A game where your goal is to survive for as long as possible against zombies. This is my first entry to Ludum Dare and I did not have as much time as I wanted to spare this weekend.

When I say little less delay, I mean when you're firing bullets.
Pretty cool. I liked the lighting / visibility. It's hard. I have trouble living long enough to even get the first upgrade, and beyond exploiting the zombies by getting them stuck on corners, I'm not sure what to do.
Good idea to use "fog of war". On little sceen player still have what to explore. But this game too hard for me. I can recommend to use round shapes for collision to prevent stucking near corners. Also give player little time to learn how and where he can move before zombie spawning. Just as little learning curve.
Thank you for your comments. My goal was that the game was supposed to be hard but after playing it a couple of times i realize it is a bit hard.
Fun lighting, pretty tough overall though.
Graphics are definitely weak point.
Theme & Mood are pretty beautiful though!
The lighting effect with large pixels is nice. You could have put the tutorial information like controls and objectives on the main screen. I didn't quite understand the upgrading mechanics.
Tutorial is a little tough to read when there's a zombie coming at you from the start, but the lighting effect is REALLY COOL! Sadly I didn't get to progress much. I think if zombie health were to be cut in half this would be much more playable.
nice work getting a fun game going in the short timeframe. Upgrade didn't seem to do anything for me. what does it do?
Congrats on your first Ludum Dare entry! I like the atmosphere of the game, the lowered vision really adds to the tension and difficulty. I did want the shooting to be faster though, since it was tough to maneuver in the rooms and the zombies had quite a bit of health. I did die once to a zombie attack me through one of the walls, which was kinda funny! Good job!
Game would be a bit funner if you could shoot a bit faster, didn't tend to get stuck on enemies, or moved a bit swifter.
That being said, the fog of war mechanic was awesome. I know it's only one component of the game, but having the "giant pixel" fog of war system totally made the game for me. Great entry!

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Ok game. Would've liked a little less delay and a little less health on the zombies.
