24 alternatives to ZombieRun – retro platformer that brings back sexy to local co-op

I have now finished 2 years of hard work with an indie game called ZombieRun. Game description: After a massive apocalyptic thunderstorm you find yourself in the middle of a dark graveyard with two hungry zombies drooling over you. It seems that the thunder wasn’t the only thing that hit the world while you were out. Do you want to know what it was? It’s time to act fast, stay alive and get to the city for some answers. That’s where it all begins - it's you, your fast reflexes and guns against all the dead lurking around. The game features classical weapons, gang of living dead and…

    I need an extra incentive to run and I love games, so I vibe-coded a real world zombie chasing game where a horde of zombies tries to catch you. If you escape you win, if not you lose. You can try it here: https://runwithzombies.com It uses your phone's GPS to render you on your real location with zombies around you. It's login free (although you can login to save your score), free to play and ad free. It runs on your browser and from my tests it runs better in Chrome. I would love to have some honest feedback. Would you use this? If not why? What would make it better?

    Hi hi, I made a little Halloween themed game this week to show off my new terminal. You can play it in the browser. at https://joel.tools/halloween/ Two years ago, I started building an experiment tracking tool for myself as I have been venturing into ai research, and it has morphed into a terminal with rich content support and a bunch of fancy features. https://github.com/JoelEinbinder/snail/ I can't recommend people start using snail for important stuff today, but I think the game is fun and it shows off a lot of the capabilities of the…

    My background project for the last two years has been re-implementing my 2004 C++ shoot'em up game in TypeScript + WebGL, and it's finally done (just in time for the 20th anniversary!)

    Happy Halloween! Instead of going to a Halloween party this year, my wife and I decided to run a tiny Hackathon and built this little retro choose-your-own-adventure to pay tribute to a popular series of yesteryear. Try and escape! Also pumpkin mode!! We made liberal use of ChatGPT for code, DALLE3/Midjourney for images, but did most of the storyboarding/writing ourselves because we couldn't stand the style of GPT4/Claude.
