Without my friends I wouldn´t be able to kill that many zombies and survive for so long. Great game!

Thank you

The games a little too simple and easy, but it's really satisfying for a couple of minutes which I guess is fine for a jam game, but I genuinely just didn't feel challenged. Not one I'm rushing to replay, but fun for what it is.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback

Simple yet fun.

The friends could probably use some feedback like a visible health bar and hurt sounds when they're hurt, to show that they can actually die. I actually got the impression that they're invincible before being proven wrong brutally.

Also, good job on making everything by yourself during the jam.

Developer

Thanks. Yeah I wasn't sure how to show the friends healthbars. When you gather a lot of them it becomes cluttered with health bars everywhere.

4950! That was a really great one, I loved the concept, it's a good mix between the theme and vampire survivors !

Developer

Thanks!

Wow, that were a lot of zombies and no frame rate drop, impressive. Also the game balance was excellent. Did you use DOTS or gameobjects?

Developer

Its all using gameobjects. There are some performance problems that I have found and fixed already once you start getting up into the 10,000s of zombies. It would definitely benefit from using DOTS though.

That was a blast to play! Love the cute pixel animations and had a lot of fun picking up allies to help rack up kills. Keep up the good work!

If you wouldn't mind giving my game a play and rate too, it would be very much appreciated!

Very fun game, could you please rate my game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1680919 ?

Got 4792! Very fun entry! 

I liked the screen shaking when you shot, but the sound of firing was too low so it felt lacking. I can understand you didn't make every gun firing very loud because the game would be just a mess of continuous shooting, but maybe the gun of the main character could have a bit more of juice by sound.

The shotgun guys fell like the most overpowered ally, if you have the luck of getting a lot earlier on it seems to make the game easier. Although after 3000 you're pretty set to die soon. The progression felt good enough though!

Developer

You're right. The sound was a mess at first with gun shots just being amplified. I toned everything down probably a bit too far.

Fun game. I like the take on the theme with your friends being useful  and actually needed to survive longer

Developer

Thanks

Hey, Another game about guys with guns dressed in red and blue killing zombies together! Loads of fun!

Developer

Thanks. That's funny, nice job!

Submitted(+1)

Trailblazing a bunch of zombs never gets old. I like how helpful the friends you pick up actually are while still not being so helpful the game isn't challenging anymore.

Developer

Thanks

This was a really fun game! I really enjoyed the mechanic and thought your take on the theme was really interesting! it was a good break from the dozens of horror games that I've been playing through the past couple of days.

Developer

Thanks, I figured most people would be making horror games so I wanted to do something opposite.
