Much more difficult than I expected even with the time stopping ability! Like the others, this would be a lot more fun if it reset the level instead of the whole game. Neat game though, I like the tank controls that's classic zombie game

Yeah, having to replay levels was a bummer, but other than that a fun game with wonderful SFX.
I think there's some potential here for some interesting puzzling, but I was too frustrated by having to replay every level after failing. That seems pretty brutal, especially in a jam setting.
I also learned about the "time freeze" mechanic from the comments here. It did not occur to me to ever stop running... the zombies were coming for me.
I was pretty entertained by the SFX!
Very unique and fun game! I like how time freezes when you stop moving, giving you time to plan your route through the zombies. It would be nice if each level was a checkpoint, as it took me about 8 tries to beat the second level and it got a bit tedious to replay the first level over and over again.
Even a single zombie can completely ground the player :P (maybe add a gun with limited ammo?). Super fun and addicting!
Very cool entry! I really like how the standing still time stopping mechanic works, and how the music follows also pauses. You created a really interesting puzzle game, congrats! c:
I like how you need to plan where zombies that are already in forward need to move before you even get there, nice puzzle
