With exploration and advancement within the stage using jump, displacement and (perhaps in an unplanned way) climbing. The objective of the game is to arrive at some point in the stage (usually with a flag and visual markings to indicate the end).\nThe game has some increase in difficulty between stages, presenting diversification of challenges and addition of layers and combinations of mobile and static platforms.\nThe jump can be a little bit bigger, the player's character (PC) could spin (even if the camera doesn't rotate together) and it would be interesting if the character could accelerate his speed a little while on the ground (this could generate balance challenges and reduce monotonous parts of long corridors that currently exist in some stages).\nConsider reviewing the collision box in the lakes, just getting close to it will lead to defeat (which can be quite uncomfortable).\n\n2 - Graphics, Audio and Narrative:\nThe graphics are clear in relation to most elements, especially considering the time to produce the game. I don't know if it was planned, but elements like the character itself and trees can impair vision at times (it may be interesting to allow a first-person camera (or have a \"first-person mini-camera at the top of the screen\"), just as it could be interesting to make trees that are already outdated become transparent or invisible.\nThe audio can be a little quieter (in the menu) and can be muted for a more comfortable experience. It would be interesting to have some track inside the game loop. The sound effects can be diversified, for each time you perform a certain repetitive action draw between one of them.\nThe narrative depends on the reading of a text, fortunately the text is inside the main menu (it would be interesting if it were presented in another format, however it might hinder the pacing of the game); so I couldn't imagine a good way to integrate the narrative further (but I noticed an interest in delivering a narrative).\n\n3 - Culture:\nThe game reminded me of games like Spyro, Rayman and Crash. Fortunately I remembered more of the last two, because the camera was not so mobile (which makes me sick, unfortunately) because I like the three games mentioned.\nWith the proper work in character design it is possible to build a deeper narrative using the same mechanics as the basis (I don\u2019t know how much cloth for the manga the narrative could give, but the question and zombies can be worked on as a partially reversible curse and that could go on being resolved in more scenarios, with more and more elements).\n\n4 - Monetization:\nI currently don't see how to monetize this game. To reach a commercial level, it will take a lot of artistic polish and expansion of features, but you have a base that seems solid to work on.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ldjam-media\/sha256\/44\/44280acf927f79b6f321fb6a22ce3e0577f1a7ec37daedd5dca4d30dccc3a273.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/chesschaser.itch.io\/zombified","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"74673","g_author":"1212790","g_event":"LD48","g_eventkey":"109","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"368858","g_title":"Zombified","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"1858","g_commentcount":"27","g_site2_node_id":"233469","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"233469","n_urlkey":"368858","n_parent":"233335","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/48\/zombified","n_slug":"zombified","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"212790","n_created":"1613068118","n_modified":"1779032832","n_version":"754670","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD48","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":3,"author":212790,"body":"Unfortunately, Jack has been turned into a zombie!
