You the zombie leader and you need to kill, send your zombie solder through the village defance.

There is no tutorial in the game so here some tips:
1. You have 200 seconds on every level (Zombie can only walk at night).
2. Upgrad zombies by press 'B' to open the Upgrad menu in game.
3. There is 30 levels, and every time you play the levels they look diffrent.

The game was made in C# XNA, Paint.NET and GarageBand.
If you cant start the game please install:
- .Net 4.0

This is one of the funnest games I've rated so far. :D

The presentation is alright (graphics and sound), but I found the game too easy. I could win by simply spamming an endless stream of zombies without any kind of tactics involved. Of course, I know it's hard to make and then properly balance a game like this in a short time.

Nice game! Wow, level 30 is hard. If you don't have tons of money saved up, you can actually get stuck there.

:D Tower defense the game I like ^.^ well done :3

Hm, I actually can't play it. I unzipped the rar (which you should make a zip next time), and ran the exe but nothing pops up or happens. I'm on Windows 8.

Nice TD overall.

SirJson17 Dec 2012, 21:12

You can almost beat the entire game just with the second zombies ;)

TheH17 Dec 2012, 21:38

decent concept, but I found the balancing to be quite out there. all the levels, save for the last, could be beaten easily by just clicking one button like mad. then the last level became too hard.

I really liked this one, the only problem is that it gets obsessively hard later on in the game. I couldn't get past level 23. Nevertheless, this game was really fun, the graphics and sound are nice, and fit the game perfectly! I really hope you continue this one.

Very nice game! Only thing I wanted in level 30 was a reset button, for the moment when I was out of money and just had to wait for the timer to go out, so I could retry the level..

Other than the audio being kinda quiet it was a really neat game. Like the idea

I tried to run the game but it immediately crashed. I'll try again later on another computer.

Balance feels a little off. Could use rate-limiting on the zombie release.

Blodyavenger18 Dec 2012, 20:18

I liked the inverse TD idea but like others said already, almost the whole game can be completed by zombie runners. I had problems from level 21 though.

sanderman18 Dec 2012, 20:18

Nice game. Sort of a reverse tower defense. It runs very smooth and graphics are okay. Audio is a bit soft though.

Balance could use some work. Most levels are incredibly easy by spamming while the end is a huge difficulty spike.

This was a lot of fun! First tower defense game I like!

I think that money reset on each level would make the game more interesting. Instead of tryin to find a good solution, I just try to save the most money I can for the next level. It's spoiling the spawning fury fun of the game imho.
With a fix ammount of money for each level I could waste all of my extra money and start thinking when things get more difficult.
