[raw]
made by Zimirix for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for tuning for tonight’s episode. A horrid horror has feasted itself in this beloved community and all that remains is one curious survivor… Will they overcome these dreaded monstrosities or will they be feasted upon like the rest? Find out tonight on....

Timeline TV!!

You - the time-traveling STAR of the show - must clear the infected town of shambling corpses with the power of a shotgun and sheer will. It’s on you to get the perfect take to satisfy the announcer for the episode. If you don’t reach the safe house within the time limit or are consumed by the rabid horde, it’s back to square one for another take! Are you the hero that TimelineTV has been waiting for? Or will you be cursed to relive this nightmare until the end of time? Controls: - Mouse and Keyboard (with partial controller support) - WASD to move - LMB to shoot - Escape to pause

I really like the art style, but I found that when I died I was just returned to full health, not really 'returned to square one' which I assume means the start of the level

@demetri Yeah, we were having an issue with the level restart. A similar issue is happening when you reach the church, where the game stops, but the game won't end until you lose all your current health. Ran into this right before we had to upload, unfortunately. We'll upload a fix this week if we can. Thanks for playing!

Really impressive stuff for such a short period of development. Love the art style, level design and the AI.

The visuals are really cool. There seems to be a difference in the amount of damage each type of zombie could take, which was a nice touch

Wow, I'm really impressed with the quality on this one! Love the graphics, audio, and use of the theme.
I think a wind-up for the zombies would have been nice so that I'd have a chance to get close and dodge them, but that's a minor complaint.
Really enjoyed your game!

Great quality on the graphics! The narration also looked quite polished.

At first I was like "Oh, I see what you did there. Took a normal 'part-of-a-game' and turned into the theme. Sure, I'll bite." :) Sadly I did not get it. The zombies barely came after me and if they did they would give up and sit in idle. "Losing" didn't feel like losing because I just got my health back immediately with no sign of reset. It was also hard to tell if I was doing well or not. If these things are better explained to the player I think the game could be better. Still, it is a nice looking game

I really like the graphics, though an option to disable motion blur would be appreciated. The level was really well built, and I just love the look of the town! Great work all around.
