A downloadable game for Windows

This is my entry for the GMTK Game Jam 2023, The theme #Roles Reversed,  

Nightmare of the Living
made in Godot 4.1 this game is a like a zombie survival, Tower defense. but you control the zombies' waves. and you must kill all the humans in each level.

There are 5 different zombie types, with several power ups.  and there are also a few different human types that get harder as you progress. there are 5 progressively challenging level (hopefully not too much), you have to kill all the humans in 10 waves, after you wave you get to choose a power up.

I did not make most of the art or sounds from scratch, I used widely available packs from itch.io and tinkered with them a bit. 
I used assets from:

Jere Sikstus - itch.io

momeg - itch.io

Magic Sound Effects - itch.io

The Game might get a bit buggy towards the end, and needs some balancing, the lack of sleep really impaired my mental capabilities. I had a ton of fun making this in a Godot. It's the first Project I used Godot for, so there was a lot learned.

 so, if you have any feedback, it is much welcomed.  Thank you for playing my game!

KNOWN BUGS (as of 7/15/2023)

  • Clicking on upgrade spawns currently selected zombie
  • Level 3 - Spawn area highlight is incorrect, you can only spawn zombies' top left side of screen.
  • Game over screen is bugged, after beating the game or losing by getting to wave 10 on level, the game will stall because the game over screen is broken.
  • You can break the game by selecting multiple cost reduction upgrades, and you can spawn infinite zombies (maybe not a bug, maybe it's a feature??) 
  • Humans AI will sometimes run-away off screen, Game is still going but players can't see the action.
