Hi there!
This is my very first game submitted to Newgrounds.
Special thanks goes to Adam Atomic for creating Flixel and Kevin MacLeod for providing the music!

Thanks for reading!

*UPDATE*
The game is now much more left-handed-friendly and allows moving with the arrow keys!
When carrying the minigun you become slower and jump less higher!
Fixed the medal-popup-problem!
MENU-button is now MAINMENU-button and asks if you REALLY want to leave and to lose all your process!
You can now switch weapons by pressing 'Q' and 'E'!
"How to pause" now explained ingame!

Good game, but too easy.

Get the minigun, and you win the game. The minigun should make your character really slow when you're using it. That might balance it out.

Awesome idea! In the new update you become extremly slow, when you carry the minigun. Check it out! ;)

Awesome but ...

This game is very fun but I would like more space. i find it difficult in the house because there is a roof and the stairs keep getting in the way.

Cool Shooter

Hey.

The first half of the game is a bit frustrating, due to the fact that zombies will eventually muscle up on you, as your guns aren't strong enough, and the slow reload times. The most frustrating thing was the collision detection. There are times when I was nowhere near touching the zombie, and I got hit. This is especially true when you're trying to jump over them.

While I feel the M16 is the best gun, it runs out of ammo too quickly. I do like how various guns affect your movement and jump ability too. With the minigun, you're basically a rock, lol. However, this gun also makes the game too easy.

The pixel art graphics were done well. One thing I would have liked to see was the progression of the day from day to night as the level goes on. The music and sound effects were good too.

The game does add a little bit more to the traditional fixed shooter, as you're not entirely restricted to a single spot, as you can move and jump around. The zombies do get too repetitive, especially in the later waves, with so many of those smaller zombies coming at you. It seems like it would be difficult to expand upon, due to the limited space available.

Otherwise, cool game.

good game

overall: good controls, no lag, and entertaining. The only complaint i have is that the hit box is off, especially while jumping. I was hit on numerous occasions while there was a significant gap between myself and the zombies.

Hope for a more challenging number 2!

Nice Game!

Wow, I really enjoyed it. The graphics are simple but really cool. The gameplay was challenging and I had really fun while playing it.

But the map was not really amazing because the house could be bigger and there are not many ways to go.

8/10 and 4/5. Good Work.
