Hey guys, not certain if this is in the right place, but...

Im currently working on developing a flash game, and just wanted some feedback on what people think so far. I have a few things that I know I need to do, but being the developer my opinion is largely biased.

Here it is:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76160271/ZombieRun.swf

White screen while it loads (No preloader yet).

Just realized that the controls are different to what the tutorials says, (Face of shame), X is jump, Z is shoot.

I still need to tweak the AI for the menu background a little...

Also, I have no idea what to give it for a name, so any ideas that way would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty fun (even if I'm not a fan of Flash :p ). You may want to make the collision detection on the barrels slightly more forgiving though.
 
Can you make the guy jump a bit higher but with less distance? Sometimes as soon as I land there is AI right there and not enough time to shoot your knife.

Cool little game though.

Do you mean maybe like giving the player a second chance? Maybe health?

Not so much. In the quick play I just had it felt like my character wasn't always in contact with the barrels when the game detected that I was.

It might just be a cause of letting the game run for an extra half second before saying 'game over' - just so it is clearer to the player that they have 'noobed up'.

I'm just being picky though :)

Ok, collision is using a pixel mask, so it is accurate. I will definetly add a couple second gap. I might add an animation, making the player fall over, then the AI's crowd around him... :P

Yeah. I'm sure it's accurate :) I think sometimes it's easy to forget that the player is often a lot slower at realising something and/or understanding what is going on than your code is though :p

Sounds good /re the death animation.
 
Its a fun little game, i enjoyed it..

You happy to take some constructive feedback?

I felt the guy didn't jump high enough but jumped to far forward. The pace was a bit fast. I found myself Mashing 'throw knife' then jumping and hoping the knives hit the zombies that i couldn't even see when i threw them..

Is it right for knifes to travel through barrels?

I really enjoyed it though.. Looks excellent, Keep up the work!
 
For me at least, on the menu, z is jump and x is knife.

But in game, z is knife and x is jump. Not sure if thats just me.

Lol, I want the feedback!

So I need to make the guy jump higher, but less distance, and slow down how fast he runs?

I am undecided on whether knives go past barrels or not. To be honest I dont have much of a preference either way.

Thanks for the feedback!

Either the first 2, or the third one.. All may make it boring..
