Ghoul Rush is a game about small-scale apocalypse. You play as a necromancer hell-bent on converting entire villages into undead. Unfortunately, your brain-eating minions are really stupid (duh!) and you have to control them manually - all at the same time!

The game uses lots of paid and free graphics assets from Unity Asset Store. We've also used free sounds from freesound.org by DjCHAOS, Sonic, jorickhoofd, Under7dude, MrPokephile.

Music is "Fluffing a Duck" by Kevin McLeod, http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/

Very cute zombie apocalypse.

Very Cute I really liked it

Jaloko9 Dec 2014, 08:47

Awesome graphics and audio. I liked the further levels where you could get skeleton warriors.

Fun game, and it gets more and more challenging. I like it. But how does it fit the theme? :)

ChaosCultauthor9 Dec 2014, 08:51

@janovbyrnisson Well, it's all on a single screen, isn't it?... Kind of a stretch, I know (-8

I never thought that the zombie apocalyse could be so cute!

allurious9 Dec 2014, 10:43

This is a really fun little game, love the humor and the concept! Really nice art/audio too.

Nice zombie game. Good graphic and super sound effects ;)

Unfortunately the pathfinding is sub-optimal. The persons tend to go straight to the edge and get stuck there. So it's too easy to catch them.

Overall it's a nice little game with a lot of potential.

I rated enough high for all except for the theme (although the screen is static there is more than one screen).

Very challenging (at level 4 or 5 with the skeletons and the guy shooting bullets).

Very well made :)

Pretty cute ! love it ^^

SpartanIceCream9 Dec 2014, 11:41

This was pretty fun to play, good job.

Emkani9 Dec 2014, 11:44

A dude with a gun and hat totally wrecked me. Nice clean concept.

HappyTransportGames9 Dec 2014, 14:56

Fun game, nice idea! I have trouble connecting it to the theme though, as others said too...

Asaratha9 Dec 2014, 17:30

Very neat game, but sometimes in the first level my zombies got stuck on the fence and couldn't move, made me lose.

EthanWebster9 Dec 2014, 17:33

I loved the game - it would make a very fun mobile game too. Great work!

WatercressStudios9 Dec 2014, 18:38

Fun and clever, but seems to have ignored the theme.

Vtor9 Dec 2014, 18:38

Good mechanic.

GSM Productions9 Dec 2014, 18:39

Very funny! I liked the "braaains" they say all the time!

charlesque9 Dec 2014, 18:40

Wow, awesome ! I really like the game design and the realization is great too. Very nice game :)

raincole9 Dec 2014, 19:30

Well polished! It's very satisfying to control a zombie army to destroy the gunman hahaha

Iak9 Dec 2014, 19:30

It seems a little unrelated to the theme, but I do quite like the gameplay.

ChaosCultauthor9 Dec 2014, 19:37

@raincole it's a Van Hellsing =)

Xanjos10 Dec 2014, 01:12

Really nice and well polished entry. Had a lot of fun playing this and I like how each of your zombies' movements are independent from each other (which makes for some pretty interesting brain eating strategies).

Murchurl10 Dec 2014, 09:29

Nice outline shader! gameplay is simple and fun! Good entry!

louis.denizet10 Dec 2014, 09:31

Simple but really well made and clean! Good job here ;)

01rafael10 Dec 2014, 13:15

Nice concept of control. Game not really connected to theme. But, anyway thats a great work! I like it.

Teesquared10 Dec 2014, 13:15

Cool and innovative way to control your zombies. Very fun and complete game.

Really good graphics. Simple gameplay, I enjoy it!

Yaroslav Kravtsov11 Dec 2014, 20:37

Super! Lot of fun. Gameplay about supremacy. Good graphics. Intuitive controls. Soft learning curve. No blah-blah text. Perfect combination. Only one bug - sometimes you can't see people and zombies behind nearest objects (walls).

Leaghorn12 Dec 2014, 11:32

Wow. Really well done. Nice animations.

gre12 Dec 2014, 13:34

Very funny game ^^ The sounds are super and it looks good too :)

goodbadokay12 Dec 2014, 19:36

what a nice cartoon zombie game)
I like the idea of controlling swarm of undeads
You should definitely release full game in future!

kipelovets13 Dec 2014, 19:47

Wow, really neat game. The controls are perfect — it's so fun to control a real crown of zombies with my only WASD.
I personally really like zombie theme)

t4u24 Dec 2014, 08:14

Smooth controls. Cute graphics. Nice audio. Loads of fun.
