Really good job for solo dev in the timeframe Sovium!

Fun to play and nice artwork. Liked the replayability of it and the aesthetic certainly nailed Imminent Doom.

Good stuff!

Very fun game!, absolutely love the replay ability and base-building concept. One of my most favorite games from this jam, awesome job!

This is cool, I like the defense building mechanic! I did learn the hard way not to use the hammer around the barrels lol

Developer

Thanks a lot reecemungus, I love drawing weird stuff like this

Very fun. The hammer does feel better than the gun, which is a bit odd?

Developer

Yeah the weapons were quite late addition, didn't have time to balance them that well. I also wanted to add more weapons to spend the xp on. Thanks for playing Mega 64!

the game is really fun, i think u could make so using the mousewheel to change  weapons

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you very much enzofasil for playing! The weapons were a late addition and I wanted to add even more weapons that cost much more xp, but didnt get to that. Changing them with mouse wheel could have been nice indeed.

Very fun game loop and theme interpretation! One minor improvement i'd suggest is clearing the map of the zombies at the end of a run so that buying defenses is easier.

Developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words globbertot, that was indeed part of my backlog but never got to fixing that part. Thanks for playing!

Good job!

Thanks bbuerk!

The theme is very well integrated in the game! It really is inevitable doom. However, it doesn't feel frustrating when you lose due to all the upgrades and defenses you can buy afterwards. I do wish you could upgrade the defense units or weapons you buy. It would give more for the player to work towards late game. But I understand this is a game jam submission and thus should not be a grind to experience. A solid game loop and a solid game. Great job!

Developer

Yeah I had a lot of things that I wanted to implement, but I got this idea for the game in the last 2 days so didnt really have time to do everything. Thanks for playing it Pengoobro!
