Humans. They need to die. This isn't your typical horde game type. Overwhelm the human defenses with several different types of monsters, including Zombies, Mummies, Ghosts, Werewolves, and Vampires. Use a variety of special attacks to out-maneuver your enemies while leveling up, facing stickier and stickier situations all the while. After each win, the difficulty ramps up. How high can you go?!

Our Highest is level 20, Let us know how high you get!

Good luck.

This game was created from the ground up using javascript/HTML5 in 72 hours, with the exception of the sound library (Soundmanager2). All art, sounds, and music were created in this time period specifically for the game!

Love the victory sound!
+ Cool character picker.

The graphics were cute. It lacked challenge, I just had to keep my cursor over the target and I’d eventually.

A very direct interpretation of the theme :)

The audio is great. The variety of the character selection is a nice touch.

Really fun! And I like the different characters.

got to level 8, a bit repetitive but i like the idea, cool to gather your forces then swarm them!

This is pretty unique! It ran a bit choppy for me, but I liked the idea, unlike any others I have seen. Nice job!

You have one of the most pleasant music tracks around. Also the game works nicely. Definitely got a good score.

We laughed with sounds xD . Characters are so cute, nice job here! Maybe it's so easy to win?

Overall, well done!

I reached the 14th wave. I liked the idea of picking a player.
Nice entry =)

Very nice game. Loved the selection of monsters! Felt very nice.

Wow, that was savage. I only made it up to 12 and that was barely. I feel like I got the strategy, but then again I didn't. Haven't played anything like that before, and that made this great!

Nice monster selection at the start, wish the game was played with that kind of view rather than top-down. Had quite a few performance problems - game kept freezing and stuttering. Nice effort though, good to see you get multiple levels in there. Seemed a bit too easy though, I wished there was more of a challenge or strategy in getting to the human.
