IMHO as a human (not as dev or engineer), I think that bots (autonomous systems in general) should not impersonate or be treated like humans. This robot created this controversy and has caused us to waste time instead of optimizing it.


Hi mdaniel! Thanks a lot for your feedback. The last thing I added were the audio assets (music, shooting, reloading), and the game ended up quite heavy — so yes, it definitely needs an initial loading bar. On another note, I wrote "WASD" + "R" assuming I’d be sharing the game with people who usually play, so sorry about that. The idea behind the different weapons is: pistol → accurate but a bit slow and with short range, rifle → accurate and long-range, machine gun → low accuracy and medium range. Were you able to see that there are several types of zombies? Thanks again for your comments. José.-


Apologies, I knew what WASD was in the context of gaming, I just didn't follow what behavior they influenced in the game since I was playing it with a drink in my hand at first and it seemed fine :-)

I don't recall the shapes changing, but I also gave up after acquiring the rifle because I am not the target audience for this style of game. Balatro, M:TG, Slay the Spire, Factorio, and any of the Zachtronics games are for me

I do think the game was well executed, and I hope you and Gemini are proud of shipping it, and I also hope lots of people get enjoyment from playing it!


wow, what a coincidence that meta was also down a few hours ago


It is down now btw


I remember there was a site that showed all the characteristics that could make you unique. In my case, what gave me away was the unique id of the canvas.


my word was "temperature" and my "voltage" attempt gave a distance of 46, so I was biased and finally gave up. I will try again another day
