big fan of the animation and visuals, really cool artstyle :)

It took me a little while to understand the controls, but I’m actually a big fan of the idea that your actions reduce the time you have left.

The story and animations are funny. 😄 The gameplay feels pretty clunky, though — although considering you’re playing as a zombie, that almost feels thematically appropriate.

the zombie being slow was the idea. well spotted !

The animations are really fun! The gameplay itself is a bit slow and not much of a challenge, but it’s fine for a short game jam really.

The game looks really funny. However, hitboxes could be a bit smoother, and I'm wondering if there's a way to dodge negative events (rat, trash, etc.). Anyway, good job!

What a cool starting animation with the bird stealing the brain! Also nice Denglisch with Zeit and Speed on top of each other :)

Developer

Thank you ! We noticed the Denglisch at the last second and it was too late to change it hahah

For me jumping up while pressing right worked. Don't know why it does it, but that happens randomly to me in Unity. The surfaces are smooth. Probably the Player Script should be less sensitive, or it is the transition of animations.

If you get stuck on the red car just jump left and press right again. Great assets! :D

Sorry, I did not get past a red car, I just got stuck? The controls feel a bit weird and need some polish, but I like the idea of a zombie trying to get his brain back! :D

I really love this interpretation of the theme! The controls were a bit clunky, but I made it! :)

Thank you for Playing !
