I like the concept, but it would be super nice if we could kill the humans and continue to grow up your horde, I hope you find the time to polish the game later since its a nice take on the theme!


If you can find the time, would you please check out our game as well?!

Our twist of the theme is that a critic tries to play your unfinished game, and you fight from inside the computer to make him like it.

This was quite an entertaining game! It's like guiding toddlers away from making dumb mistakes like touching a hot pan, fork in an outlet. Having to constantly move the lone surviving zombie who's about to wander into a bullet was pretty fun. Nicely done!
