I love the railgun, this game is challenging in the best of ways. Really made me feel nostalgic thinking about CoD nazi zombies. 

Developer

thanks for playing <3

This is exactly the sort of thing I enjoy. I particularly liked the minigun that becomes more accurate as it fires. It's a pity about the performance--the game definitely struggled a bit in browser.

Developer

i've learned that if we plan on launching for browser, we definitely have to be testing in browser the whole time... we only realized at the last moment we had performance issues and scrambled to fix. thanks for checking it out!

Great game! It was a bit laggy in the browser, but still enjoyable :)

Developer

thanks for playing!

Nice game! It gave me COD zombies vibes, and the music reminded me of Fallout. Great job!

thanks for checking it out 🙏🏼

this game gave me COD Zombies, BioShock, and Fallout vibes all at the same time. Good job!

I love FPS games and this one is no exception really well made. I did find the implementation of the countdown theme to be rather too simple. But the model animations, gunplay and enemies are solid. Audio is super good and the vibe is just like COD Zombies. Great game!

Developer(+1)

yeah, i agree we could have done better following the theme. the original plan was for a big clock tower in the center of town that would count down the hours, but as you can see we never made it out of the saloon 🤣 thanks for checking it out!

Loved the concept - as others have said a few performance issues on the web builder. But I can see the vision, and had good fun <3

thanks for playing! 🙏

Interesting idea! But I was getting freezes all the time I played this game. And after 3rd wave the game crashed (web page closed for some reason). Need to work on optimization. I guess I got freezes when new mobs were spawning. Do you use some kind of pooling objects and prewarming them in preloader state?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

i was seeing this as well in the web version. i don't have any object pooling right now, definitely need to add that. i agree that spawning the enemies is heavyweight and probably causing it. thanks for checking it out!

Wow this is really well made and super fun! I got to round 8 I couldnt stop playing :) This is like cod zombies but with daleks. The gun is soo cool, i like the minigun variant the most. Great job!!!

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing and the kind words! i'm glad you like the minigun i spent a ton of time getting the feel of it just right.

As someone who has well over 10,000 hours in COD Zombies I played this one for a very long time. This is also 100% a 5 star on audio for the music vibes alone! I would like to talk to the architect who put that many windows in this saloon... had me running everywhere lol

Developer

thank you! lmao yes we realized we made the largest saloon in history. the owner must have inherited money or something.
