Awesome game. Really keeping to the theme. I'd love to see this expanded further!

This was a blast! It was so satisfying to grow my horde of zombies but heartwrenching to see those terrible soldiers kill them off! At one point my horde was 200, but then a massive group of soldiers killed them all including myself. Great game! Can't wait to see how this grows if you work on it more.

That was fun, with a lot of zombies you almost got "liquid" :P Just a little bit of music would be nice! Those stupid humans!

If you can, please rate my game! And habe fun with your gamedev journes :D

You can really see a great path for this game. I understand not having the full time to work on the game. You did amazing with the time you had. I felt like a zombie king, the hoard was with me! Then they started killing my babies... no one killed my babies... "Go eat their brains" I yelled.... awesome! Lots of fun, great take on the theme. Nice way to make me feel zombieish.

Heh, funny "don't kill my zombie family" game :D

That's a fun mechanic! Controls work well. The AI and pathfinding seemed to be working a treat. Great job especially in such a short time!

Never knew I needed a "build-your-own-zombie-horde" game until now. The concept is really fun!

Hope you keep working on this, you've got something very interesting here!

Oh man I loved this!! I thought the graphics were great, real simple and nice. The gameplay loop is really fun too. I thought you nailed it. Sound would have been nice, but you can't have it all in only 10 days!

Thanks for the game. I really dislike the soldiers. they killed all my friends... and we just wanted their brains...  ;-)

I really like the interactions of the swarm following the player.  Overall great job!

This is the first Zombie game I played where I was on the zombie side. I liked that reversal!

nice game! the mechanic is simple , but challenging to sustain, I like the concept of building up a zombie army and completely overpowering the humans,  I would suggest adding a specific zombie with certain abilities to join in the mix, (projectile, speed ,etc ) overall I enjoyed playing this one ! congratulations! keep it up!

Very good idea. The atmosphere is nice too.

I'd like to see how the horde's gonna deal with a soldier with a flamethrower :P

Nice game. I love how big of a crowd you can build in this game. I got up to 95 before I got gunned down back to just 2 followers.

Art is really good too, I didn't hear any music or sound sadly (played on web). However, I was playing "Thriller" in my head while playing the game. XD

Great fun game!

Sweet game. I really like how the horde mechanics felt. They followed the player in a nice swarm.

The general concept is good. Very curious where you could have taken this if you had more time. The pixel art was great. I like that the zombies looked like they were dragging one of their legs.

Outside of the obvious lack of sound, I'd think it'd be nice to be able to hide from gunfire behind cars and fences. That would open up some strategies. Maybe some variety in zombies and enemies? Zombifying some tougher enemies create special zombies?

Overall, great job!
