THIS. WAS. AWESOME. I LOVE IT. Seriously, I mean it when I say this was absolutely the game from this jam I spent the most time playing out of all the other ones so far, and I didn't even realize it. You deserve so many more ratings!! :'D Def more than I got! This is so good!! Watching the zombies ragdoll was so funny every time. Definitely a game I'd love to play to unwind at the end of the day. I'm clumsy so I only made it to Night 3, but I'd love to grind to get all the upgrades eventually! This is great!!

Developer

omg, thank you!

Thank you so much! Did you only figure out you could dig later on? Maybe I should have made it more clear.

Darn, Thank you so much for telling me! That's like the main function of the game lol.

Good game. Our hits, (and sometimes the movement) feels a little off, though.

I wish there was a melee/block function as well; but that is hot off the heels of an "almost" complete (upgrades) run.

I liked the way the armor worked - You will need it after a few waves, and contrary to the other upgrades, you need to re-buy each tier as you lose them, with their original pricing. Will you get yourself protected, or trust your skill (and risk everything), and max your other upgrades?

GG!

Developer

Thank you so much for the thorough review! 

I made the zombies get difficult fast, so a block function would’ve been nice. My last jam was a melee game with a block actually lol! I just had already bound right click to dig.

Submitted(+1)

Hmm. How about having those actions context-sensitive? i.e. Left click both attacks and digs (or something along those lines?)? Or binding it to say, middle mouse button?

Developer(+1)

That could work. Melee and Dig could both be left click, depending on if you click a zombie or the sand.

Wow! I loved this game! The idea is great and the change of pace between day/night is just on point! Well done!

Developer

Thank you! I tried to give the player just enough time to get ready for the night.
