How does your game fit the theme?
Our game fits the theme by incorporating a dynamic "calm before the storm" element. Throughout the game, players experience moments of tranquility and peace, where they can fully immerse themselves in the game's environment and story. These serene periods are intentionally designed to contrast with the impending challenges or conflicts, creating a sense of anticipation and tension. The player’s task is to maintain this calm and manage resources or make strategic decisions to prevent the situation from escalating into chaos. This interplay between tranquility and turmoil not only enhances the gameplay experience but also aligns perfectly with the theme of balancing peace with the threat of disruption.

It is a cool concept and I think the zoomed in perspective adds a bit to the nerve racking feeling of being chased by zombies, however I think it would be better to have a zoom out feature so players can know where exactly the cameras cover and plan accordingly! Overall cool game :D
Was a bit hard to control with the close camera, but I like how you set the player up, and I could immediately understand the goal. Cool art too. Congrats!
intro theme is an absolute bop. like the idea of breaking and entering, but with zombies - woulda loved for the camera to be a bit more zoomed out though
Unique name, love the little simple puzzles! The art is very nice of the character and zombie.
Love classic music in games haha, I'm a classy guy! Nice game with more polish this could be a very good puzzle game I think xD.
I am not so sure if this game really fits the theme, but it was rather good. A short and fun game is always welcome!
Nice game. I managed to get it first try. I’m not too convinved that this follows the theme of the jam quite enough but beside that, it’s fun and the art is great. Would love to see a harder version of this game to challenge me. I feel like making it night and a creepier music would have fit the zombies and cameras better
Cool game about running away from Zombies and breaking into strangers' homes.
Hee-ho. Interesting idea, good gameplay, but I have issue with HUD position on screen during open cases (Buttons hit boxes don't match with pictures)
I like the way the perspective is done. The camera being so zoomed in makes sneaking around really tense.
Great game, congrats!
I actually really like this game. I found the bird's eye view camera to be very unique and interesting, The music and visuals are also really good. The game is a little buggy but overall good game!
Really nice work, I love it
love the build up and was looking forward to playing, but after clicking on the safe box it got stuck on the number screen and i couldn't escape :/
There was a problem with the resolution, but with other resolutions or browser i guess it's ok
Nice game. I like top-down games. You could enhance your visuals 'cheaply', with some postprocessing (vignette, some bloom, ..). and 2D lights.
I like the music, but did not think it fit well with the game, or was it supposed to be diegetic ?
Overall that was fun to play, not too long, a bit too easy but fine.
Keep it up.
It was fun and nice because the difficulty wasn't too difficult. I loved the music as well. I'm looking forward to the next one
That was quite fun :) made it all the way to the end.
The visuals were nice, the audio was good and it played well, great job!
I really like the art style
I really liked the story you made. also very fun evading the zombies and trying to get around them
the game had potencial for sure, but there are features not well implemented and it feels a bit rudimentary at times. I've played the browser version so it might be the reason behind some bugs i found
heyy! thanks a lot for reviewing my game! I’m glad you see its potential. i appreciate your insights and understand that some features may not be as polished as they could be, and that the browser version might have introduced some bugs. i’m working on improving these issues and making the game better. your feedback means a lot, and I really appreciate your support!
