So cool.

I only wish it had better handling of the cars :)

matrin

Loked like fun, but didn't work so well on my computer.Guess i really need to power up.

I cant really get the hang of driving on the roads, but it becomes really awsome once there is an open area and a crowd of zombies to plow through.

also the speech bubbles were a nice touch :)

erik

Loved the concept, the splatters and the speech bubbles.

Didn't like the controls, the narrow hard to navigate roads and getting stuck on the buildings.

Cool game, I love running over the zombies and watching their guts spill out. The controls leave something to be desired, though... it can be really hard to navigate.

"The theme was "Roads". It was the worst theme ever." I agree. I have no idea who voted for this, nor why it won by such a margin. Was there some kid in his computer lab?

There's so much I loved about this. Which is probably why the car physics, and even more crucially the collision reaction got on my nerves so much.

Even so, the exploding zombies, fantastic theme, and awesome little touches like the occasional speech bubbles, meant I came away from it happy.

i just couldn't get beyond the controls. it was like driving through pudding. zombie effects and music was good though.

This is one of those love and hate games. Its madding to keep getting stuck on buildings when the car drives like a brick. I also hated the fact that driving over a zombie backwards didn't hurt them! Kudos on the music and sounds. Great job, just don't make me hate it so much!

dertom

Yeah...driving! Although you steer the car like a ship it is a cool game! I made a real massacre (nice animation) :D

It ran at less than one frame per second on my laptop, so it was unplayable unfortunately. I'll try to play it on a faster machine some time.

The zombie crushing effect was so cool... alot better than mine :-) Nice audio too. It was fun until I would run into a building and then take so long to backup that a zombie would kill me. With some upgrades to the controls this would be a great game.

I think Erik completely stole my comments in every way. All the same good things, all the same bad. The splatters are perfect. Wish the car could move!

Extra Towlr point for the missing steering fluid in the car.

HybridMind

fix the controls and handling and I would love this. everything else is so great. the art style, sounds, the creepy ambient music, the blood and tire streaks... so awesome. too bad it is so painful to play as someone else put it 'steering through pudding' or something like that.. :)

Morre

Very cool music and graphics. I really like the effect when zombies are run over. Sadly, the car handling and the small roads take away much of the fun. Great start, could be a really cool game with some additional work :)

As others have pointed out, the speech bubbles were really cute. Also, not being able to kill zombies while going backwards is frustrating.

negativegeforce

A well polished entry. The blood, particles and explosions are very nice. The only thing that bothered me was the vehical accelerated too slowly and made turns much too slowly. That makes the pace of the game a bit too slow. I also got stuck in the building tiles a few times. Great gta like game otherwise!

increpare

Moderately amusing. I like the concept: it's quite effectively zombie-themed. However, yeah, the handling and collision could do with some sexing up.

crc

I liked: atmosphere, presentation, completeness

Could be improved: controls, collision handling (car/houses), sprite size (everything could be larger)

It makes obvious what you would achieve on a bigger budget.

If the car handling wasn't so frustrating, this might be a very enjoyable game.

ondrew

I played the updated version and it's still quite slow on my computer, couldn't really control the car.

The game looks like fun, the splatter effects and blood tracks are amazing.

jlnr

Looks pretty cool but ran VERY slow on my Mac :( It was a bit hard to steer and I got stuck in a wall while trying to escape by driving backwards.

dstrysnd

Despite the things that other people have mentioned that kept it from being truly awesome, this game was very fun (not to mention funny)

Gilvado

Turned way too slowly. Difficult to control. Hilarious concept.

caturday

Very well done! Car control was tricky. Great concept. Points for blood splatter!
