OK, I get the idea and I think there is room for development and fun. In its current state, it's pretty difficult, we should be able to aim with the mouse, even if we walk the other way around. I ended up enclosing myself in a box, to finally have no more ammo. I like the idea, it should just be pushed a little further. Good job.

Developer

Thank you! Will think about ways to enhance this gameplay then :)

I really like the idea of building your own walls to create barriers to zombie hordes. As I had to aim forward it was difficult to shoot them as I couldn't move away and shoot, this lead me to make myself a box and I got stuck and couldn't get out :( maybe wall HP for if you've walled yourself in so they can still get you or you being able to remove them would create more interaction with the wall mechanic? it's a really cool concept to create your own zombie maze and strategize out how to keep them at bay the longest!

Hey!

Thank you for the review, concerning the blocking wall you can disable them by pressing Q (or A depending on your keyboard layout) when you interact with a pillar that has an active wall. Maybe the way I presented it in the "How to play" menu wasn't clear enough sorry about that ^^"

Yeah there's a lot of text in a difficult to read font as was a bit much for me to take in :(

Developer

Ah ah I can understand that, maybe I tried to stay in the theme too much, will push an update after the jam vote period to fix that, thank you for the honest feedback :)

I liked the music loop :)

I think the idea of constructing walls by connecting points with each other was cool! It was just a bit difficult to do it because the player can't push the zombies away :(

It's also a bit hard because you shoot into the direction in which you look which made me walk into the zombies a few times.

Besides that a nice entry :D

Thank you for playing it so fast!

I'll take your comment in account when I will start uploading new updates to the game after the jam vote ends :)
