Loved the silly voice sfx for the zombies. Reminded me old warcraft peon/peasant sounds! Also appreciated some good ol fashion necro summoning.

Some of the movement and pacing for zombies was a little slow. Wished I could have more than 1 moving at a time. I think speeding them up would go a long way for gameplay as well.

Look forward to future submissions!

I couldn't get the zombie helper to spawn for me. Other than that it was a good game!

I like the idea of manually moving your zombies around to solve puzzles. One thing that I wanted was to be able to control multiple zombies at one time. The zombies are also quite slow so killing a guard far away from where you want that zombie to move to, you'll have time for a short nap haha. Waiting for one zombie to reach his destination before being allowed to move another zombie made me cry.

Nice work though, the puzzles were neat and I liked the concept!

Haha I also found the waiting time for zombies to do their thing very annoying when testing but by that point I didn't have enough time to fix! Thank you for the feedback, I really enjoyed making the game and look forward to joining more jams!
