had a lot of fun streaming this today, thank you so much for showing up!
Cute art style and music, I'm always a sucker for controlling a huge horde of characters! I liked (whether intentional or not) strategically pushing the horde against buildings to best defend the leader! I think the largest my horde got to was the mid 70s :D
Really fun game! The mechanics are really simple, easy to grasp, yet offer good fun, perfect for a game jam.
Incredibly well-done game. Had much fun building a horde. Resonates with the theme of the jam so well.
Very well done game! Good to see you playing as the zombie for a change. Good art, gameplay and fits in perfect with the theme.
5/5 for everything! This is pretty much a better and more polished version of my game.
Nice game, 5/5 on theme 👍
love the style of the game and the music and sound effects make it very satisfying to build up big hordes. Good job!
