Having a shotgun while watching paint dry really kills the time! I enjoyed this game quite a bit, but it crashed when I got too OP. I think the premise would make for a great VR game. Good work!

Fun shooting the zombies. Made watching paint dry much more fun.

I wasn't sure if I had to have the paint dry screen loaded for it to progress, but I kept switching back and forth just in case. 

Nice work.

Firstly: I downloaded the game, and it works fine locally. You should probably tick the checkbox that says "This file will be played in the browser", and your game will show up on the webpage, which will make it easier for people to play. 🙂

I like the concept! "Watching paint dry" was the very first thing I thought of when the theme was revealed, and I thought it would be funny, but I couldn't think of anything I could actually make for a game. This is a great interpretation of that! The rouge-like addition was clever.

I think it could be better explained that you have to click on the enemies with your mouse. I thought you just had to aim the shotgun and it would hurt all the enemies in its path. Also, I played on Easy and it sometimes feels like I can't shoot fast enough to actually kill the enemies, so there might need to be some tweaking of the gun damage, fire rate, and/or enemy health.

Good submission!

If you're talking about making the game playable in the web browser, go to your game's page, click "Edit game", then underneath your game file you uploaded, click the "This file will be played in the browser" option. Here's a picture of what mine looks like, for comparison:

When you go to your game page, you should then be able to play it in the browser.

If this doesn't work, then I'm afraid I won't be able to help, since I haven't used Scratch in over ten years and I never put those games on Itch.

thank you and I will try that have a good day

yeah I dont think it works for scratch files

it needs to be named "index.html", if there are multiple files, put the all in a zip file, but the web page must still be "index.html"
