I love the switch from top down to sidescroller when in the bunker and in the city. I also love the VFX when a building obstructs you allowing you to literally see through it to your player. The inventory system is solid however the movement I was not a fan of at all. I also got momentarily confused because the inventory key is "I" but when I opened the zombie vendor's inventory with 'E', I could only get out of it by pressing the "I" key again which is very simple but caused me to get stuck for a good 30 seconds lol. Visuals are nice and zombie sounds are great! I love the mechanic with your zombie just he can be very sluggish making navigating the environment safely a task. In the time I played I only found 1 lootable container and I wasn't able to enter many buildings (If the entry was on a side of a building that wasn't camera-facing, this could be why I wasn't able to enter many buildings as I wasn't able to figure out where the entrances were). A very solid entry I liked the atmosphere a lot!
The top down perspective paired with the bunker works good together. The Idea with the zombie companion is nice.
Good Work!
Thanks dude :)
Cool game, I liked the idea of having the zombie with you to travel around safe
Thanks dude! I am happy you liked the game :)
I liked the idea of the game but the bugs in the UI ruined the experience. It's a type of game I'd really like to play again when it's more stable.
Hi! Thanks for the feedback :)
Could you tell me more about the UI bug you encounter? There is a bug when you die from starvation or lack of water where the stats are not reset after respawn, is that what you are talking about?
I can only see the upper left corner of the gamescreen.. you can take a look here:

my screen resolution is 1920x1080
Wtf! You are the first one to report this kind of problem! This is really weird! Sorry for the inconvenience
Oh! wait! on your second screenshot I can see that the game run at 1024x768. Have you tried to put the settings up to 1080p?
No, I tried to decrease the resolution but I couldn't because the button to save changes doesn't appear lol
This looks awesome. The controls are a bit odd with the mouse turning. The UI needs some improvement but overall works ok. It's cool seeing different packs combined this way though!
Good Job!
I am glad you like it :)
There are a lot of things I didn't had time to work on as much as I wanted like UI.
For control it is the result of adding features over time, it messes with my original plan for control :)
I LOVE topdown games!! I thought this was a really cool concept and I can tell you have more plans to take this further... I hope you do!
I am glad you liked it :)
I think I have a good idea going on in this game, I am taking few days off to think if I should push the concept farther or not :)
Pretty cool idea, however the UI seems to just get stuck sometimes, and once you die without any food in your inventory it's just a cycle of dying over and over.
The idea of having a zombie accompany you to keep you safe is pretty good and on point for the theme of this JAM.
Damn I thought I had fixed fix bug!
Thanks for the feedback :) I hope you had some fun too :)
