How does your game fit the theme?
The game fits the theme "calm before the storm" because of its core mechanic of increasing difficulty - the more a city grows because of secured resources, the more the spawn manager overwhelms you with zombies
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
yes

The game design and art are great. The issue is the buttons and movements. I was finding it difficult to control the players while trying to shot as well and move. Overall I think you it's awesome 💯
Thank you so much for taking the time! Yes, the controls came up quite a few times! I am working hard to it at the moment to make it even better! THere will even be a battle robot to help slashing zombies :)
Hello again! Thanks for your feedback during the Brackey's game jam!
I worked a lot on improving the jam submission and made a massive overhaul of the game. I'd be eternally grateful if you could give it another go and share your thoughts! Blasting some Zombies is a good way to start the weekend :) <3

Hey, I just checked your page, and it looks like we started game development at pretty much same time and Brackeys is guilty for that in my case too! I played your game, and I like most of what I saw and heard. UI is great, sounds and animations, blood trails, everything is really awesome. I just couldn't enjoy and I wanted so much, but position of attack button near to my moving joystick killed me. I just couldn't move and aim and shoot, so basically I was running and trying to aim and shoot and survive as long as I could. I am so sorry, as this can easily be fixed with automatic aim and shoot button and I think it would solve all troubles. Again, I congratulations you as this is really awesome job in all other aspects of game design. Good luck, and keep making games!
Hey thanks! Yes, brackeys for the win!
Yes, the controls seem to be hated by everyone! I thought it is a smart idea to allow the player to aim with the right stick and free up the left hand for the shooting, but apparently no one else thought so :D I am actually working hard on an even better version with a zombie slashing battle robot as your sidekick! More to come!
Best of luck my friend, I'm sure we'll cross paths in the next jams :D

Hey! Definitly I will, but right now, awesome game jam is just started with awesome prizes, so I am in another one. just wanted to share with you, if you are interested, here is link: https://gamejamplus.com/crazywebgamejam2024/
Wow, some serious jam right there! Best of luck! Are you jamming solo or with a team? If you need someone to play test let me know, it's the least I can do!
I like the cool smooth artwork. It doesnt really scale well on all devices though. If I have to nitpick, I would have personally chosen for different controls. As the player doesnt move you could also have opted to just fire a rond where the player taps on the screen. But hey. Its a solid entry. Good job.

Good job on the new features! Most of my original comments still apply:
You centered the screen with a fixed resolution or it seems. If I switch my phone to tablet mode (i have a galaxy fold) some menu buttons are not on the screen. Ingame this applies to the right control stick. I believe Android studio (free) comes with simulators of different screen sizes. Perhaps you could look into that.
I still think aiming feels clunky. But good job on the movement of the player.
The ricochet mechanic is cool but the damage a bouncing bullet does to the player is way to much. One time I just fired one shot at the beginning and it was game over. I would turn off friendly fire all together.
Again, its really starting to come together. Keep it up. Hope this helps. Cheers!
Android build is very rare, but this looks great! I can see you put lot of work in this game. I appreciate it, but you would've got more people trying out your game if it was webgl. Hope more people try your game!

Sorry for the blind rating—I don't have a mobile device to play your game, but it looks great from the thumbnail!
This game is pretty cool. I like the graphics.

Couldn't get it to run on my phone yet but I love the art as far as I can see and the instructions and game look quite polished. Gave it a rating based on that! Kudos for making one of the only phone submissions.
Wow, this is the first time I've seen a mobile entry, it's a real eye-opener, keep it up!

its a good game but the shooting button is far from the controls it just needs a lot of playtests and tweaks thats what i think anyways if you have time try my game
Thanks for taking the time. For the controls, would you have preferred to have move and rotate on one joystick and one for shooting, or was it just the distance to switch from the moving (left joystick) to the shooting button that was inconvenient? Will check out your game now!
Really addicting game, nice work!
Thanks :) Did you had issues with the controls? Apparently most people find the two virtual joysticks and the shoot button confusing/not ideal? Thanks!!
Was a little but currently working on a game with similar joystick issue so I got the hang of it quick!

This game is an absolute blast and pretty addicting though I kinda have a personal issue with the controls (especially if it's actually targeted for theee fingers players) but I just can't say no to blasting zombies!
Thank you sooo much for taking the time! Would you prefer moving and rotating with one joystick and one for shooting instead?
I'm personally fine with both! if it is meant for three fingers than as the other comment have pointed out, the control between moving and shooting might need to be spaced out a bit more. though I suppose two buttons could've made for a secondary controls option.
I downloaded and played the game and I enjoyed playing it, but I think that the buttons could place better

I downloaded and played this on my phone, here are a few things I noticed
Things I liked:
- All sprites are awesome, and different enemy types makes the game interesting
- The use of physics in the game is really cool, even though I've not found a particular use for the wrecking ball, it
makes the game more interesting.
- The game is pretty simple and fun to play.
Things I didn't understand:
- How progression works, after selecting a level and the standard modifier and playing for a while I still have not
recieved any materials to build my city with, also no new modifiers. Maybe I'm not surviving long enough?
Things to improve:
- Sound settings did not work on my device, I could not toggle music and SFX.
- Control sticks were to close to the corners which made it hard to control the character how I wanted.
All in all an enjoyable experience, which I might even play more now that I have it installed on my phone. :)
If you have the time to review my game, I would appreciate it!
Thanks for taking the time and sharing feedback. Will check out Your game later!
