It looks nice. It's quite fun shooting zombies

Good fun for a VR type game! Visuals were nice and it was a easy to understand game.

I can see this becoming a fully VR type game if you wanted to!

Developer

Thanks for playing on the stream, it was fun and valuable! I plan to update the game with a bit more polish and content, would love to hear your thoughts for the next version.

really impressive game.  firstly, the navigation system is so original (and a great use of minimal UI).  secondly, the way you use the flashlight in such a unique way (as a powering tool and as a weapon, instead of a traditional light source) is refreshing.  I would totally play more levels if you ever make them!

Thanks! I plan to work on the game a little bit more to add some more polish and content. I'll let you know and am curious about your opinion!

Nice little game. Liked the way to move in this game. Worked easy and smooth.
Short game (maybe a bit longer in an upcoming update would be nice with some extra goals/targets). 
Visual style was mixed, audio was ok.
ZERO UI and theme incorporated.
Very cool that you made it for paralyzed people to also play with eye-ball tracker! 
Well done for a game jam entry!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and for hosting this jam! I was just able to submit the game in the current state with current gameplay duration but I hope to make it more polished and longer.

Host

It was our pleasure to host and nice that you could just made it before deadline. If you update the game after you can always post in our discord server in the showcase channel to let us all know.

the game is great but the flashlight is somewhat useless because i can still see the dark

Developer

That's a great suggestion, I could make some rooms totally dark for extra scary atmosphere and that would make the flash light indeed more useful. Thanks for playing!

visuals look great but the low poly enviroment and player does not go well with the high poly zombies. the gameplay is kinda whack, i understand making it very simple for zero ui but asdw is litterely the basic movement. the shooting is annoying and the aimer isnt centered. the theme could be used so much better here, with other rooms lighting up as the generator turns on the the lights comming to life at the end. zero ui is good tho, but personaly i dont rly like subsituting dialogue with audio

Thank you for your detailed feedback! My idea is to make this game playable with an eye tracker at a later moment so for example people who are paralyzed from the neck down can still play this game. And I thought it somewhat fitted the no UI challenge as mouse and keyboard can also be seen as UI.

I also wanted to add more polish to the game such as room lighting up, but it was already a big challenge to make a working within the time I had.

I do not like killing and way move with WASD keys look like VR

Developer

Thank you for playing and the feedback. The game is meant to be played with an eye tracker so you can aim and shoot by only using your eyes. But I can understand this is less ideal when you could use mouse and keyboard instead.

As for me, some assets do not fit together and it does not look very good, but in general it's fine.
