This is a nice game idea, though it would have been nice if it was mentioned that hitting the buildings kills the zombies though since this was a snake game I should have known that early on. 

P.S please try my game

Clever game. Nice mechanical twist on snake. Tbh my main criticism of the game would be the 2 wide streets when it can be too slow to change direction so I try to switch lanes to eat people and suddenly faceplant half my horde into a building before game input registers I want to continue on the other side of the street! Great idea though.

Good game. I really like it.

Yeah, the responsiveness of the controls really isn't a strong point of this game... It escaped me, most likely because I spent a really long time optimizing it so that I could get a really huge horde without severe lag. The current high I know is ~400 zombies =D

Thanks everyone for your feedback! If I decide to continue development after the jam, I will definitely take these points into account :)

That's an interesting take on the snake game! The visuals and style are really good. But maybe the controls feel a little bit unresponsive.

Liked the combination of the classic "Snake" and horde of zombies. Genius. I really enjoyed, with laughter, over and over again to beat own record. I would like to see improvements from the visual side: maybe simplify details, but add contrasts. A special compliment to the music, which I haven't grown tired of all this time

Now I'm going to eat some more humans

That game surprisingly turned out to be very funny! I bet it could be dozens of times more fun if you keep developing the idea. Chasing people and eating them is super satisfying!

I agree that the controls feel a bit clumsy—especially since people can run in any direction while you’re limited to roads. The hunger and wall-hit penalties also feel a little too unforgiving.

But despite all that, I see real potential in the idea!

Thanks for the feedback! I agree, the controls really need some work, it's a shame that all the ideas about this came to me after the release  =D

The intro is awesome! But the movement feels very awkward; there must be a better way to drive the horde.

Nah, but this is such a unique idea.

has potential

Great game, I don't know if the zombies were inspired by Zombie Tsunami, but the harmony with Snake is very good.

Developer(+1)

No, I didn't know about the Zombie tsunami, but really, there is something similar =D 

Thanks!

Very good twist to the classic game!
