Game looks and plays great, but has a bit of difficulty curve that makes it hard to pass a certain point. If there were some way of making the player better like power-ups or a movement ability I think it would be slightly better, I had a fun time with it though and I'm not the one developing it so its not up to me what to add.
Cool idea, I think it takes a while to ramp up in difficulty, but once it does, it becomes pretty intense. I think in the first few minutes the pace is a bit too slow since the enemies are still relatively weak depending on what you choose. I also feel like a movement mechanic of some kind would really add more strategy to the gameplay. However, I like that you are presented with choices for what to upgrade, it requires some thought based on what you have already chosen. The sprites look awesome, I think you chose a great color palette for your game! Nice work!
Great concept, nice polish!
With more time to add more varied / engaging upgrades this could be a fantastic game. Well done
Nice gameplay loop and very well polished!
Ideas if you want to expand:
- More zombies with different move patterns.
- A bigger map and a "upgrade" that add obstacles to the map.
Interesting concept! I had a ton of fun, this was so addicting!
This is incredible! I really like the fact that you have to power-up your enemies instead of you! In future builds you can also put the option to decrease your fire rate or increase your reload time.
Good job!!!
We're concept-mate in this jam !! I really liked your approach on the theme with a more gameplay wize idea to the concept of inversed roguelike. Great job.
This is a fun concept and an easy way to wrap your head around the reversal.
Handsome! i love this type of game after a while you get into a flow and the game gets even better!
Great concept! Enjoyed it a lot. survived 4:14
Really unique take on the theme, when the first "upgrade" screen came up I was confused but then I realized what direction you took the theme :D great entry
Nice concept and I like the art style! Definitely has potential to be developed into a full game in the future. Maybe you can twist things up even further and add upgrades as well for a more complex gameplay
Reqlly enjoyqble! The blocky pixel art and the sound effects really bring the game to life.
Very well done! Cool new concept.
