I really enjoyed this game! I definitely found it a little confusing how controlling your speed worked, but once I figured it out I had a great time! I love the artstyle, and the narrative is really funny! Great work with this game!

thank you so much, and i’m glad you enjoyed!! i appreciate the feedback and want to make that a little clearer for a more polished post-jam release!

Wasn't sure what pressing face book during the running does. IT says you control your speed but pressing space said' you cant slow down any more'

Developer

ah yes, there is a floor to the speed where that message pops up, and possibly a bug. it’s supposed to slightly slow down the pace of the game so that you aren’t forced to infinitely go faster until you fail and reset the speed to the slowest level. thank you for the feedback!!

Really fun concept! The browser version has some really harsh frame rate drops in my computer, unfortunately, but still a very interesting premise and a surprising ammount of levels and unique zombie types. Good work!

Developer

hey! i think you may have rated the wrong game? could you please double check your rating here?

Oh, i definetly did. My bad 😅

The game is fun, simple and fast-paced, very enjoyable. I like the unique art style as well.

i’m glad you enjoyed, thank you!!

I liked the art style but found it a little hard to parse what was going on in the comic sections. I'm not sure if I failed or if the game always restarts immediately upon completion.

Developer

thank you for the feedback!! i would like to make what’s happening in both of those things clearer. the game is kind of a linear experience, but with a loop in the middle and a few ways that the game ends (and the page needs to be refreshed to reset).

Really nice art and concept matching the theme very well !

Developer(+1)

thanks again!! and i appreciate that you could see my take on the theme!

That art is amazing!!!! Love the idea, I enjoyed it very much and would keep playing this if I could.

Developer(+1)

thank you and i’m so glad you enjoyed!!! i would love to extend this to add audio and finish the full concept i had in mind

I know you're going to get this a lot but... my God that artwork is so great! I'm mentally taking notes. It's optomistic, uncomfortable, cozy and energetic. Have you got any more projects I can take a peak at?  👀

Developer

that’s so kind thank you!! i’m happy you enjoyed. optimistic, uncomfortable, cozy and energetic is amazing and i’d love to use that as a tagline or something lol.

there are a few other game jam projects on my page! don’t dead it and the deja brew are probably the most fun

It's a fun game, that just takes a while to get going

Developer

thank you! and thanks for the feedback. i think you’re right, and i would like to make the intro more engaging if i flesh this out more!

Loved the art style and the gameplay was very entertaining too

Developer

thank you for playing. glad you liked it!

I really dig the artstyle here, has a unique vibe.

Adding audio would probably be the next step.

Developer

thank you!! and yes, sadly i underestimated the time it would take to implement the outer loop/story panels, which led to cutting quite a few things. but now have a better idea of that scope for next time!
