Feel free to try it :smiley:
(details below)

Game Details

Cruor is a zombie slasher game set in a post-apocalyptic, dystopian city. You control a human fighting off waves of zombies in order to survive for as long as possible. There are 6 total game stages:

  1. Intermission. The starting stage. This stage gives time for the play to warm up to the controls and enemies.
  2. Stage 1. The easiest stage. Zombie spawning is partially faster then the prior stage. Medkit drops have a very low chance.
  3. Stage 2. Difficulty increases. Zombie spawning is boosted. Medkits have low chance of dropping.
  4. Stage 3. Chaos begins. Most players don’t make it past this stage. Zombie spawning is boosted significantly. Medkits have a higher chance of dropping.
  5. Stage 4. Utter calamity. Very few people survive this long. Zombie spawning is nearly max speed. Medkits have a higher chance of spawning. The game begins to lag on slower computers (i.e. Chromebooks)
  6. Stage 5. Complete anarchy. Anyone who makes it to this stage doesnt survive very long. Ash begins to materialize from the ground. Zombies spawn without regulation. Difficulty is maxed. Medkits have a decent chance of spawning. Survival probability is lowered significantly

Feel free to share what stage you make it to!

Oh jeez, a better zombie game than D.O.M? Time to rethink my life choices :confused:

Normally I’d get mad at someone calling D.O.M a zombie game, but at this point I give up…its a zombie game lol

This is a great game, simple, but I really like you’re sprite work. The HUD is really good.

This game is great! killing zombies is super fun with all the screen shake and blood effects, the energy system is interesting as well. But I think there are a few things that could be improved too.

the music is awesome, but I think there could be some more punchy sound effects. a sound for a hit connecting on a zombie would be good.

it’s almost impossible not to take damage, but zombies don’t do much damage. something seemed a bit off, maybe make the zombies a bit slower, and up their damage?

i also think it might be cool if there were multiple actions that could be performed with the energy/ stamina bar for a few more interesting decisions.

I was actually trying to get doom music for it, which led me to the site I got the current music from

I see. If there isn’t already, maybe you could add a feature to mute music so you can play your choice of Doom music in another tab.

That’s honestly a pretty good idea!
