The game effectively captures the gritty atmosphere of World War I trenches, blending zombie survival with the chaos of artillery fire. The setting and theme are well-executed, creating a tense and immersive experience. However, the game’s large file size can be cumbersome and could benefit from optimization. While the visuals and audio contribute to the mood, some technical issues may affect gameplay, such as performance and navigation challenges. Overall, it's a solid effort with an engaging concept and room for improvement.

Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts on my game if you get a chance! Thanks!

hi again! Nice game :) I enjoyed the music as it added the feeling for the athmosphere. The size of the game was big so I would optimise it so it is easier to play. Good luck!
