How did you interpret the theme?
I'm pretty literal so I interpreted it to mean you must go to town. So you urgently must get to town in this game.

Cool, i had an issue where some of the pellets would disappear before hitting the zombies, but other than that i managed to get to the town :) i like the little comic panels at the start and end too

Great game! I love the plot twist!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad people like the twist.

Love the cutesy art, there was one part at the corn stage where too many zombies came at a time, but other than that fun game!

Developer

Yeah, because of the way the corn field is set up, the zombies spawn and kind of clump up and can overwhelm the player. I was thinking maybe the zombies should be able to go through the corn, but that also caused issues. So I'll have to keep thinking on it. Thank you for playing!

I love how it looks like zelda on the gbc

Developer(+1)

Zelda is one of my favorite series! Link was one of my references when making the player character, though I went for more of a hooded cloak look. I'm super flattered, thank you.

Oh I am in love with the little red hood pixel friend! I got distracted by the cat midway and if you ever continue on this game please add a pet the cat option (>U<)

Developer

Thank you! There was definitely going to be a pet the cat option (and animations for the cat), but I ran out of time. I plan on doing an update where I add the stuff I had planned, including petting the cat. Until then, 0/10 can't pet cat lol :D

upgrade this game into resident evil thing twin

Developer(+1)

Lol, I appreciate the enthusiasm. I'm not sure I'm quite there yet, skill wise. I love the resident evil series though.

Played through to the end... but it said I killed lots of them even though I ran through without killing any. Nice to see the twist at the end though lol.

Developer

Yeah, I was going to make two slightly different endings depending on if you killed any zombies, but I just didn't have time. That's some good zombie herding skills to not have to shoot any. Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+1)

I got very good at herding zombies by the end of this game! Well done!

Developer

Herding the zombies skills definitely required. Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+1)

I liked the art and the story. shooting the zombies was fun

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad it was fun.

Submitted(+1)

I love the story man! and the strategy of herding zombors and shooting select ones

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! Yeah I think the best strategy is kiting the zombies together and shooting any that appear in front or to the sides of you.

Really good game. The art is nice and the animation are sick.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you like the art and animations. I was pretty proud of the zombie death animation.

Great job!

controls are a bit difficult for me as a trackpad user (skill issue I know,it's been a year and still haven't bought myself a mouse, help 😭) overall it's a fun game and congrats for finishing your first game!

Developer(+1)

I honestly didn't even think of trackpad users and I bet that was rough. I even use a laptop, though I have a mouse for it. (I can't use a trackpad at all, that's the real skill issue.) I did want to add the ability to toggle aim, so players who struggled to hold down the mouse button could just click it. I ran out of time though. Thank you for playing!

Aha, zombies that only eat crops, an interesting plot! I really like your artwork. It's amazing that you were able to create such a piece in such a short time!

Developer

Thank you! I was inspired by a picture of a zombie that was saying "Grains" instead of "Brains". I'm glad you liked the art. I was a bit nervous because I have no idea of how to accurately judge my own art.

Great game! My character froze a couple times like you mentioned in the description which was a little annoying but other than that I really enjoyed the running and shooting gameplay as well as the art, particularly the zombie death animation and the environment. I also thought the orange cat in the first house was a nice touch. Congrats on your first finished game! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I figured out how to fix the character freezing bug, so I'm just waiting for the game jam rating to end to update it. I'm so glad you mentioned the zombie death animation! I was proud of that one. I added the cat for my actual cat. I just wanted to put her in the game.
