Zombies get stuck on walls, thus removing most actual play value to the game, but the great art, fresh concept, and relative polish pull it through. The sounds can get rather annoying ...

Great artwork but unfinished. The gameplay and controls aren't too far off from my game (Fuc Man.)
Fantastic game marred by some quirky pathfinding of the zombies, they would get stuck on a rock chasing someone and you would have to push that someone around to get them unstuck. I was unable to pass level one because of this.
Amazing pixeling and great sound.
Nice graphics, but it's a zombie based game and not all that creative.
The real downside however is that it's no fun because of the controls -- this would have been way more fun if you could actually throw the brains from a distance.
I also think that loosing shouldn't happen as suddenly as it does here.
Cool sprite work, very nice. Interesting idea, too... I had a problem occasionally where zombies just stopped and stood still endlessly, though. >_< Still - sweet!
Some collision or pathfinding bugs that cause some zombies to stay trapped in some corner or other rendering the level unbeatable, but otherwise lovely. BRRAAIIINNNNSSSS must have BRRRAAAIIINNSS...
Cool... Brains.... :)
Cute graphics.
Nice graphics.
Quite a nice start for a game. I think it just needs more work to make it more interesting. The graphics are quite nice. Nice touch that the player changes to a zombi when touching one, being able to function as one for a while.
Very good! Needs real levels and moving sometimes gets zombies or the player stuck.
Fun game. The brain plopping sound effects were very thrilling.
Simple concept, but like in similar games, it gets way too hard once the infection has spread a bit, and it's annoying when zombies get stuck behind headstones. Nice mini game, though.
There always seem to be one zombie who doesn't do anything, and thereby I can't give it a brain.
The zombies sometimes stop chasing people and just sort of lounge around. It's a cute game, though,
Even if I was fast enough to prevent spreading, I found enemies kept getting "stuck" and nothing I could do would move (or "disinfect") them. I liked that being infected didn't mean you were dead, if there were still brains - a nice touch. Get the collision/AI thing worked out and it would be pretty fun
mmm... brains! :-) It's a little difficult (I haven't passed yet level 1...) but sometimes zombies get stuck between 2 or 3 graves and it's impossible to give them a brain, so I couldn't win
hahaha... cute. The brains are a pretty cool idea. Fun game until you get overwhelmed by the zombies. The sound effects become a bit too frequent after a while... Graphics are very curte.
Interesting idea, any chance of getting me a new brain ??
The "Yeah!" effects are great, it's nice that there are different pitches to spice it up a bit. "Num num" would be funny, except the sound effects are slowed down too much to be very intelligible. "Game Over" is very hard to understand as well. The graphics are pretty good, simple but not ugly, and they don't really need to be any more complex. The gameplay mechanic (zombies + brains = people) is simple but fun. Being able to leave a brain for yourself to recover from zombification is very cool. The zombies sometimes get stuck in "corners" and do not come free, because they are chasing someone on the other side of the blocks. Other than that, very good. One does wonder where I get all these extra brains from ;)
