IF expanded upon this could be really great. It took me a while to find a base and the fact that the Zombies didn't auto attack annoyed me. Having to move hoards of zombies 1 by 1 was also frustrating.
But once I got over that I actually found my self enjoying it and it was also really innovative. Good work!

Yeah, the controls take some getting used to. Once I got the zombies moving though, it was pretty cool. I love the film grain effect and the game concept. With better controls the game would be a lot better.
Btw, after a zombie is created, if u left/right click at the same time while holding control outside the base, the game crashes. Good work though :)

Controls are pretty fiddly but it's a neat idea and otherwise well implemented.

Not sure if something's wrong, but I can't seem to do anything. There's no audio and I can't make zombies appear.
It's alright but zombies should be able to be selected in groups, if this were a full game I would buy it.

Idea is very very good. The controls are complicated though and the game lacks a little "soul" :)
At first, didn't know the green things only were bases, didn't even know you could scroll.
I made 2 zombies, from different bases, attacked, lost one, and then as I think I was about to lose the other, but the game crashed.
Excellent currency choice.

After reading comments, I sort of understood what to do but even though the zombie creation gauge reached 100%, no zombie ever poped out of the base. Unplayable... Pitty, this look like fun.

I liked the idea, but controls are hard to deal with - a selection square would drastically change the way the game is played.

Could have been better if it was easier to control your hordes, but otherwise very well done.
Wish I could play, but alas, I cannot play windows games. Looks really fantastic though. Congrats on submitting!

I wanted to create a zombie, the progress went up to 100%, but then nothing happened. Then I just randomly clicked a few times, selecting different bases, etc. and then the game crashed.
Is it possible to get a Web/Mac build?
The idea is so cool, i was very lost at the beginning hehehe but great job! :D

The game is interesting, but there are some usability problems. The controls are hard to use and there is no visual feedback when you select a base or create a zombie. Some times I couldn't select a base once a zombie was out.

This is a very innovative idea and a great take on the theme. But the controls are very weird. It took me about 5 minutes to get how this works, even with your explanations (what's a base ? Why can't I see the zombies in the base ?...)
Fortunately, it still managed to be fun once undestood!
Maybe it would have been better with smaller maps, because a game could be pretty long this way!
Good job anyway!
