You are acting as the guard of the theater entrance. A zombie apocalypse is going on outside, but that doesn't matter to you as long as you keep getting paid. Check potential customers for wounds, interrogate them. You let zombies in, you lose money.

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Extra Notes
There is some swearing and vicious mockery, so go in being aware of that.

This was a very unique take on the theme! I loved the gameplay and was surprised by how good the music and sound design was for a jam game. Well Done! Would love if you could give my game a try too. PS I would totally play a full version of this game on mobile.

Really appreciate the feedback! The main composer on this game was very happy to hear what you had to say as well. The idea has crossed our minds to make this into a full game eventually, but only time will tell.

Running a business in the post apocalypse it truly a very Imaginative theme. Very interesting.

Man that music was great! Hat's off to the music guy! Catchy and not repetitive! I like the simplicity of the interactions and the banter as well when you interact with the customers. Sometimes the customers interaction didnt work unfortunately, I just had to go off whether or not there was some red pixel blood on them or not. Which seemed to work just fine. So perhaps there could be more difficulty with someone who doesn't show  outward signs of zombiness so that you do have to interrogate them first. Very cool concept, great job!

Hey, I appreciate the feedback! Your idea of "difficulty with someone who doesn't show outward signs of zombiness" is a great one. We were hoping to add something similar to what you're referring to onto our game, but we ended up running out of time and improvising needed to take place. If we do end up digging this project out  of our archive to make a full game eventually, there is so much more we wish to add to it.
