It's a cool idea to control a horde of zombies that are sometimes minding their own business instead of following my inputs. The game feels smooth and definitely fun. I wish there were more possibilities to gather a really huge uh... flock? and see what happens. Or perhaps some strategy thing as mentioned in other comments. I'm sure that this game has some potential!

I really liked it! I just missed some juice when killing people (screams XD)

I never new how much I wanted to be a Zombie Hive Mind! I love the idea and that you do not have total control. Music is a little repetetive. Making the level smaller and more confined, with carfully placed enemies and rooms could result in an interesting little strategy game.

Nice game! It is simple yet fun!

It introduces the zombie apocalypse from a different perspective and I like it.

I think it would be cool if the zombies just spread everywhere rather than following player though.

Nice Job!

Nice concept ! I was a little bit lost at times, knowing wich zombies i was controlling or not (can they escape your control?) But anyway smooth game !

Developer

Thanks! How it works is the more zombies you have, the greater the range they have to run after a human. e.g. when you have 3 zombies they are likely to attack exactly who you want, but when you have 10 or 20 they often run off by themselves chasing after the humans.

Love it! I like eating humans. There is really that feeling of loosing control. And I like how the game fit the theme in different ways. First to have no direct controll and the zombies too. Good job. And by the way, the art style is great too.

I think this fits the theme in a few interesting ways, with the out of control zombie horde and also the lack of direct control with the zombies following the cursor pretty loosely. I really loved the special zombie types you get for killing humans with harder weapons. I think if taking this further, it would be really cool to only have to kill some of the humans to complete the stage, so you're making more interesting choices about who to kill and whether you want to risk taking out harder humans or not! Good job!

Nice, simple game with a good gameplay loop -- and the difficulty curve with the humans slowly getting better weapons was decent, though I felt it took a bit of a leap with the molotov one-hit-ko'ing my entire army. All in all, a pretty solid submission!

Decent game, but I think it could've fit the theme a bit better. Was quite fun. though! Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the review! You make a good point, the army doesn't really get out of control until the 3rd level where you have a large hoard but I could have probably made the zombies get out of control earlier.

Fun game but I think it could use more visual feedback, some screenshake when you infect someone would feel very satisfying. Good job!

Developer

Thanks :) I That’s a good point, I haven’t used screen shake before since I’m quite new to game development but I’ve heard people say that it really helps polish the game so I’ll be sure to learn it

Nice concept! I had that "click" moment in which I realized that I'm the zombie, not the victim human hahah
You managed to do a complete experience, and nice zombie variations. Congratz

Developer

Thanks a lot! I'll check your game out now :

Hahaha, it's a reverse survival horror. Really smart.

Starting of with just a few, then all of a sudden trying to figure out how to split my zombie hoard :D

Love the simplistic pixel art design approach you took on this game jam!

This game is really fun! It's great to let your army of zombies loose on the people :D

Very fun to play!, keep up the good work.

Concept is wonderful! Well done!

Developer

Thank you very much :)

I've got to say controlling a zombie hoard is a lot more fun than I imagined, well presented, while there's not much interaction by the player other than 'point mouse over someone and they die', it was fun to watch and I played through to the end

Developer

Thanks a lot :)
