(There'll be an Android version before too long, too...)

It's a 2D top-down shooter with upgradeable weapons, an endless battle against an ever-changing zombie horde. I could run you through more bullet points, but I think the art should be the focus here:











As I sort of implied earlier, I'm not the artist on our team. If anyone has questions about the art, though, I can pass it along to Daigo! He's been a pixel artist for years, and I've always admired his work.

I agree with Mosst! However, because the characters' "shadows" are lighter than the background, it looks weird, like the characters and backgrounds are designed for different games.

Are the maps pre-made, or randomly generated?
