Not too bad of a game, but I've had a few problems with it ...

the game feels horrible, in top down shooters like this one it matters alot, the complete lack of animations apart from particles makes this game feel kinda bland, not to mention the weapon changing -which poses the game- is breaking the little action this game has.

The way melee works is not explained anywhere AND is glitched : there's a cooldown only for hitting the same zombie, if you find yourself stuck between two zombies just tap left and right and they should be dead in no time !

Speaking of glitch, this one is of the unconvenient type, I once started a level between 2 bosses, which got me stuck and instakilled.

Apart from that, money balance is mediocre at best, some weapon upgrades barely changing anything to the weapon and some useful one increased by a ridiculous amount !

So yeah, even if I apreciate the ZQSD option, there is still ALOT lacking to make this a good game, unfortunately.

That's a really awesome well written review mate, I don't agree with all of it but there are some excellent points in there, thank you.

A bit frustrating for me seeing as I could never switch from the pistol. Even after buying a couple of weapons I could never use them so it made it way more challenging but quickly got old.

Looked promising but the entire browser scrolls when you move the arrow key. Fix that problem (if it isn't just my computer) and resubmit it.

*sigh* this is the beauty of HTML. Ok I'll look into it, thanks for flagging it up, in the mean time just as a heads up for anyone else having this issue, WASD works.

High hopes and a promising start dashed to pieces.

PROS:
Movement is fluid and shooting is mostly fun.

CONS:
A magnet that isn't an upgrade but a boost AND it cost's 3000?!? It's not even that good. I pretty much have to stand next to the coin to get it anyway.
Rage is also a boost and normally takes 97% of the day to charge, meaning it's worthless.
Voxels make it hard to tell enemies apart.
You can only but a very small amount of weapon upgrades, meaning you have to buy higher weapons and therefore a lot of ammo.
Menu navigation is annoying.
I keep being told new outfits are to buy but all the unlocked ones are free and I can't unlock the others. So jewels have no purpose whatsoever.

Squize responds:

Just to go over your points:
I've improved the magnet, it'll take the fillings out of your teeth now.
Rampage is triggered when you get a 10 combo and maintain that, as soon as you lose your combo the rampage counter is reset.
Not a 100% sure why you'd need to tell enemies apart, they're all enemies, there's no friendlies in the game. The sprinters move faster, the bosses are bigger, the pukers puke and so on.
I don't know how many more weapon upgrades you'd need than what's there, there are multiple upgrades at multiple levels.
The outfits unlock at certain ranks and have a jewel cost attached to them, once you hit that rank and if you have enough jewels you should be able to buy them.

Thanks for the feedback, it's always useful to read.

Can't change my weapon. I've been right clicking for days and it won't switch to any of the weapons I've purchased.
