Cool game. Hope to see the full game!
This game was super fun to play. From shooting the zombies and blowing up the buildings. I like how the game is set in No Man's Land, I find it clever since the land is filled with zombies. I also like how you get upgrades it rewards you with good aim and destruction. I had a great time playing this game and would love to see a full version of the game. I give this game a 5/5.
Thanks for reaching out to let me know you made another game! This was amazing, I cannot wait for more of it. Loved the core gameplay loop, the visuals, the simple but effect tension, it's just excellent all around.
Keep up the awesome work, hope we get to see more of this in the future!
really cool art direction! do continue!
That for sure is a false positive. Windows Defender is notorious for accidentally flagging zip files as Wacatac.b!ml I would recommend scanning it with other antimalware software and see what they say. If another one also flags it, let me know.
Yeah, false positive. No other software found a virus.
Not sure if false positive, but Windows Defender just reported a Trojan while unzipping: "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml"
