The Zombie Skull Seeking Bullet by aare
Hey people. This is our first LD entry as a team :). You are a guy who ran out of food and water in his anti-zombie bunker and decides to face the zombie apocalypse with just one bullet. Luckily, it's not a regular bullet - it will orbit around the crosshair and you can kill countless braindeads with it, but it can also kill you if you're not careful.
Use WASD for movement and mouse for guiding the bullet.
We started almost 24 hours late and obviously didn't manage to do everything, the game is far from being finished, but it works. We'll be releasing a fixed and finished post-jam version in some near future.
What's done:
-Gameplay, zambies, blood - all the basic stuff
What's half-done:
-Zombie spawning is screwed up (you'll probably have to walk to the bottom edge of the screen to make new zombies spawn)
-Some hitboxes and animations are a bit sloppy
-Bullet behavior is not perfect (coliisions with obstacles, etc).
-Sounds could be better
What's not done:
-Hero and zambies have no legs (and no animation)
-Zombie types
-Intro
-Doesn't matter, it's not there, maybe in a post-jam version ;)
We used CC-licensed music by Dan-O in the game (http://www.danosongs.com/). Cheers mate!
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers,

Good mood and gameplay. Arcadey and Fun! Followed the theme very well.
Had very few issues. One of them is that at first i though the game was just the first screen and i waited for a while for waves of zombies to come. Then i understood that I should be moving around besides controlling the bullet.
Very fun, and i like the detailed world.
Small bug - music doesn't loop.
At first I was a bit dissapointed, I kept killing myself with the bullet an loosing the game before it had even started.....but Once you really get a feel for how the bullet works you can do some really awesome things combining how you move around and how the soopa doopa magic bullet works. The only thing that let it down for me (and this is more of a personal thing) is that Im both fed up of and not keen on pixel art. But as pixel art goes, this fits the game.
oh and everybody needs music like this in their games!
- It doesn't fit the theme.
- It doesn't even closely resemble the theme.
- The window frame was way too small.
Doesn't "you only get one bullet" count? awesome use of the theme to be honest.

Good use of the theme (that bullet is the best friend you could hope for in a zombie apocalypse), lovely graphics (even without the legs) and solid gameplay. The bullet guiding mechanic felt really slick and fun.
I lasted almost 3 minutes and took 100 zombies to hell. :)
its VERY difficult to play it on a laptop and touchpad :/
