How does the game fit the theme?
You play as a soldier evacuating survivors from a facility overrun by zombies, but there is shapeshifters among the survivors. You will need to scan each survivors to ensure no shapeshifters slip past you.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Most of the art assets, UI, sounds was not make from scratch, but I still modified the art to fit my game better.

The polishing is really good, the visuals and everything, and the gameplay is really smooth and satisfying, this is the best part. But I think the music stopped (didn't loop?) after some time. But imo the balancing of the gameplay is a bit rough, there's a lot to manage (your health, your aim, your ammos, your timings, the scanning [while moving], your position [dashing around to avoid zombies], and protecting and evacuating the survivors / killing them if shapeshifter). so it's kinda overwhelming. I find that mostly my successful evacuations are the lucky survivors from the beginning of the wave when there are no zombies. Great game!
Very nice main menu, love buttons that react when you mouse over them. Fun to click, lol. Enjoyable gameplay, really like the shooting effects and sounds. It was simple gameplay but surprisingly addictive. Great job.
Ooo fancy splash screen very nice hehe. Juicy start screen UI. Very cool that the environment is changed with what happens in the game. The art looks cool! I like the camera movement for the death scene. Sometimes zombies kill the survivors off screen so that part felt a bit unfair. Sometimes the npc would block my shots too. Nice and juicy shoot effects! I felt compelled to try it a few times even though I kept dying haha. Overall great work!
Cool game and very well polished! The combat and movement feels clean and enjoyable. My main gripe is that, to me, the main concept of the game is unclear. You have a mix of a wave based shooter game, combined with scanning and saving humans with also the chance of them being shapeshifters - and at the moment the game is split between the two, doing neither effectively. Great game anyway though and I can definitely see something here!
pretty solid take on the theme
feels quite polished as well
