Based off watching MetalStorms Games stream playing it.
Fun game, like the look and feel of it, great start.
Well done!

Developer

Hey Peter, thanks for the feed back, think there may be something here but needs a lot of work still!

Submitted

Great game. Can maybe add options later if you plan on building on it, for key assignments. I personally would prefer mouse to space for attacking.  Needs some music. Love the bats, very very cool. Don't know if you intended it but they look like the Bat signal when you shoot in an up direction. Well done

Developer

Thanks for taking time to check and review, yeah bats were my "one thing awesome" that Rick talked about on his midway stream!

Not 100% intentional with te bats but a happy accident! :)

Welcome back 2021 jammer! Glad to see you're still making games :)

Like you said, you didn't get to put as much time into this as you would have liked. The core of the game looks solid though. Random rooms, kill zombies, and a sweet bat power. A little hit feedback for the zombies would have helped. Maybe less health on them, too? And clicking to attack instead of the spacebar would have helped. Spamming space on my mechanical keyboard felt great, but sounded terrible and took way too long. 

Next time make a game that's all about throwing bats at enemies. That was a very cool moment. 

Congrats on submitting despite your shortened timeline though. Hope to see you in future jams!

Thanks so much for taking time to check it out, yeah I am still at it when time permits!

Appreciate the  feed back!

Looks cool and game seems fun. I like the enemies even though its easy to confuse them. I think the combat could be improved coz its hard to move and fight them and it took me a while to figure out what keys to press to fight the enemies. Overall, epic.

You know what you need to do :)

Developer

Thanks Marcus, I do indeed :)

This had some pretty fun topdown action. I think a little tweaking and some impactful effects would help give it that little extra satisfaction. The blur on the character's movement was a little distracting to me, but that just might be personal preference.  I liked the artstyle's clean feel though. Congrats on the game overall!

Developer

Thanks for the review, agree on the effects and will take a look at the blur, as this wasn’t intended and didn’t really notice on my machine.

Really appreciate you taking the time to play!

Like the concept very much!  Finally I could put the vampire to sleep...  The bats attack is really cool, and the walls mechanic original!  

Like they said, some feedback of the level of the lives of the zombies would be nice.

Overall, a fun casual game!  Good work!

Developer

Thank you for taking a look, I agree it needs a lot more work and without the hit feedback it feels a bit flat!

Thanks for the kind review!

Hi, i liked the general conzept but like the others said a feedbacl on hiting enemies and more options in the menu would have been nice. My Character got stuck in a zombie and I could not move any more.

But still a nice Jam Entry. Good work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, the sticky element is intentional but needs explaining… if you “wiggle” you should be able to break free!

I did put keys on the page but will look to add them to the game it’s self when I get some time.

Space to slash attack 

E to release bat attack 🙂

Submitted

I like the idea you have here and art choices that match all the way through. I wish there was some visual feedback on the zombies getting hit and being hit. Damage numbers, flash of colour and knockback or something. Really cool to see this polished up!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback, time just got away from me (work and life etc.) will have a look at those elements when ai am allowed to make the changes!

Will take a look at your game when I return from work trip tomorrow.

Submitted

Nice looking project! You may want to throw in a quick menu system with a control HowTo, objective, and a Quit program button. Wasn't quite sure what to do.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I think I am allowed to make these tweaks so will have a look at this when I return home and have some time.
