-- Prologue -- Zombies are stupid. They're so stupid, they don't even know how to eat. They probably have 0 IQ.
What's that? Some zombies managed to develop an IQ of 10? I wouldn't worry, due to the increased brain activity, their bodies decay faster. They probably have around 10 seconds before they die permanently. Unless they eat of course.
-- About -- Play as a zombie with an IQ of 10! Watch out though, you only have 10 seconds to eat someone before you rot permanently! So keep eating! Eat to live!
-- Controls -- WASD / Arrow Keys - Movement SPACE / Z - Attack Note: Due to you still having an IQ of 10, you can't actually attack while moving! (That's not a bug, that's a feature!)
-- Notes About the Source -- Although I'm using Haxe and OpenFL, I can't seem to compile for native. I've encountered this before and it seems to be an issue with putting functions in create() and new(), but since my target is really Flash, I have no intention of fixing it at the moment. That's also why I did NOT include the .wav's for the sound files I used. Anyway, it shouldn't be difficult to convert the .wav's to MP3s for native platforms.
EDIT: Derp. I've only been playing this thing on my desktop, and have always been using the standalone Flash Projector. I played it on a PC without one, and the background is displayed wrongly since this is supposed to be played on a 1280x480 screen. I might just go host the game somewhere.
I had to download the SWF. Why not put it on a webpage so it just runs? But I did download it and played it and the game has tremendous humor and a lot of promise. It's hard to actually eat people though--I was never sure where I was supposed to be standing. Then I ate up all the people and there was no-one left, so I just kept dying. Something missing here?
Really cute visuals, and a fun idea. Hard to tell which zombie you are, though, and really hard to catch up to a person long enough to attack them. Would be really fun with a little more work, though!
Awesome! Cool idea, herding the humans was good fun. I would suggest some kind of visual/audio cue to indicate that you are successfully hitting a human, since I never was sure I was doing it right until they either turned into a zombie or just walked away. :P
I struggled to manage to get a hit on anyone. Also pure luck that I discovered you could smash the doors. Other than that it is quite well rounded, I can see this becoming a nice little arcade game.
Fixed my game a bit by hosting it on a page instead of having you guys download the SWF! It's still buggy and weird, though. Thanks for your comments, guys!
I dig the minimalist graphics and it was a really fun concept! However I feel like it got frustrating trying to chase people down and dying over and over haha. I really liked that there were so many zombies on screen at once but at the same time it got semi confusing which one I was. Overall good stuff guys.
Nice pixels. I scored once, but I wasn't able to do it again. It's a bit complicated to understand what are the eating conditions. Do we have to be on the human, near him ?
Good, fun entry. Some more feedback when attacking a victim would be good, and it was a bit difficult to catch anyone. An interesting take on the theme.
