    Hello all! :)

    I want you all to know about an upcoming game called Zombie Archer.
    [​IMG]

    Kill zombies with a bow and arrow as you attempt to rescue the princess from the zombie army. In this addicting twist on the classic zombie genre, you play as a peaceful sherwood archer turned zombie slayer. Spend your bounty money on powerful upgrades such as explosive arrows and lay waste to the undead horde.

    btw, I am the developer of the Zombie Archer. I am very interested in hearing comments. The video shows best but I'll also post some screenshots soon.

    Looks a little bland to me, sort of a hybrid between tower defense and physics puzzler.

    Thanks for the comment undeadcow.
    I'm still putting some work into the visuals but I've been told by some testers that the gameplay was a 10/10.

    Is that a turtle? I'm getting Disney's Robin Hood vibes all of a sudden.

    I think that the interface could be tailor-fitted to your game a little more. For example, the slider to select the level looks a little unprofessional. I don't mean to be negative, just trying to give a little constructive criticism.

    It looks alright but the main character looks like a turtle to me. Also i'm not a big fan of the art style but the gameplay looks solid.

    The archer is a turtle. There's a bit of a story behind it...

    Same here, looks like fun to defend the zombies but the visuals need a bit of improvement.

    Keep up the good work :)

    Is there much depth of gameplay and replay value?

    It is definitely replayable! I'll admit, even though I wrote the game, I still get stuck playing it. There's something so satisfying about shooting the zombies and hearing the arrows stick.

    The zombies are randomly generated within certain level constraints. You can never tell what will come out, or how many, or how fast they might be. That variation makes it different each time you play.

    There is a story to the game which explains (why turtle, archer, etc) so there is a certain depth to the game. However, it is still very easy to just pick up and play.

    The game is just about shooting arrows to zombies? No more content? I thought the game would have a great storyline and much replay value.

    Thanks for the comment Keriber. The game is about killing zombies with arrows. I've watched people play for hours without stopping, so I believe it has replay value. There is an upgrade system for your projectiles too, so you can buy better weapons which you'll need as you progress through the game.

    There is a pretty cool story (imo) to this game. I should update the video to demonstrate the story better.
