Unfortunately there are a lot of bugs.
but the idea in general is good.
Please don't take it the wrong way. i only want to help.
John! Thanks so much for trying out our game and giving us all of that feeback wow thank you!
Thanks again for your feedback! It helps us make better games.
Maybe it's better to show you.
I hope that helps.
Wow!! Thank you for making this, this is fantastic.
Much bigger difference between reading about bugs and watching them. Also we get to watch your Gameplay and really understand what you're experiencing!
Ok I see what you're saying about the zombies being hard to kill. They are moving too fast and the bullets are not connecting with the zombies. Shooting them while in the hole makes things a lot more difficult as they will circle around you.
When out of the hole they will run directly forward towards you and that way is much easier to headshot or bodyshot them 4-5 times.
Thanks for sharing this, I'll take a look at it with Tarzand and we'll make some fixes.
Do you mind if I play the video on my twitch stream?
That might be true, when you stay in the hole it is harder to kill them ,but i can take as much time as i need, cause it has no consequence when i stay in the hole.
What i want to say is, it feels like cheating to me, maybe it's better when the usage of the healing is limited by a number or the zombies drop some kind of health pickup. Then the player is forced to move around. Just a thought tho
And i don't mind when you show this video on your Twitch stream
Great game with interesting back story,Such good graphics!I hope you like my game too!
Thanks CloudyDev! We really appreciate your feedback!
Checking out your game now
Great work with working in the 3D space! Your models are amazing. Clever double use of the shovel as well!
Thanks nightworks!! Yes we wanted to use it as a weapon and a digging tool :D You got me thinking... maybe I can create some new tools/weapons with double uses!
I really like the atmosphere and the building + zombie models. I will say I had some problems figuring out what to do, and I also ran into the dying on restart bug.
Sorry you ran into that bug. We thought we had fixed it before submission :(
Thanks for your nice comments! We wanted the game to be a bit challenging, and for players to replay the game once or twice to figure out what to do! But I may add some better story/pop up tips. Thanks again YosemiteMark!
Graphics are great! The visual for being hit is a very nice touch. At first I wasn't sure I was actually hurting the zombies until they eventually died. I thought there might be other weapons in the holes! Great job!
Thanks so much for your feedback Jayometric!
Good point about "feedback" for the player's attacks. I'll make a note and update it in a future version.
More weapons - definitely coming in a future update. Thanks again!!
Great game with interesting back story and unique mechanics. Nice job!
Thanks so much for your comments Stefan!!
Unfortunately I also had the bug where every time reset I would immediately die again. I like your emphasis on story! And shovels are my favorite weapon.
Thanks for playing and your feedback Michigan!! I wish that bug didn't happen. I hope someone can win the game!
I'm sorry Canada. If you end up fixing it please upload it somewhere so I can try it again!
If you exit and re-enter the game it should work! We will post an updated version soon on the page. Thanks for your support 😃
Very fun game. If you stay in the pit you will be immortal and you can kill an endless zombie.
Good job!
Thanks for playing! haha yes it's true.. but if you stay in the holes, then you can't win the game!
Thanks again LarsSolozzo
Bit buggy ^^ After I died once every time I reset I die. Also needs a bit of explanation what to do. Looks interesting :) keep it up
Hi! Thanks for letting us know what happened. We are currently working on a fix.
I don't want to give away too much but if you read the story in the main menu then you might get some hints on what to do. There are even some hints that popup as you do things in the game! I'd love to know if you win the game. Thanks again!
Models are amazing. Zombies... Great work. But I didn't like tha main menu. Goog job.
Can you please rate us ?

Thanks for the feedback elcinkilix! Checking out your game now
The game's graphics are superb and the music goes well with the game. Controls are smooth. An awesome game.
WOW! Thanks so much for your positive feedback! We worked hard on the game and we are super happy that you enjoyed it!
game has nice polished graphics and snappy controls.
good job!
Thanks for your nice comments Happy-lisper! Appreciate it!
The game is pretty cool. You get a bug where you have to restart the game; you die and try to respawn or even go to main menu and play. Your health gets drained to 0 quickly every time you respawn. You have to restart the game to fix it temporarily.
Hi Atticus! Thanks for playing our game and for your feedback. Yes we tried to use time.Time to affect the health of the player, and we even tried to use TimeSinceLoad.. but it still doesn't seem to work on reload. We will try to use the animator on a fixed timer. Unless maybe you have another idea to cause damage over time?
the game trow an error at the begining
i think it's the mouse
any way good game
graphics are good and 3d models are well made
good work
