Arrow keys move, Z uses your melee weapon and X shoots.

Run is a exercise of moving towards nothing, shedding your possessions in an attempt to just survive in a ever increasingly hostile world.

Nice mechanic. I like the idea of a player losing their items in order to progress instead of gaining. few of the zombies would bug out and spin in circles otherwise I didn't have any issues during play.

Pretty tiles and interesting mechanic. Sometimes the zombie AI was a little iffy, but it held my interest. Fantastic work!

I enjoyed this. I started playing the game by fighting the zombies around me but quickly learned, as the title certainly suggests, that running was the best option. Well-designed in that sense. It wasn't very difficult, and a new obstacle or two would have kept my guessing. Great work!

I felt like the grabby terrain was the true enemy at times, but the game maintained tension and losing items throughout rather than gaining made for an interesting play experience. Might have been nice to have a level with all items before you start discarding stuff. Also very nice tiles!

Beat it. A health bar would be a welcome addition.

I like the concept of leaving behind stuff. Still, I don't think that is an issue for the player since running away is still the best strategy.

Fascinating concept - it deserves to be fleshed out into a full-fledged game.

I like your graphics and concept. Maybe it would be a good idea to use mouse for shooting? Then you could shoot in any direction, not only horizontal/vertical. Also zombies AI could be better.
