A game where you are a checkers piece who fights zombies. Made in 9 hours for Mini Jam: Islands, with the limitation "On a grid"

Stuff you should know:

 - WASD to jump in the four directions

- Zombies slowly kill you when they touch you.

 - Jumping over enemies kills them

- Big enemies need three hits to die

 - Medkits heal you and one spawns every wave.

Known Issues:

 - If you die and respawn, only the first wave of zombies will come and nothing else. The best thing you can do until I fix it is refresh the browser page whenever you die.

 - The game is ridiculously imbalanced, until I fix it, pretend it is super balanced.

Update:

- I won't fix the bugs anytime soon. I tried updating the game with bug fixes and sound effects, but the updated version was laggy and lacked music. I decided to re-upload the previous working file, but it was corrupted or something. I tried rebuilding the game, recompressing old builds, but nothing worked. It made me question why I was spending as much time saving a low-quality jam game than it actually took to make it. I decided to cut my losses and give up. About an hour after having given up, out of nowhere, I had an idea to copy the old working file. The idea seemed kind of dumb, copying a corrupted file would just create another corrupted file, right? But this was kind of like my last option. Crossing my fingers like never before, I uploaded the copied file to itch.io, and for no reason at all, it worked. Never before have I been happier about working for hours to only be back where I started. Fixing the respawning issue would literally only require one line of code, but the experience was just too traumatic for me.

Have fun, and tell me what wave you got to in the comments!
