Survive the portal is live!

Check out my game, I just released it today. It’s an overhead shooter where you have to survive rounds of random zombies. You get a new gun every 5 levels. You can find ammo and grenades in crates around the map. Please let me know what you think!

Just played it for a moment, and I had a lot of fun. It’s nice to see game concepts like these appearing on Roblox, especially when they’re made nicely like yours is. Overall, I don’t think you need any changes, but I have a few suggestions. To start, you should add more to the map (either by having different maps, more obstacles, more objectives, etc…), because it’s very repetitive. Having more areas to explore and more obstacles to navigate may make it more interesting. On another small note, a health UI may be beneficial. The default health bar isn’t very large, nor attention-grabbing - whereas a custom UI would be able to make an essential stat front and center.

I had a lot of fun playing this. I can easily see this as a Front Page game. Keep up the food work!

Nice game! I’ll give you some constructive criticism on it.

First, stylistically it seems a bit inconsistent. The terrain colors are a bit dreary, and guns / trees appear to be designed realistically; however, cut to a couple rounds in and we were fighting clowns with circus music playing. I’d suggest making the map and weapons feel a bit more stylized, to match with the cartoony-style of the mobs.

Second, combat is fun, but parts of it feel very slow-paced. Specifically,

  • There were multiple times where I couldn’t do anything, because I had no ammo,
  • The gun I did have the entire time felt very slow-handling, which didn’t at all match the feeling of having twenty mobs rushing you,
  • Staying with the same gun for a few rounds exhausted the excitement of combat after awhile.

Additionally on combat, it would be cool if mobs could shoot at you and reposition themselves around you, instead of just rushing in for a melee hit. The top-down environment absolutely begs for bullet hell gameplay, but the melee attacks from mobs don’t deliver on this front.

That’s my feedback–again, I enjoyed the game and I definitely think it has potential. Good work on it!

I’m gonna try it out soon after I make a random thing in pixelart. Also, just block the portal off with dirt smh.

What do you mean block the portal with dirt?
