Nice small game and I really like that gathering the zombies to one area with the right click is balanced with the zombies eating each other. Great Polish!
-Enjoyment: Very fun to try and gather up the zombies for the attack.
-Creativity: Very cool idea!
-Presentation: The pixel art is put together well. Nice sounds too.
-Neat game indeed!! Please check out my non-creative entry when you can :D
cool concept
great concept! nice idea of the zombie moving mechanic
Nice submission, its pretty interesting. My feedback is that i do kind of wish the zombies didnt eat each other because that made it hard to coordinate. However, I really like the idea of gathering them and then strategizing on how to get them to eat the humans without all dying, it requires a good bit of positional thinking. Great work
Super cool presentation! The zombies being able to eat each other was a nice touch. Controls could use some work, but overall a good submission!
This is pretty fun, though a bit awkward to control. Perhaps it’d be nice if it was clear how large the radius is when calling zombies to one place. A good effort though, and I love the way it’s presented!
The music is a big highlight for me, great arcade feel with an eerie vibe. I found the zombies a little hard to control on a laptop with a trackpad, but I will try again later with a real mouse. Overall, I had fun with this one!
Thank you! Juloroti did a great work with the music and sounds to setup the vibe.
Really nice game, but how are the headless zombies eating... XD
Good job :)
Great game!
Mais quel jeu incroyable ça me troue le cul
Nice work, and neat concept. I wish there was a little more depth to the control you have over the zombies, but it has a lot of potential!
Really fun. I actually thought the fact that the zombies ate each-other was pretty funny and makes sure you need to strategize a bit more.
It's quite challenging until you get a strategy down, but some cool potential here.
Enjoyed it, great job
If this doesn't get in the top 100, the jam is flawed. I am not exaggerating when I say this is the most fun game in the jam I've played so far!
Thanks a lot ! Your comment is heart-warming, I'm really happy you enjoyed playing our game ! ^^
The game is very fun. It is amazing, and one this you could do is to use a wasd for a selected zombie, and consider adding copo. I think it can be put it on steam with a little bit more work. It art and sound is great I love it.
Love this idea... I was a little confused at first, but onced I was reoriented myself It was a blast, no pun intended... Alot of people bite off more then they can chew with game jams (pun intended), but you accomplished alot and kept it well balanced.
Thanks ! Yeah, it's hard to be objective about the intuitiveness of a game you've created yourself, so we didn't know if people would easily understand the goal/controls. I'm glad you got the hang of it and enjoyed playing in the end :)
Really great! I loved the art style. The music was nice. The zombies may have been a little loud. Gameplay was also really fun, but I noticed that it doesn't really incentivize using the group. I found the best strategy was just to micro manage one zombie, dodging fire and closing in. Whenever the zombies group up they tend to do more damage to each other than the humans. I would say either remove their ability to eat each other, or turn the extra zombies into a "lives system" where you try to keep them alive so that you have extra zombies. Overall great game I gave it a perfect score
Yeah, that's precisely the problem we faced, group management isn't rewarded enough despite being the main gameplay element. Thanks for the suggestions!
Very nice game! Seems very polished and was fun! My only critique is that at times it was hard to know what was going on, a little more visual cues would have been nice. Other than that, loved it!
already played a very large number of games, yours is one of the best
This game is so fun, the fact that you have to keep the zombies from eating each other makes me focus so hard!
Thanks a lot! That's exactly what we aimed for, even if it can become frustrating at times ^^'
