This is nice. The zombie makes the game very challenging. I like the idea of the zombie coming from behind. It will be cool if there were a button that you could click to gain acceleration, working like a gauge.

Thanks Dragoninstall. An idea that came to my head (read that happened only via a glitch) is that jumping on top of the heads of zombies could boost you forward. Although the way this glitch occurred was unstable and caused the zombies to entirely disappear all together in later builds of the game. So I scrapped it. Some sort of sprint/recovery system has been in demand from those who played. I've been thinking of adding leader-boards and sprinting isn't too difficult. So if I do update this, expect a menu system, leader-boards and some sort of sprint/recovery system.
Nice graphics! I included it in part 5 of my MiniLD 53 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out! :) http://youtu.be/oIRIfdXvn6M
Thanks, Sorry you couldn't figure out the game. I've added a reset button to the game now though. In case you have gone too slow and don't want to wait to die.
