Nice little game! The concept is great and I hope that you will continue developing the gamee because I think this could be GREAT!
You made an interesting mechanism and setting. I LOVE the music and the general ambient and feel of the game.
There is a zombie that appears from the ground like in a zombie movies!
Good job!
thank you :) the Zombie that comes from the ground is actually a bug but im glad you liked it anyways
Concept of the last tree was kind of cool :-)
The music doesn't really fit the theme of a "post apocalyptic world".
It was strange because sometimes even taking care of Zombies and then going for water was not giving any chance a zombie was always coming to eat the tree.
Would have liked to see what happens if you give enough water to the tree :-)
I like the simplicity! It was interesting to have to decide whether to keep going away from the tree to find water or turn around to protect the tree.
As others have said, definitely room for improvement. I didn't dislike the opening text, but the way it scrolled in made it very hard to read.
The way the text shows is actually a bug, i just had to do so much other stuff that i didn't managed to fix it in time.
It's quite an eh game, there are a lot of parts of the game that can be changed and improved upon. The long text dump at the start should be skipped over, or at least shortened to like a piece of paper that can be skipped. The music didn't feel very fitting, SFX was also REALLY loud. The player moves really slowly, and there is no indication on whether or not the tree is being attacked. This game has lots of potential, the idea is there.
Yes I know, i overscoped this project a bit, thanks for the honest feedback though, it will help me improve the game :)
Interesting concept! A danger indicator for the tree and making the player faster could help this be more fun. Nice job!
The music is really cool! I really like the concept, but I feel like the character is too slow. I would like to see this kind of game with more time to work, it would be great. Well done!
Im already working on a patch to make something not impossible and fun out of this idea, i will release it after the rating phase
I liked the story in the beginning and the art, but sadly my the zombies always ate my tree when I was away.
Overall I liked it
This is a cool story I must admit you can write a fantasy book around it.
As for the gameplay - if you let the player move around most of the time, give the player some speed so it won't feel tedious.
Well done!
i liked art, music and idea.
But it was boring and i didn;t know when and were zombies will show... so they just showed up next to tree and ate it?
Reallyi i have patroled so near the tree that it shouldn't be possible for them to pass me ;(
Hi, I think I figured out why people keep losing even though it seems that there is no zombie around. So in development i had this one zombie to test the zombie behavior and whenever i wouldn't use it i placed it a bit under the map, and i think what happened is, that i forget to delete this zombie so that he sometimes comes out of the earth and eats the tree. Im really sorry for that bug. I will make the best out of it though, the zombies name is now steven and he is a stealth zombie which was mutated using mole genes. (cause everyone knows, when its part of the Lore its not bad game design xD)
yeah im sorry too :)
but it happens during jams!
Gritting to Steve!!
real cool game but i think it will be better if you were faster
This game is easy to understand. For me, it's a little slow too and I don't understand why zombies eat tree. Haha.
the Zombies eat tree because the zombie apocalypse began in a laboratory where scientists tried to genetically modify a virus. And while doing that they Also added Beaver genes to a deadly virus to make it more water resistant. The next night a scientist sneaked into the facility and stole one virus to sell it to a northkorean terror group. This one virus was the one with the beaver genes. Unfortunately though the terrorists immediately used the virus and set it free in New York city. The virus spread instantly and after a short while the whole world was infected. Unfortunately the Virus had the side effect to reawake the ones who had died to it. These People are the Zombies and the beaver genes caused them to eat all the trees they would find. Thats why the tree in the game is the last one on earth and the zombies are trying to get this last tree now too.
Thanks for the inspiration my game has LORE now lol
I loved this bonkers story of zombies trying to eat the last tree!!! I also loved the art and atmosphere, the game icons were immediately recognizable (water, ammo, etc) and the idea of venturing out for supplies while also keeping an eye on the tree is a really interesting gimmick. My only issue is that zombies appear way too suddenly from the opposite side and the player doesn't move fast enough to be able to protect the tree for longer than a couple minutes. A neat little game of chicken with zombies, haha. Great game!
Hi thanks for the feedback, im currently working on a patch which i will release after the jam rating period. This patch will include for example sprinting for faster movement and a warning when zombies get near the tree. I hope this will fix some of the issues that the game has currently
Edit: the patch is finished now i will upload it as soon as the rating phase ends
Interesting concept. I didn't play it for very long (~5 mins), but I liked the game anyway!
It seems a lot of people find it slow, but I though it was fitting for the "deadland" theme ^^
Only major problem: the player doesn't know when a zombie has spawned, and/or is eating the tree, making game-overs feel random. There could be, for instance, a gauge to show how much the tree is being eaten: if the tree's HP go down, we know there's a problem and must go back immediatly.
Good job nontheless for this submission!
wow a person who thinks the games speed is good? are you a bot xD? The idea with the indication is very good, if I update this game sometime i will definitely do that, thanks for the feedback
A b-bot?! Wh-what do you mean, fellow human? I, too, enjoy fun activities, like actvt_id_47:video-games.
Glad I could provide some feedback!
Too small a camera size for a game where I need to see so much. Would have worked better as a top-down survival shooter/ base building game. Also, dubstep? Really? Haha.
yes, dubstep xD
Reminds me of the flash game Nuclear plant. Gameplay was a little slow for my liking and the intro was long. Good concept and game dude.
Im not sure but im starting to think that many people thought the speed was to slow and the intro was to long XD
i really have to make sure that my next is game faster, thanks for the feedback though
very nice muzic. the gameplay it s a lil boring but overall asolid game
Aside from the intro being long, I found the movement to be too slow. I did enjoy the game though and the concept is good too - nice job!
I really like your style of game and think the idea is original.
I wont reiterate everyone elses points but the game is really cool, the art really fits the mood and the music is very hype!
