Shombies by stig1

[raw]
made by stig1 for LD32 (COMPO)
You wake up only to find out that your shoes are missing, where could they be?

Use your socks as weapons to kill the shoe craving zombies, or Shombies. The Shombie who stole your shoes has a certain glow, kill him, get your shoes back and escape the woods.

This is my first ever entry. I had a lot of fun making this, hope you will get a few laughs playing my game. I also recommend you download the windows build as it has better quality than the webplayer build.

There is rather little audio because I'm not an artist :)

Thanks!

Cute.

Need little bit of an indicator that you're getting hurt.

It was a bit difficult, but fun. Clicking mechanics could be polished. Good job!

How to kill with socks? They gather around and stay still. I can move unnoticed. More challenge, please.

Thanks :)

stoarch - you throw shoes at Shombies to kill them. They are only interested in your shoes so if you have none on, they won't bother with you :)

Never underestimate the charm of taking down a charging zombie with a well placed sneaker! :P

Honestly, really enjoyed this one. Excellent take on the theme, and a lot of fun!

Decent choice for theme, but the controls feel very loose and I am not exactly sure what to do to be honest. I threw something and all the zombies suddenly ignored me.

That was certainly unconventional. Fun little game, but getting stuck in the scenery was a bit annoying. Congrats on your first entry!

Cute, very unconventional, but very strange at the same time :P Like the artstyle!

This was honestly one of my favourite games I've rated so far. The controls were good, the theme was well-represented, and it was pretty fun to get in a huge pile of shoes and go through them for the best stats.

Problems, though. One - the survival part was too easy. You could outrun all the zombies with even the basic shoes, so when I got two that had Speed 5, avoiding them was no contest at all. Two - the searching part was too tedious. I know that the zombie with my shoes glows, but I didn't know if the glow was too subtle and I walked past it or whether I just never encountered the thing. Eventually I got bored, wandered too far, and died. Also, on that note, the "You need to find your shoes!" text stayed on the screen for ages and kept blocking my view.
