I feel like this is the bones of something a lot more in-depth. There was no music, sadly, but the rest of the sounds were on point. Although I wish the skeletons made some sort of noise so that you'd know they were there. Also, something to show your score or what wave you lived to when you died (or a high score screen) would have been a nice touch. Not bad.

I will say that I had a couple of problems with the game, first the screen didn´t resize properly to fit my monitor so the text and instructions on how to play cut off and I couldn´t really read it. Secondly, the sensitivity of the mouse was waaay to much and it made it hard to look around and evade enemies. I do think having a settings option would´ve solved this issues. But I did like the aesthetic and it also looked fun! Sadly I couldn´t really play it well.

Sorry to hear about these issues :(

I admit, the UI elements were not compatible with all devices (It was meant for 1920x1080 resolutions). I did end up figuring out a solution for it and will update it after the voting period ends.

There were settings for the sensitivity however, if you press esc on the game scene you could adjust it to your liking!

Thanks for the feedback, hopefully you'll come back to it in the future!

This was fun! I really loved the aesthetics of the game, reminded me a little bit of Minecraft in how it looked. It felt festive and I feel the horror comes from hoping you can find what you need before something starts smacking you. I do wish there was an option to change the game resolution; the game was too wide on my screen, so I couldn't actually see what button did what. I was haphazardly pressing/clicking everything and somehow made it to round 5. I'm keeping this one to get better at it, because it's the perfect game to destress to when I need it. Good job. :)

Thanks! Voxel art so much more simple to me than re-learning blender. I'm still searching for an art-style I'm comfortable with. I'm sorry about the resolution, I found out about the issue 2 hours before the jam had ended and could not come up with a fix off the bat. I'm glad you enjoyed it, looking forward to your game as well!

I wouldn't worry too much. That made it funnier for my first try of it. I was like 'okay, E is normally the interact button.... OH GOD IT DOES NOTHING AND I JUST LOST HEALTH!" THAT was a definite panic moment. :)

Fun game! Loved the idea of having to dig up graves for ammo/health, got to round 7!
Would like to have some more enemies and maybe more guns if you are going to keep on working on it!

Thanks for the feedback! I was planning to add some sort of crossroads demon boss ~wave 10 but didn't have enough time unfortunately. Glad you enjoyed it!
