I thought the third stage was an endless mode until I found the exit and camp there until it opens. The first zombie also jumpscared me. 

I have a few points want to mention this game:

  • The gun in the right arm is held with left arm. In my headcanon, she is get corrupted/infected so much her right hand turns into left hand. 
  • You cannot attack the enemy across the train track, even though you have range attack. 
  • The automatic targeting system after you defeat an enemy doesn't always pick the nearest enemy, making the third stage more difficult. 

Other than that, this is a good game. I was afraid this will turn into memorization game the longer I play since there are new commands for new stages, but the last stage is the perfect way to end it. Nice job!

I'm not quite sure if I'm understanding the game play, I press SPACE to target the zombie and started typing words but nothing seem to be happening. Am I missing something?

Press 'Enter' key to register words, there's clues as to which words you can use at the beginning of the level, and you unlock more words as the game goes on! I'll update the description to have clearer controls, thanks!

Turned out I'm brain dead as the narrator suggested, just had to read properly. xD

Really cool game design! Got to the third level but didnt make it.
