Very funny game! Love what you did with the theme!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!

This was really fun, I was expecting a more typical zombie themed game but this subverted that nicely. Great job!

Developer

We didn’t get to go as far was we wanted but I’m glad you liked.

Submitted

I need a more thorough how to. I was confused how to operate. The animations look awesome, and I was really excited to try it out, I just couldn’t get anything to work after the zombie got on the operating table. 

Developer

Thanks for giving it a try. Click on the blue lines to add staples, the clipboard will tell you what needs fixing. Some technical difficulties right at the end required some pivoting so we weren’t able to get instructions in game. Glad you liked the anims, Xury did a great job with them.

Cool idea and nice execution!

Congratulations on your submission!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

This was quite unexpected, but I enjoyed it a lot! I don’t think I’ve ever imagined there being a zombie doctor fixing them up haha. Great job, this was fun!

Developer

Thanks for player! Our ambitions got the best of us and had to scale things back. If we would have had more time, I would have pushed for a whole layer zombie hospital staff and follow up care. Maybe next time…

Love it! Figuring out how to "operate" was a bit tricky (pressing F forces the camera to a weird angle, I preferred to just walk around and use shift to zoom.)
Would have liked to see some variety in tools used to operate on the zombies; and some kind of ending.
Overall nice job!

PS: the zombie animations are so hilarious

My favorite part of the game:

Thanks for playing. Yeah, we had grand plans but some technical challenges at the end meant a bunch of stuff didn’t make it but that’s what we where going for. We’ll just say you found the “easter egg”, it’s not that I forgot to despawn the zombies, definitely not that at all.

fresh take on theme :) 

good job overall, everything is quite polished, music fits, animations are good, gameplay is simple yet fun.

I would have loved to be able to staple the bear to some zombi thou, I was hoping I could do that when I saw it on the floor xD

Developer

Thanks for playing! That sort of thing is actually what we had in mind but some technical challenges at the end meant some extreme pivoting.

What a take on the theme, great submission!

Developer

Thanks for playing! If this was a month long jam, I would have fought for asymetric multiplayer, one side shooting zombies, the other side patching them up (as if we didn’t overscope enough already).

Submitted

Looks great and felt super smooth to play, well done! Comedy of the concept was well executed.

Developer

Thanks for playing, just don’t play too long because I forgot to despawn the zombies after they leave…

Submitted

Jajaja that was fun! Braaains)
Nice animations and gameplay! I liked this little bear on the floor
Well done

Developer

Thanks for playing! This is the bear’s second appearance, originally from https://a-kimb0.itch.io/terminal-velocity which some of the team also did.

Crazy and fun game =D

I love the little objects scattered around =D

Developer

Thanks for playing! Hopefully we get a post jam update so all those objects can see their true potential.

Submitted(+1)

Love the fun take on the theme.

Never thought I would be fixing up zombie after killing them for so long.

Really like the zombie walking motion, the leg/foot drag was great as is the way they jump up on the surgery table.

The music and staple sound effects were great too.

Thanks for submitting

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback, the rest of the team did a great job with the art and audio. I had some ideas for an absurd staple gun to top it off fun but sadly time got the best of us.

Submitted

really interesting concept! the graphics look really good

Developer

Thanks for playing!

this game is just so goofy that the simplicity barely even matters, its great

also, the modelling and animation is super impressive for a jam game, those zombies move super fluidly

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Hopefully we have an even goofier post jam update…

Submitted(+1)

nice theme usage and cool 3d anims/ models! I did have some issues with the camera movement and mouse capturing

Developer

We noticed that too, alt-tabbing out then back in should fix it. We'll look into a proper fix for future games. 🙂

Submitted(+1)

Super cool game. The level of polish in the graphics is insane to me, it looks crazy good. I could see the gameplay going in some really interesting directions if you had more time to flesh it out, but it's still pretty fun to staple a few zombies and get them patched up. Very nice work, keep it up!

Developer

Thanks for playing! We actually had a number of features nearly done but hit some roadblocks right at the end so had to cut out a lot. Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

Cute game! I get in the way of the first zombie and they drop kicked me :) Very good entry and well done!

Developer

Thank you! We're glad you had fun playing it :3
