This game was very well made, loved the concept and being able to control the zombies. Some levels required some strategy too! Honestly I wish there were more levels xD
PS. took me a while to figure out that you can click and drag and select the zombies in an area, I was clicking each one on its own ha!
Appreciate the feedback! I updated the game description to clarify the click and drag selection and I'll look into updating the in-game instructions after the jam.
This was fun! Spooky music and a fun and simple game mechanic. I enjoyed playing it when things were going my way, I think the only issues I had were that the horde was a little hard to manage, their health depleted a little too fast for my liking, leading me to pick health as an upgrade any time it was offered, and the zombies could sometimes pile in a way that only let one zombie attack the person, instead of 2-3. I'm also not sure if this is possible, but locking the cursor to the game window would be great, since the right clicking often caused me to bring up a menu, and if I did this while left clicking quickly trying to get the menu out of the way, it'd click something like Inspect Element that would bring me to a new page (not your fault, just an option of Edge). You can already drag to select zombies, I'd probably just have the player dragging to select and left clicking on the person to get rid of that possibility. But again, I did have a great time and I think you did a great job.
Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! I'll keep your tips in mind and I'll look into improving the game balance and controls after the jam.
The game has visual bugs where everytime I reset the game doesn't show everything on screen. sometimes its a black screen, other times I see health bars appear, other times the map appears but the characters are just invisible. The controls and how you move your zombie is annoying. Why cant I just move the zombie without clicking on the zombie first. Also the game doesn't give you enough time to kill a human. The zombie's health goes down too fast and you have to start over again trying to re-select the zombie you are trying to control. This needs a fix up.
Appreciate the feedback! What browser do you use? We tested the game on Chrome and didn't see any visual bugs. Can you share a screenshot?
firefox. and it may be the problem.
Thanks for the screenshot! I'll look into fixing it after the jam.
