This game impressed me sooo much for the level of polish and the quality of the level design, for a 10 days work! So, that the gameplay, which is not trivial at all, looked like an easy task :D
Nice job really! Fantastic game
Nice and really polished game with awesome puzzles! The only negative I can say is sometimes you have to die too many times (actually that's maybe my own fault :D), but at least you can try again as much as you want. Impressive game, congratulations! :)
Thanks :)
I was really fond the the keep trying mechanic that came out of this game. The fact that you can use even a bad run to help your next, appealed to me.
And hey, it's more Zomployees helping each other out! :D
This game is super fun. The graphics, music, sfx and font all work together well. The level designs are also very good. The random levels option at the end is also appreciated. 😁
Just for feedback: I tried using a gamepad as well, but the zombies can't jump. There were some instances when they won't move so I would go back to the keyboard. Then after a bit, they would respond well to either keyboard or gamepad. But I still couldn't get them to jump with the gamepad. Maybe this is related to the known issue you mentioned about the jump button not responding? Hope this helps!
Excellent work!
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it :).
I'm using the new unity input system for the controls, and i didnt have gamepad in mind when setting them up. But I will look into it, and expand and improve the controls set up to allow for it.
Thanks a lot for the feedback, it's much apreciated!
Gold. 72 zombalities after 10. That is probably terrible but congrats on a great game. Mechanics work great and there seems to be more than one way to end a level.
72 Fantastic Zomployee's working togther! Teamwork!! :D
Tanks for playing!
very clever descision to use a cubic zombie! makes a lot of sense with the gameplay machanic.
also: great choice of music (some similarities to my game here;-)
Thanks :), really apreciate it! :)
Great game! I love the concept. The graphics, music, and UI were really pleasing, and the platforming and dead body mechanics were simple, yet effective. I also really liked the level design, and the way certain lights powered things was pretty cool! I did however yearn for some variety in the levels. I also personally found the levels quite easy, although both of those issues could easily be fixed if you had more time. Given the fact that we only had 10 days, the amount of content, and the level of polish on said content is quite incredible! Good job! :)
Thanks :).
Absoulty have room to increase difficulty from here. Needs some mroe mechanics to. Good thing i've had some other platformers to get ideas from these last few days :).
Thanks for playing, the feedback, and for making your game to :P.
Fun! Really liked the overall presentation with the sound, music, UI, everything really. Was impressed also with the number of zombie fatalities which can populate the level. (I went a bit crazy with them on the later levels!) Solid level design, and great job overall!
Thanks a lot!
More Zombies the better! Dead or ... undead :).
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed!
Interesting game! I like how the limited resources adds a layer of strategy to it.
The Zomployees are given State of the Art Uranium Rods! What more resource could they need! :D
That and Teamwork!
Thanks for playing! :)

This game is fantastic, well done. A really well thought out 2d puzzle / platformer, absolutley nailed all aspects for me! Fantastic effort!
Awesome, thanks a lot :). Really great to hear! Thanks for playing, and for the feedback! :)
Just played it now. This is really awesome. So well laid out and the mechanics are perfect. Not sure the all assets are sourced even so, it looks really good. Well done.
Thanks :). Glad you enjoyed it!
It's a good idéa and the execution is solid. It's a well rounded package and this could definetly be a proper product with enough work. Well done!
Aweome to hear, thanks a lot for playing, and for the feedback! :)
Lmao the music choice made me chuckle XD
Bit of Elevator music :P. I was after something that might be put on in an workplace to drive the employees a bit crazy :P, this is what I found :D.
Thanks for playing! glad you enjoyed it :), and thanks for the feedback
