I really enjoyed this game. I liked the movement, gunplay, and everything felt smooth. My problems with the game: you can fall off the edge, no health indicator, spawn indicators for zombies are too small, zombies are too fast, zombies blend in too well, and there weren't any sounds. Weirdly, the music fits really well. (Also, I like the background)

Submitted

Really fun to play. I played it like 8 times trying to increase how long I could survive. The Zombie band in the background was amazing

Submitted

This game reminded me of black ops zombies, and how each wave more spawned. I thought this was well put together, although the zombies kind of ran a bit quickly once they got close to you. I thought the band of zombies in the background was a great touch. 

Submitted

This was a pretty cool and creepy concept, love the band in the background. I liked how the rounds got harder each time. It would be cool if there were more enemies and a count for the score. It was fun to play, Great job!

Submitted

The huge zombie band is funny lol. I had a great time playing this game. What I also like about this game are the rounds, it gets harder and harder with each round while having limited ground to move on. Well done on the game!

Submitted

This game was awesome, I loved the zombie band. It felt like an old arcade shooter that I would sink hours into as a kid. What I would add for future game is maybe sound effects for the weapon so there is an indication that you are firing the weapon.

I had so much fun with this game! I loved seeing the giant character models singing to the song in the background. The game was chaotic, fast paced, and worked so well with the theme. Something i think would be really cool to add in is a score or high score counter. Awesome job!

Submitted

The very first thing I did was run into the lava.  Oops.

Count me among those who liked the giant band.  The dancing vocalist monster dominated my attention for the first few times I played, and got me shoved into the lava another handful of times.

The big boys that spawn on 5 and 10 are honestly less menacing than the little basic zombies, though, which feels a bit backward from what I assume was intended.  If I had to pick something to grouse about, it would be the size of the reticle in the center of the screen.  If it were smaller, or had a bit of transparency, it would be much easier to pick off distant targets.

Cool little game that scales forever. Liked the band in the background and how hard it was to actually shoot the zombies while on the move.

Submitted

This definitely uses the theme creatively! I love everything about this game but my favorite aspects were the giant zombie band and how the game pacing was very in line with the song. Very thriller-y in a great way.

Submitted

Fast paced and very chaotic, so really fun! Loved the band and the "bosses" included every few levels. Had a weird issue with the camera continuously pulling downwards, making it harder to aim, but I don't know if this was intentional or just a bug or even just my hardware.

Submitted

Great game!! The band playing in the back was very cool. I liked how fast the zombies were, it was a challenge. The player movement was really smooth also.

Submitted

This game was really fun to play. I really enjoyed the monster band surrounding the stage. That was really funny. I'm not really great at shooting games but the controls were responsive and it felt good shooting the zombies. Great Job!!

Submitted

I think I made it too level 8, also the lava is a nice way of making it so you have to strafe a lot. I also like the guy play guitar.

I got up to about lvl 20 or something haha.  The shooting mechanic was good, you had less accuracy while moving which added to the challenge a lot.  I was pleasantly surprised to see how it kept scaling up, curious if it has an upper limit?

Developer(+2)

No limit, I just have it add 1 zombie each round and every 5 rounds spawn an extra big zombie.

A brilliant game but terrifying! Because I don't like horror movies a lot, and the animation is nicely done. Animation is my hobby, and I'm attached to it. It's a very powerful thing in my life.

This was such an awesome game!  Everything looked and felt really good, and I think the level of difficulty is just about perfect.  One suggestion for improvement would be incorporating some sort of menu screen rather than having the game start immediately.  It did seem a little fast-paced and too difficult to avoid the lava as well, but overall, I was really impressed.  Nice work!

Very fun game. The dancing singers were an awesome touch. Running into the lava felt bad, but other than that this game was great.

Submitted(+1)

I really liked it. Especially the things playing instruments in the background lol. Good Job overall though.

Ok, did not expect that lol. Had a very epic feel to it. I did fall off the map a few times while running :/. Not sure if that is intended space, but a barrier of some sort could be cool imo

Edit: I didn't realize that it was lava, that makes sense. My apologies!
