Good aesthetics, good sound design, the gameplay was a little repetitive especially after wave 5. The lighting was really good, the only thing is that the enemies seemed to get stuck very easily so at the end of every wave I had to search for the last monster that was stuck somewhere. Also I think you should be able to hold to attack, since spam clicking makes the attacks very inconsistent. Overall great game!
I assume it is a good game, but I couldn't play it because of my touchpad.
I'd prefer you put the attack control to anything else to support the players without a mouse. It rendered the game unplayable. Sorry!
You're telling me this game has a great aesthetic, enjoyable gameplay, decent sound design, actual replay value, AND realistic lighting effects? Dude.
Add some more gameplay elements—maybe new enemy types, another map or two, some music, some powerups, a boss fight—and I would actually pay a few bucks for this. Seriously, excellent job.
Thank you man, really appreciate it :)
Honestly very impressive. Fantastic presentation and very fun to play!
Enjoyable and very polished game! Love the art style as well :)
Really amazing aesthetics, great lighting effects. Just had three points I would improve.
The first is that this is a top down where you can move and enemies can come from all directions, but the character can only face left and right. I think the player should be able to face up and down as well.
The second is an extension of that, as I had some issues with the colliders as I wasn't entirely sure if I could hit monsters on top or below me, or how close I could get, so got hurt or didn't hit monsters when I wasn't expecting it. I think the colliders should be a bit more forgiving in that regard.
The third is I felt the mouse controls felt unnecessary. I think it would be better served with strictly keyboard controls, with a button to attack.
Overall really nice, well polished game, these are relatively small issues in the larger scope of things.
Yup you are right, the thing is that the sprite sheet didn't have animations for facing up and down and given the time I couldn't add them myself :D
I also agree with you on the other points.
Thank you so much for your feedback, appreciate it :)
Got it to run on firefox in the end!
What a ridiculously polished and charming little game! The lighting especially is amazingly well done, just a great art style overall!
If I had any feedback to give it would be that the enemy pathfinding could be a bit shaky at times, especially around trees and lampposts. The feedback for taking damage needed to be a bit more obvious and the zombie sounds were quite low.
Very minor problems though, fantastic work overall!
Thank you so much :)
Yea you are right, I totally agree with you on those points, especially on the feedback for hits! For me as an developer it was kind of obvious when I was going to take damage, but I noticed that this is quite hard for people other than me :D
It's something easily overlooked given our time constraints!
Seriously nice job!
Pretty well made, it was really fun. I have rated your game. Can you please play and rate my game.

Cute game! However I only manage to wave 3 for I'm not so good in reaction :( I will definitely play it for multiple times!!!
let me give you a hint: dashing makes you invincible for about 1.5 secs meaning that you can use it do dash out of dangerous situations through the zombies itself or even use it to dash into them to parallely hit them doing great aoe damage, maybe give that one a try :)
Anyhow really appreciate your feedback!
Thank you for your hint!! It works! I think I can go further :D
Cute game with good aesthetic and the feel attacking and using controls is very satisfying. I especially like the use of lighting. You mentioned you didn't focus too much on mechanics and focused on aesthetic, which you did really well on.
Yea right that's what I tried to do different this jam, glad to hear that, thank you :)
oh to yeast my eyes upon this game! What Adorable style and fun gameplay. It's unfortunate it doesn't run for me on chrome, but luckily after installing a new browser it runs fine!
Can't wait to unlock all the players :O !
Oh I am sorry about that, does it actually not even start? Or is it laggy? Because I heard of some who had to turn on Hardware Acceleration in order to run it smoothly.. if thats not the case for you I am happy that you even installed a new browser in order to play it :D thank you so much
Very fun and nice looking game! Art is very cute.
@Merphin the game feel f this game is on another level, it felt nice to kill monsters, I don't have any big suggestions but I have a question does it end at some point or it is endless, by the way good job on the game man :D
Thank you very much! :) Yes it actually ends at wave 20 :D, so after unlocking the last character at 13 you got 7 more waves to clear
I love the graphics and design of the game overall! :-)
Playing game feels smooth. Music is fine.
Found it cool that main character could change to antoher one with progress.
Great job! Thanks for sharing game with us!
BtW you could try our game too :-)
Thank you :)
Already had a look at it, it's nice!
Moving through the menus felt really nice. like the sounds and feel of the game. Just felt the swing only going in one direction and enemies attacking with with no impact detracted from the combat a little but based on what I played the issue was time and not skill.
Really enjoyed.
I am glad to hear that, thank you so much! :)
This is probably the best-looking and best-playing game so far, but I ran into a bug that crashed not just the game, but my whole computer. After I died the first time and went back out to the title screen, hitting start brought me to a solid blue screen, which sent me back to the title screen if I clicked anything. I tried hitting "Story" again, and the game hung, then when Windows tried to close it my whole computer froze and crashed.
It's too bad, I was enjoying myself. One question... does where the mouse is pointing effect which direction you swing? I kept swinging in the wrong direction, and it was only right before I died that I thought to move my mouse to the other side of the character, but I died almost immediately. I also had a slight problem understanding that my character was taking damage... I thought I made it through the whole level without taking damage, but when I looked at my heath bar it was almost completely depleted.
I'm assuming "Energize" does something later in the game... I only just made it to the second wave and it never did anything up to that point.
Oh sorry to hear that! It's quite unusual that a WebGL game can crash the whole PC, worst case is normally just the browser... anyhow at least I am not sure what the cause might be since I didn't see or hear of that bug before.
Regarding the attack: YES you hit in the direction you look at, or at least you hit left or right depending on whichs characters side your cursor is at. And yea maybe the "got hit" animation should be more obvious so that you notice when you got hit, I thought a sound and a small flicker animation is enough, but maybe its to subtle
Yea energize is that glowing sword you can see in the images / trailer which you are able to activate when those "green arrow" thingies at the top left are full.
Nonetheless thank you very much for your positive feedback :)
What kind of sandwich would be best for haunted zombie bread? Was very fun and very polished. Simple and effective. Great Work!
This was really fun! The core gameplay loop was solid with just enough enemy variety to keep it interesting and the extra characters to give it some replayability, nice work!
Thank you :) although I'd have loved to include more variety in terms of enemies and maybe even scripted boss fights :D
yeah that sounds like a really cool idea!
