Infectious! A simple game where the unconventional weapon is zombies! Simply click to place a zombie and try to infect all of the humans. The red barrels will explode, killing nearby zombies and humans, however green barrels will turn any nearby humans into zombies!
Nice Idea! Gameplay is a bit random though, my zombies sometimes seem to be well fed and are not going after the humans, but it gets better in later stages.
I liked the game. I did wish for a bit more direct control of the zombies. Not direct-direct, but something like attraction or something. Sometimes humans would wander so far that the zombies could never reach them.
I feel like I'm just a spectator rather than a player. The game is a bit too simplistic. Adding one or two more mechanics to make the player feel more involved would be nice.
Nice idea, but I can't get past the first stage. It seems that the zombies randomly decide that humans aren't their target, and walk in circles until they die. Gets very frustrating. Music is always a plus in my book. Art is nice, however animations would have been better.
I love games with indirect controls. Some different features like the ones pointed by @hunttis would be nice, but we know that time is really a expensive resource in compo =p
The first few waves were WAY tough, haha. I'd recommend giving people a few more zombies :) Other than that, it's a fun little game! Similar mechanically to Infectionator(?), but that isn't terrible. I'd suggest adding something to the mechanic to make it a bit more unique. Also pathfinding was a bit frustrating at times. Nice graphics though!
Nice twist on a decent mechanic. Zombies are certainly an unconventional weapon. I feel like I was playing the game in reverse, it was actually getting easier. Perhaps if it started with lots of people and counted down it would be more of a challenge. Nice work though!
I really enjoyed this. Played up to wave 73! around wave 10 on wards the game gets really fun but also really easy. The green barrels occasionally beat some of the levels for you. I think it could do with just a tad more difficulty added to the later stages.
Thanks for all of the feedback, everyone! I really appreciate it. It wasn't originally inspired by Infectonator, however I can definitely see the resemblance. I'll try to keep the lack of input/control in mind next time, whoops!
I wish there was less random movement (some auto-targeting on potential victims) or at least more zombies at your disposal as you progress through the game so you could use one in the beginning and another nearer to the end.
I think that having more zombies at your disposal could make the game more interesting (and at the same time, counteract the "human wandering around in a far corner" effect).

It´s interesting when you only with a click or two can change everything.
I like the concept: a butterfly effect.
