The level looks good and the game play feels nice. I got ran over a lot but it was still fun to play. I think the way this relates to the theme could be more apparent.

This was chaos, good work haha! I feel like the camera could have been closer to the player and followed them smoothly, as playing from a distance is strange to me. I like that the cars don't purely travel towards you, they have some leniency as they reach you, as they continue straight when they get really close (nice touch).
So this one gave me a good laugh. Nice use of particle effects like the splashing in the puddles, etc.
I find it funny that your character is using an umbrella during the zombie apocalypse and the cars must be driven by zombies because they aimed for me instead of the zombies.
Fun time!

Daisy ChainI had fun! I laughed when an oncoming car just went full homicidal and was driving straight down the side walk. Sticking to just the right side of the map will allow you to go on forever it seems without danger. Even doing nothing zombies just fall apart on the players circle so maybe some thicker zombies in the mix next time! Best part of the game is trying to time when to run the pack of humans to the safe zones. More incentive to cross sides or forced crossings could make the player have to make more choices. Great work!

Energy CrisisI like the surreal environment, really fitting. Figuring out the game mechanics didn't take me too long, although some on screen hints would have been a nice touch. The game was fun to play, clever idea to use the area around the player to both shoot zombies and gather hoomans. However, cars approaching from behind got lots of cheap kills in - an exclamation mark to give a warning would maybe ease the frustration a bit. Nice entry to the jam and a 3D one as well - I still don't have the courage to do anything 3D for a jam! Good job!
