Really good game, the player required a lot of water XD
great game, nice graphics, good mechanics and sounds.
maybe add a lkittle pause when the game starts so you can read first, i get killed while reading xD
good job here, nice game.
Thanks for the review, he does need a lot of water in the desert! And for the text part, I had like 10 more minutes that I was able to work on the game before leaving for the rest of the dev time so I quickly added that.
BRO, THIS IS A REALLY FUN ZOMBIE JOURNEY HOME! 🧟♂️🏠🔥
I like how straightforward the goal is survive the zombies and make it home, while the long distance keeps the pressure going. The smooth gameplay, music, and speed-up mechanic make the journey surprisingly engaging, and for only around 15 hours of development, there’s a solid foundation here!
For the next version, I’d love to see more variety in the journey: different zombie types, more reasons to explore buildings, and some new situations or hazards along the way. The later difficulty could also be balanced a little so the challenge feels intense without becoming frustrating.
A SIMPLE IDEA THAT’S ALREADY REALLY FUN TO PLAY! 🧟♂️🎮🏠 Great work getting this together in such a short time, and good luck with the jam! 🔥✨
Fun gameplay. Gets a bit difficult close to home.
The art needs another layer of paint to reach charming, but there are some great starter assets here.
Solid entry. Great work.
I liked how smooth the game was; you can tell there was a lot of hard work and attention to detail in the gameplay. Great game :D
I liked the vibe, very original for a zombie game. It could be a bit more varied either in exploration, combat, or both though. But yeah it's neat little game you made there, good job!
Thanks for the review! And yeah, I also saw the variation issue but I didnt have too much so I just added different colored shirts for zombies to try to fix it. I will try your game too!
Nice game! I love the music and the general vibe. Also great it wasn’t too simple and had bunch of things to keep in mind.
In my opinion the game should force player to go into some buildings because u don’t really have to do that. So the game needs some variety.
Overall solid entry gl
Simple but fun game ! just need some enemy variety , but the fondation are there and are well done .
Good Job!
thanks for the review, Im gonna check your game out today
Fun concept! Thanks for including a way to speed up. The game may seem simple, but it’s a lot of fun to play, and that’s what matters most. Good work!
Fun game! The added pressure of finding water helped with with some added danger. Might be nice to add some variety to the zombies, some easy, some harder. Having 3 shots per zombie was nice for planning, but meant I knew I could always handle 2 then had to run.
I also got stuck on the terrain a few times and had to wiggle to free myself, but staying away from door frames helped. The music fit the desert theme well.
Cool game and I love the players design! My main feedback would be that the screen size meant that I couldn't actually see the compass, just the very top of the N in the corner of the screen which made navigating a little hard. Great work!
Im not sure if the compass thing was a game issue or not. But thanks for playing and reviewing my game!
