Such a cute retro feeling game, the easter eggs post game were funky too, loved the animations of the elementals, I want them irl

Nice game with a simple concept. Took a while to work out the controls, and the puzzles were on the easier side. One improvement I'd say would be to have a prompt on each level that introduces something new off to the side like ("Larger flames can kill the fireman" or "Use the Arrow Keys to move") just to aid with mechanics

Nice little concept, reminds me of Geometry Dash but with a twist, would like to see this took further with more polish (maybe even target mobile platforms). One issue left me bouncing forever in a straight line though when i went through a block

Cute simple game, although the name worried me before playing 😂, managed to get all the way through without much struggle though. Laser boys are a little strong, and broke the visuals. The path the kids took flickered and the audio was a little overpowering. Loved that you could move the towers as and how you please though

I beat it (i think) went back to the menu after a big guy died, concept was nice, would've liked to see more weapon variation

Very atmospheric game with an interesting story with potential. It could be a personal preference, but I feel handling movement with the mouse would have made the game better to control, A/D turning became more of a battle with obstacles than anything, and the first guard who rescues you trapped me in the room until i could slowly push him out the way. That aside interesting, and spooky looking entry

Thanks for the feedback, really wish i'd got the stagger mechanic in place, just ran out of time unfortunately

Very simple but easily scalable concept, the possibility for more paintings and level layouts could be endless with the current theme, could have done with something somewhere saying to click on the art stand, as it was the last thing i tried to press, first being the robots, then the walls, before finally finding where my towers were, and a sound slider too, audio is so loud. Those aside, game was enjoyable 

Thanks for the feedback, the basic starter sword is around 1 stamina bar to kill depending on which stats the zombies choose to scale, but once an enemy drops a better sword, you'll be seeing them die much faster, as well as consume less stamina, also difficulty matters in that regard too, glad you liked the ambience

Very well thought out concept, was left confused a few times since the Gun store wasn't visible from the spawn point so I found myself lost at the start, and when i did find him, the game made me instantly want the other guns in the store. After getting to the church the priest refused to leave the doorway of the church, walking in circles instead, leading to me killing the monster with bullets without anyone dying and without completing any objectives in the in the mission.

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback from stream massively

Fun simple game with simple progression, I'd like to have seen a bit more variety in the upgrades, the couple times i'd played the game kept forcing me to slow my fire rate which made it impossible to progress, all while wanting to boost my fire rate to make it more "bullet hell" looking. Also would've liked to have my audio settings saved, got my ears soundblasted twice 😉

I saw that in a stream of the game just, i'll have to look into that, not sure what the cause is though, glad you enjoyed the concept

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed your looter experience! I did want to tailor the barrier system with trees and other physical elements but didn't get time to, haven't seen "idle" zombies in my testing, i'll have to look into that

Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked the game. That delay was one of the things i wish i'd managed to balance out better, but didn't have time to in the end, feedback was also unfortunately dropped for the same reason. Would definitely have a health bar if i had more time, probably one similar to those seen in souls games

Thanks for the feedback, the waiting was a balance issue, if I put them much closer you'd be able to see them spawn, and they'd often swarm the player too quickly even on easy, so I had to put them further away, in future I'd probably put a closer wave exclusively for the first wave to prevent the downtime. And I do agree with the font, but it was my last change made before the build and I just wanted to get off of default font 😂

Thanks for the feedback, as you've probably read I did want combat feedback but time caught up with me, and as for the enemy spawn distance it was a consequence of balance. Put them too close and extra waves overwhelm even on easy, and the player sees them spawn, put them further away and the player has nothing to do for a while 

I did, and it despawned the angel, but I then ran straight off to find the shrooms, when there was lots of the other enemy, I tried to run back to the altar assuming it was a generic safe zone, using what the start taught me, just to die anyway, 

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad the art and looting were well received, and glad you enjoyed the game loop

Thanks for the feedback! I did plan on adding staggers to enemies with a souls-inspired poise system, but couldn't quite add it in time with the time constraints, had it all in but the code, would definitely be something I'd be focused on in future jams as that's been the core area of feedback so far

Thank you for the feedback! I had planned to have a stagger and audio system in the game to show enemies were being hurt, everything but the code to cause a stagger is actually present in the files but time got to me and it was one of the core features that never made it to release, thank you for the high praise, glad you liked it!

Amazing attention to detail, especially when your allies die, love the story too especially being based in reality, great submission

I've been going through them since i woke up, here's my solo entry if you'd like to give it a go

Simple fun game, reminds me of the classic days of flash games being all the rage

Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad the art is well received as it's my first time doing my own art for any game projects I've undertook

Love the art style, and the theme is nice too, the controls were the only section that was a bit frustrating to me, no diagonal movement and not being able to change direction without letting go of previous input was a little frustrating, and the same with having to attack in your movement direction. Overall only minor issues, could have a lot of fun climbing a leaderboard with this style of game

Very fun little game, the time between waves was far too short for the minigame, but the gameplay loop was entertaining and could make for a good game for a leaderboard

Answer... right here of course ;)

Simple but sweet, could see potential for a game like this to go multiple directions. Biggest issue was the lack of feedback on interactions. Would have loved to see some kind of progression to the game too, maybe upgrades could spawn from destroyed statues to balance a progressive difficulty system

Really liked the theme and the mechanics behind the entry, would love to have seen something that lets me upgrade my spell, something inspired by the hades upgrade system would suit this game perfectly in my opinion, whilst keeping the "one spell" theme in place by only modifying what you have rather than giving more. Overall a really fun experience

Had a lot of fun this jam, it's not as complete as i wanted, but I'm happy with what I'd got, especially going it solo doing art and programming

Really liked the Aesthetics of the game, the camera effect on the game was nice. Mechanically though the game felt misleading in places, the initial statement and the despawn of the "angel" for reaching the altar makes it seem like a safe place in general which obviously isn't the case, and the salt felt far too weak for the amount you get. Additionally when you reach the end you can still die and get the game over message despite being unable to defend yourself. As a whole the entry feels like a really nice base which could be built up to make for an interesting light horror game

Really simple but addictive game mechanics, from what i played it felt complete. Biggest issue I had was the click vs. drag controls, with some actions requiring a hold and some requiring a tap it felt a little inconsistent

Here's mine, hope you enjoy it!

Here's what i worked on, went for some unique mechanics this time around

https://zkyle.itch.io/necrofear-apocalypse

Interesting base, would be interested to see where the gameplay would lead with further development

Tried to launch web build multiple times, but it hangs on the unity loading icon, really like the concept, takes for a very unique twist on the theme

Love the retro feel of the game, would've liked to see support for alternate controls as this game could make for a great one hand game with wasd controls, also an auto-fire would've been nice too, my finger hurts from pressing space too much. 

As for the games enemies, sometimes they travelled faster up the screen than my lasers did so i could never hit retreating enemies, good variety of enemies however, would've liked to see some noticeable scaling as time progresses too

I see what you mean, it looks a lot darker than on the machines I tested on, I'll definitely have to look into features that make it easier to see on more devices, thanks for showing me the issue 😊
