Whatefs by ijskar
First attempt at a game for a Ludum Dare. This game was made in GameMaker Studio 2. I am just a beginner at this whole game-making thing, but am enjoying it a lot! Use WASD + mouse to control your character. Shoot zombies to prevent the darkness getting to you, and try to survive as long as possible! :)!

Hope you learnt something during this LD. As said before, you could add some sound effect, maybe some features. but hey, if you are new, its alreary a big challenge to release somhething working without bugs.
can't make it past 44 seconds
I don't think the lack of sound is the biggest issue with the game. As it's often the case with this genre, standing in a corner and spamming is the most viable tactic, basically breaking the game.
Keep up the good work.
Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam!

A few things to add if you intend to:
- Health: for the player and the zombies
- Healing: through some kind of pickup
- Spawning: zombies should be spawned outside of the circle, not inside and invincicle
The best strategy for me is just standing there and shooting in circle.
Moving around would risk touching a Z and kill me.
Keep on making games!
Firstly I offer you to make some changes in spawning(Like @dleanjeans said).
Secondly add maximum distance that bullet can fly. You can play as long as you want if you just run spin and shoot.
Anyway, good job!
