- Cool game! Although the power ups seem way too expensive, I could only start affording them after about 5 rounds at which the items I purchased had already become largely ineffective to the increasing difficulty. I also don't really see how this game plays into the theme, nothing really spreads.

Was confused at the start. got the hang of it and started having fun. I would tune down the gold earned (or increase the cost of health) as it felt like there was no consequence to taking damage. Loved the COD zombie's feel. Well done
Thanks for playing! I agree, the money/health isn't balanced really well. I initially had an idea where you'd have to save up to buy something big to win, but ended up not having time to fully finish that. I'm glad you enjoyed!!
Hey congrats on your game!
Played it for a bit and it was smooth.
If anything, I would have the player start with the gun instead of the repair tool.
Thanks for playing! You're right about that too, I might change it before the deadline
