Thx ^^ ...yes, it's my first relatively complete and working game...

Good first impression. But later...

Pluses:
+AWESOME graphics!;
+Nice atmosphere;

Minuses:
-Boring gameplay;
-No fresh ideas;
-Too little amount of pickups;
-No checkpoints?!;
-No possibility to jump or crouch.

Weel, as a first try that was awesome. When I saw the graphics I was like paralyzed for a moment. They are REALLY great. But, as appeared soon, it was almost the only advantage in the game...
The music and the graphics created a scary atmosphere. It could be better if the game's genre was adventure instead of action.
What does the gameplay consist from? Walking around, picking up a few items, shooting a bunch of zombies? Not interesting. Sorry, too boring. If the main hero could do some actions besides walking and shooting it could be more interesting.
If there are any kinds of items you can pick up, why don't you make a big amount of them? The guy could use grenades, find keys or other stuff like that.
It's really frustrating when you've got really far and you get killed. But in most of games you're given checkpoints, or at least a certain amount of lives. Why couldn't you make so?
My advise: try yourself in adventure genre. I'd love to see such work of yours. If you have any problems involving programming, feel free to E-mail me.
~Good luck with an adventure game! ^_^

Thx, I was going to have jumping and crouching, but coding that became extremely frustrating XD... so I decided the gameplay could just be walking, dodging, shooting, and switching ammo... which is better than just walking and shooting :P

re adventure, it was supposed to be a blend of action of adventure, but turned out to be more action, because of time limitations, but hopefully in future versions I can get a better mix of action and adventure.

hmmm

that was an alright game,
it was a little hard to beat but
other than that it was cool
good work : )

pretty good

the animation and everything was good but is was too hard! i didnt beat till like my 20 try

cool game, but just frustrating

nice game, good graphics, had to jam the Ctrl key to actually stay alive but got hard. storyline could have been better. but this game just got me frustrated. you should have put in some health packs or something like that. otherwise, it would have been, to me, beatable. still, good game though.
