 I had a bug when the game restarted after dying that I couldn't see anyone and I was alone on the screen, I had to reload the browser. I hope it helps you to fix it. Other than that, it was a fun top-down shooter. Character animations were smooth. Good work!

Thanks for the feedback, bugs are what we are good at :D glad you enjoyed it.

Fun game, it reminds me of the Counter Strike zombie servers except from a birds eye view. I enjoyed turning into a zombie after dying although I felt like I'd die extremely quickly.  I did find a bug though. I ran out of ammo so I pressed the menu button, then pressed play. It reset my wave to 2 and erased all the zombies and soldiers, but my score continued to climb and I kept advancing to the next level.

thanks for the feedback and the bug report! there are definitely a few bugs and many features we wanted to implement but our time ran short. We will look to develop the game further though

I can't start the game; my browser crashes every time. Do you have any downloadable file that I can play?

Developer

Wow, I like this. It took me a while to realize I was meant to die xD I kept running for my life. Keep working on this game and it could shape up to be something amazing and addictive. Really good so far, and congrats on submitting!

Developer

that was fun.

i didn't feel too useful as a soldier cause i ran out of ammo, and then i felt even more useless as a zombie as i got mow down by 80 soldiers lol

Hahaha, I like the plot twist, I was kind of hoping for it when I saw other guards turning into zombies :D. I also like how the movement speed is different when you move backwards.

The part that was a bit confusing was your character uses the same colors as the other guards. It would be easier to read if your character has a different color, and his bullets are also a bit different.

Thanks for the feedback! Totally agree
