Really cool design!  It is a fun twist on a tower defense game.  I picked up the hammer very early and couldn't put it down until a fence broke haha.  It was fun so I tried again and did a lot better!  Cool graphics and sound too. Great job submitting a game to the jam!  Please check out mine when you have time :)

Really cool, I wish there was a sound effect for picking up the ammo and scrap metal as sometime I was waiting before I realised it was done.  I also ran into some issues trying to mend fences, the character would pick up ammo on the way and then get confused. 

Developer

Yeah I plan to add more sounds as well as a target marker showing where the player is on route to currently so you can visually see it. Thanks for playing it and leaving feedback.

Amazing hope to see where it will go as a full game

Developer

Thank you

I got a high score of 13700!

At the beginning of the game I think it's too easy as you never have to repair any fences and all you have to do is run around and give ammo to each of the towers.

I really like the 3D models but I think the text could be polished a bit.

I feel like it gets quite repetitive. I'm not sure if this would completely solve the problem but upgrades/purchasing reinforcements might help with this.

Developer

Thanks for trying, everything you said is very fair and were on my list of things to do but I had to limit it to have something playable for the submission. I plan on fixing it up after though.

It seemed pretty fun but I kept running into issues with the pathfinding that made it a little bit unplayable...

Developer(+1)

Yeah it got a bit sketchy as I had to redo the pathfinding completely today when i found out the pathfinding I made did not work in WebGL. Thanks for the feedback and for trying it out.

Ooo nice, I like it! Wish I could explore the surrounding environment. It looks pretty cool!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for trying it and the feedback.

Great game, and I might be daft for saying this... but are there holes?

Developer

The idea is to repair the holes in the fences that the zombies make trying to get in, I planned to make it much more obvious but due to time constraints I didnt get to everything.

Great Game, the guns shooting in time with the music sounded cool. With a bit more polish I could totally see this being like overcooked but with zombies! haha

Developer

Thank you for trying it out, I do plan on carrying forward with it and maybe make it a mobile game.

Unique & fun premise, but I've got 2 main issues:

  1. The beginning rounds are way too easy, to the point where they might as well not be there as it's just busywork.
  2. The zombies sometimes get stuck in the towers and the player doesn't seem to have path-finding, which means you manually have to click a path by the tower sometimes.
Developer

Thanks for the feedback

Its fun! I got really bad skills for this game..
Try to add post processing, it can a little bit boost your game's graphics! :)

Developer

Thanks. Yeah I need to work on post processing and shaders. Thanks for trying it out.

Really fun game! Got a score of I think 40,000 I lost track since I was running around the map a lot, really enjoyable!

Developer

Thanks, I am trying to get a High score working before the deadline as well but not sure on that one yet.

Developer

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it
