Amazing writing! The music is also very nice, for the one loop that it plays. :)

I want to love lil'Jim but... he frightens me more than the zombies. I mean, normally I like capybaras... there's just something unsettling about him...

What there is of the game is fun, but even though I unlocked a lot of health increases I couldn't actually see a health indicator anywhere. The radar is really helpful for noticing a zombie sneaking up on Jim, but limited enough in range to keep things tense rather than always knowing exactly where everything around you is.

Thanks! 

I agree with you about Lil' Jim, I think some people will love him and others will find him creepier than the zombies. Unfortunately, despite being his inventor, I am in the latter group. Fun fact: Lil' Jim was originally going to be a small red demon.

The health indicator is the ice cubes in the lemonade glass, when the ice has completely melted your health is gone. The lemonade is your XP bar, you level up every time you drink all of the lemonade. This was originally going to be explained through dialogue with the Grim Reaper (he was going to show up every time you leveled up so you could choose your upgrade) but unfortunately we ran out of time before we could add it. I'll add it to the game description.

Ah, I see! I recognized that drinking the lemonade indicated gaining XP so I didn't consider that the icon as a whole was also showing health at the same time. That's really clever, now that I know. :)

It's a shame you didn't have enough time for more words of wisdom from the Grim Reaper, I love his letters!

Really glad you enjoyed the game, that was exactly what I was going for with the minimap. At least lil_jim is a friend, unlike the jim_reaper >:)
