Playing this was a nice experience :) Hopefully there will be more content and balancing, since it can easily evolve into a very nice strategy game!

Good game, I would suggest adding more mechanics and make a lot harder.

Very funny game! If you have fixed the balancing and even add some specialities to the zombies in an update it would be really cool!

Congrats to this game!

I personally like the simple graphic style however, I wish the zombies were more animated but I understand the decision due to time. Also, I feel like there was some lack of information when selecting abilities I didn't realize at first they were specific to a zombie and thought it was all. I also, it wasn't easy to tell the difference in abilities between each one. Regardless, still a good entry.

The graphics are a little simple but I got used to it and the game was actually really fun.

My main issue was that it's not really clear where zombies can and cannot spawn. But beside that, the animations are good, the concept is good, the music is great and the gameplay is fun.

I had a freeze at level 4 so I couldn't go farther. But still, well done!

Nice thing that when you fail it doesn't restart it just goes to next way, good game design, you don't want players to leave early during game jam.

Gives me a bit of Left 4 Dead vibes with the music.

Also first time I see reduced cost as an upgrade in game.
