Love this style of game, haven't played too many rail shooters recently but I wanna look into other well-made ones like this. It's fast-paced and feels very true to the genre. I'd love to see more like it, really glad I checked this out for a video (:
I grew up playing house of the dead on the Wii and let me tell you, this brought me back! I would replay this game, as it is legitimately fun! Not sure if you have the desire to, but this could be a full game on its own if added more enemies and power-ups etc. I played this late at night and it really hit! Great game! Can't wait to try out more by you :)
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed your playthrough) Yeah, probably I should continue the development. Unfortunately I wrote spaghetti code full of hacks and shortcuts which means that I have to write everything from scratch((( Soon I'm gonna release my new game (next week probably) and after that I come back to Lighthouse of the Dead as I see that it really worth it.
Of course! I've got so much positive feedback! I definitely should continue the development! Currently my main focus is on a christmas side project, but I'm planning to turn Lighthouse of the Dead into a full-fledge game. First of all, I'm going to add more content. Since the beginning of the development I tried to make my code architecture more or less modular and reusable so that I could easily create new dismemberable enemies, for example. But I still have some giant monster classes, cases of coupling here and there, and other dirty stuff that makes me feel headache. So, my primary concern is to clean all the mess I left, and make my workflow as smooth as possible in order to provide a good product in the long term. I wanna realize all my bloody FPS fantasies with this game, make a bunch of levels and add boss fights.
This was such a fun game! Definitely reminds me of House of the Dead a bit. Ran into a bug where when I died and tried to take drugs to revive but I couldn't (Had unlimited drugs). Other than that game ran great and was fun to play!
First of all congratulations and thank you for this "beuty" and addisctive videogame, its really funny project.
The only "mistakes" that i saw: Sometimes when you finish reloading your weapon, it did a shot and i dont press any input. Its a little mistake, but i said, in case you plan to make a sequel or continue your game (and you should :) )
and another mistake its that, when you kill a frog, usually you dont know it, and sometime change you objective,i think that, you could add a signal (like audio, message...) to know when they are dead.
The good thing? all, its a really great game, the gun shot sound its really satisfyting, bodies destroying its beauty. And the most important, its so funny!!
This gave me the nostalgic vibes of arcades..i miss these type of games on arcades.. barely seen any rail shoot em up games on arcades near me lately, thanks dude for making this gam
It's fantastic, Bro, it's a clear tribute to House of the Dead, great music, very fluid gameplay, without a doubt, it's amazing, the only bad thing is that I wanted to face a boss lol, but your game is undoubtedly fantastic. 🤘🎮👍 Game Complete Here (No Deaths)
Wow, this was intense. This is probably the most immersive pure fun game I've ever played on Itch.io, there were so many moments where I just lost myself as I felt like they really were right in front of my face. Thanks so much for making this. I'll recommend this game to people I know.
Thank you so much! It's such a weird feeling, I worked on this project for quite a while without any feedback and relied only on my intuition, and now I see that I made something fun! I can't even describe how glad I am ^_^
Hiii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback about it ^^, hopefully it is useful to you :D
-Awesome concept adaptation out of the box. :O I really loved how well you've captured the house of the dead vibes.
-Gameplay mechanics are really well done and fun, I'll say that adding some extra side mechanics to the core gameplay and some quality of life improvements (reloading with "R", etc.) the game could easily be expanded.
-Really good visual style it suits the arcade vibes the game gave me ^^.
-Have you considered expanding the game? I'm 100% serious, a 1/1:30h campaign with a short and interesting story+ that sweet soundtrack+some replay value and you'll have a pretty good product to be honest ^^
Hopefully this is useful to you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)
Thank you so much for the video and your feedback! I'm really glad that you enjoyed it. I've worked on this game for quite a while without any publicity and started being afraid of being able to find the audience. Now I see that my fear was unjustified :D I'm gonna continue the development, add more weapon, enemies, and bosses! Luckily, I thought about it in advance and the architecture of my code allows me to extend the game without too much headache.
I love the Bizarre style of the enemies and the world, a great fast paced experience. I'm excited to keep playing this and seeing more of the crazy world
Nice game! Always exiting to see new lightgun games get made. Biggest need is the option to remove the crosshairs so you can just point and shoot with PC lightguns.
Next biggest need is a sequel. With more.. everything, building off of this.
I couldn't seem to find a weakpoint on the zombies that would bring it down in fewer shots. Don't know if there's suppose to be one but it's a very satisfying mechanic to have when you have enemies that are bullet-spongy.
Also it seems that when there are enemies in the background they can't be hit until you move forward. You ought to be able to hit any target on the screen.
Thank you for such a profound comment! I'm glad that you enjoyed it) And especially thanks for the useful feedback. Yeah, I planned to make this game bigger but I hadn't shown it to anyone till one week before the release. I needed feedback in order to decide whether anyone is actually would be interested in my game. Luckily, my expectations are satisfied and I see that I should continue the development)))
I made the enemies spongy on purpose cuz I knew that it's gonna be satisfiable. Also, I should definitely do something about the enemies in the background. Maybe I should make a new animation for zombies of them getting out of the ground so that they could be hidden from the Player at first.
Great game I hope to see more of this get expanded upon. Not my first arcade rail shooter on the channel but certainly one of my top faves. Please remember to share this video out to your community as it helps it getting shared on youtube itself.

Haha) I had a lot of fun watching this video, thank you so much!
MY GUY YOU HAVE TO MAKE MORE LEVELS AND A TIME SYSTEM THIS IS AMAZING
I'm glad you enjoyed it so much :D Thank you! Yeah, I have to add more stuff and I will
That is amazing news, I hope the new content is as good as this
Thank you so much for the video! It's always so pleasant to watch playthroughs of my games)
maybe add a remove lag feature or setting? maybe resolution changer?
can't play this game. :/
change the resolution of your pc manually.
also you dont just "remove lag"
Game developing is much harder than you think and optimizing games isn't particularly ease either.
i said maybe
how can i reload the weapon in this game bruh
Right mouse button
Thanks alot for this little tip.
I was beginning to get mildly annoyed

That is really exciting!! I can't wait to check out your new game!
Included Lighthouse Of The Dead as part of a vid on horror themed games @ 1:18:40
Thank you so much!
some guy called me sicko for making a dumb furry killing game. Barely any gore. AND YOUR FUCKING DRINKING IT IN THIS GAME WOOOOOO.
I played with sinden lightgun, and it was great! Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Great little game. I just got a sinden lightgun and I wanted to test it with something quick and this worked great, just plug, play and kill frogs.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!
This game was made for me. The cheezy 80s horror feel, the fun gameplay and the nice sound design. 10/10
Thank! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it)
Its a fun game but my aim sucks lol
Thank you for the video!
Wow! Thank you so much for such a fun and exciting video! Sorry for so long, haven't checked itch io for a while
Awesome game! Very funny and unusual concept =)
Thanks!
Loved the gameplay and gore, hope development continues!
Many thanks! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the game and recorded the video ^_^ I promse, development continues!
Without a doubt one of the coolest games on itch.io, it really feels like one of those old arcade shooters.
Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the video! I'm really appreciate it)

Such an amazing video! Dudes, thank you so much, it was really fun to watch!
Happy you enjoyed the video and was really looking forward to fighting a boss or the boat but still had fun with it
So, sooner or later I'm gonna add the boss. I keep working on the project, the current version is a kind of demo.
Looking forward to playing again when you add the boss
