Nice little game. I like the style of it :)

The visuals are very good :) The game is difficult, there not much you can do as a slow zombie, but my highest score was 19.

Great entry! Visuals were awesome, gameplay was simple and easy to understand and get into. Wish there were more like powerups for doing more damage or starving less fast. Great work! Screen Shot 2023-01-09 at 9.56.19 AM.png

Good game, the Humans were fairly aggressive for a cold evening during a zombie apocalypse.

Really good game. I like how the theme was interpreted and the balancing is motivating.

Fun take on the concept and the theme!

The graphics are cool. The animations are smooth as well. It was fun to play!

Wow ! really good graphics and gameplay i'm loved play it ! I was able to reach 37 😁

Fun game :D

Thanks for the feedback so far :-)

@adam-konig Yes powerup also came through my mind. I actually wanted to use them to also make the player trying to explore the town. But (due to the nature of jams) I run out time and decided to not implement them.

@nougato Cool :-). I'm not sure anymore whats my best (specially considering the latest changes were I added new humans. That made the game harder). But I think atm I would be below 37. But with that a new idea came through my mind. In future I should add a "you beat the message" in case if one was better than me. Because I guess you would have seen it ^^.

@tomato-salad Yes that's a good idea! I think a bulletin board can be an good asset πŸ™‚

Great game!

Nice Game. Plays very smooth. I like the Mechanic how you lose health with getting hits or not eating.

pulni 2023-01-10 23:25

Plays so smoothly!! The general mood is quite nice, and exchanging slaps with humans as a zombie is just so satisfying! :smile:

One thing I did not quite like is how starvation works and how useless it feels to reset it when eating a human. Not much to play with, and not very satisfying. Perhaps if it also increased the time it takes for the bar to deplete, it would've been better! (And that should also be visible to the player, because now that I think of it, it might work like that right now and I wouldn't notice it.)

In any case, good job! :slight_smile:

P.S. Here's my best score deadlicious.jpg

tomate-salat 2023-01-12 10:22

@pulni Thanks for the feedback and well done. I think I never reached 40 or higher - so you also beat my best ^^. In case of the starvation I totally agree with you. Actually I wanted to that but somehow completly forgot it in the end. The game should communicate the state of the starvation clearly and now it only shows how its going down. But the exact rate would be interesting because that one is increasing as penalty if the player doesn't eat. I should have given that priority instead of alway pushing it back for "later"

That was fun! The peaceful little ditty that plays at the end was a real treat, and I enjoyed the character models for the humans. I think I would've liked for the sprint function to give me a little more flat-out speed, so I can really get that surging hungry zombie feel. Incidentally, Deadlicious is a great rapper name.

mightybanana 2023-01-13 22:46

Nice game! It would be fun if "harvested" people would turn into zombies to help you in fight - would really help to sell the "zombie" thing. Also, in the end people swarmed me as if it is they were zombies, not me)) Great entry, anyways)

got a final score of 31 :) The graphics, the music and the gameplay go well together. You have to think about your positioning and when it makes sense to run. Maybe the attacking could be a bit less sluggish, but all in all it is well done.

dry-squid 2023-01-16 01:42

The art and music were great selections. Props to the asset pack makers. It’s pretty cool that you were able to put together such a cool game in so little time. Great work! I love me sum flesh!

samuli 2023-01-17 17:50

Got to 26! The game would have benefited from some guidance where the next humans are as the field of view was quite limited.

ido 2023-01-17 18:01

Cute game for such short time. It's nice to play a story from the opposite side :)

weefairyfabi 2023-01-19 15:13

This is a really cute game! I am definitely a zombie sympathiser now haha. I had a lot of fun running around harvesting humans, especially the Hazmat people... I have a personal vendetta against them now. Well done on making such a fun game :)

betovf 2023-01-23 15:51

I love the graphics and the humor :laughing: Good job!
