Did you use any existing assets? If so, list them below.
Yes, I used assets from a past personal project, as well as a bunch of 3D assets from free asset pack on itch.io. Music and SFX are also from free asset packs I found here on itch. I did all the code and put together everything. I would LOVE to list every single one of the talented creators that made all the assets, but I'm uploading this way too late in the morning (or too early) and I can bring myself to stay awake another hour or so to list them. I will, in the store page, but not rn

"Those Zombies are gonna pay for eating up my TV!" -Duke Knable (probably)
Love it! Jump in, shoot stuff. Simple and fun zombie shooter in a surreal level backdrop. Awesome job!
This game is pretty neat and okay for an arcade-shooter. Brings me back to when I used to play Call of Duty: Infinitite Warfare zombies-mode with friends way back when ~
The only complaints I have are that the 3D movement (aiming and looking around you with your mouse) feel way too wonky/weird, almost like either you or your character would be drunk. Also you getting stuck in corners can lead to some frustration when trying to escape from da zomps
The second thing is the ammo-system and the way it has been implemented. When I read your comment on the game's page, that at least helped somewhat since it let me know that ammo at least exists. But it is still a bit frustrating that once you run out of ammo, you're just supposed to bum-rush through the zombies to find yourself more ammo
One thing I forgot to say: The name has to be a reference to "Zombies Ate My Neighbours", right?!
Nice retro shooter... why were the cars floating? It was funny though :D
Thank you for playing! :D I wanted to add an otherworldly vibe, so that's why I put those floating cars haha. I was gonna animate them to float in place, but I ran out of time.
Loved the retro aesthetics! A lot of compact and intense action! Really enjoyed it! Congrats!!
fun little shooter game, i enjoyed it. finding where to get more bullets was a bit confusing tho! but great work overall!
Fun game, liked the overall feel and look of the game, managed to find some ammo. Did not really get any warning when those little bodyless heads got near me but had fun dying!
The visuals are promising, but the controls feel awkward and inconsistent, which makes the gameplay frustrating at times. The level design is confusing in spots, and the lack of clear goals can leave players directionless. With some serious polish on the mechanics and pacing, this could be a standout jam entry. If you have a moment, I’d really appreciate it if you checked out and rated my Halloween jam game too: /jam/gamedevtv-halloween-jam-2025/rate/3971977
:)
Thank you for playing it! :D
I’d really appreciate if you could share a bit more detail about the issues you found with the controls or level design — I’d like to take notes and polish those parts!
As someone who has been playing Killing Floor 2 a good bit recently, this game was very nice. Finally managed to get 50 kills after multiple attempts; even after finding a seemingly decent spot to hold, there was a lot of demand to stay vigilant since the spawn points allowed them to flank you at any point.
I love KF2! I actually based the design of the sixth enemy on the Fleshpound hahaha. Really appreciate you playing all the way through and winning, that means a lot to me :D Made me super happy to hear that, thank you so much!
You don't often see FPS games in jams. Well done. Good heart-pounding music. I liked the art style. As someone who has been playing FPS games since Wolfenstein 3D, this reminded me of Duke Nukem era shooters.
It was unclear when you actually hit a zombie, especially when they were farther away. At first I thought I was missing even though my reticle was over their heads, then I realized they all take two hits. It would've been nice to be rewarded for headshots. At one point I ended up in a building with a red television and couldn't get out. I couldn't tell if this was intentional or not, but obviously I ran out of ammo and died. Also, I found the gun itself too floaty when you're moving around and aiming.
This game has a lot of potential to be really fun.
Thanks for playing!!
This was my first try at making an FPS, and yeah, I can totally see it needed more work on the game feel and feedback. Headshots don’t give any reward because... well, I ran out of time hahaha. I joined the jam super late and only had about 3 days to put together something quick, short, and fun.
About the room with the red TV — yeah, that was intentional! I wanted to add a reward for players who found all 5 TVs that spawned zombies, but again... time wasn’t on my side. What I didn’t know was that you could actually get stuck inside D: I just assumed if you could go in, you could go out, but clearly not. Sorry if that ended up ruining the experience a bit!
Anyway, thanks a lot for the feedback :D It really helps me see which parts I need to improve the most. I already have some ideas on how to make things better, but they’ll require some big changes (or even rebuilding stuff from scratch), since I had to cut a few corners to finish in time :P Once the jam’s over, I’ll try to polish it up — hopefully you’ll get to play it again sometime!
A first person shooter huhh!!
Looks cool. Like the zombies and death particles makes it more fun to kill.
Really nice visuals! Loved the vibe of the game. Very, very neon!
Only gripe is I feel like the hit-flash screen lasts a little too long, but apart from that - really fun zombie shooter!
Looks realy nice!
Great entry! I love how the game looks. The combination of 2D and 3D is spot on. Even though I’m not a fan of FPS games, I really like how smooth and satisfying the controls feel. The world design is great, and with some story and interesting missions, I’d be ready to delve deeper into the world and play more. Great work! I hope to see more content from the game.
This was pretty fun, I really liked the aesthetics , the 2d enemies was dope.
Very fun! The aesthetics are really cool, i love the overall vibe of the town, the aiming is a bit floaty but it sells the idea of this being more of a survival game where you have to aim carefully and conserve resources, i sinked a bit of time trying to actually finish it but no luck yet, might try again though if only that it's a pretty fun arcade shooter.
I like the "frozen in time" vibe, and the color / lighting is great. The music fit the game very well. I don't play this genre very much, so don't put much weight into this, but I felt like the movement was too floaty and the camera was a little too fast. It gave me a feeling of being out of control.
Overall, great job!
I really like that mix of 2D sprite with a 3D environment.
And those babies are nightmare fuel, good job!
I really love the aesthetics! Especially the lights! Really very nice, I appreciated it
I appreciate your comment :) Thank you for playing!
I really like the color scheme . Good Job!
