Zomb'd - simple survival horror game.

[MrPlow]

Gonna give it a go now shortly!!
Wish me luck! HIGH SCORE TIME!

Zombies are too smart, they don't collide together and form piles of zombies like that other game. :-)
Also, the zombies when surrounding you left, up and right, still don't grab you if you take a step down so you get a slow walk down until the inevitable end of the screen.
I would love some keyboard controls, wrists try to stay away from mouse as much as possible. Also, to walk around you have to look at the player all the time. If you can walk with keyboard you can instead keep your attention on the zombies.
Any chance of a teleporter? :-)

Very nice game for such a short devtime!

uat!? stick to the classics...any chance of digging a hole they can´t pass by?
If I teleport into a spawning zombie I just as well jump of a bridge!

if you could change it to only uses left button. etc touch on a zombie to shoot (need to been in line of course) and one tile from you to move to that point, then the game would been quite touchscreen friendly.

A possible to set the player start of the game would been nice, and a zombie might should not spawn right on a feet, which can been unfair. alternative some zombies could been slow, other faster to move.

Teleporting allows the selection of the destination unlike hyperspace (ie. asteroids) to a random "safe" area. So perhaps the later would be more interesting and is a cool idea but the issue, based on entry but not restricted, is that is would add futuristic science fiction to the zombie theme.

Or just a "super bomb" weapon til kill all nearby where clicked as a new weapon to pick up.

[matchy]

I think Worms inventory has a nice collection of ideas. Can you do better than a sheep bomb? 

[Ian Price]

I love the Sheep bomb in Worms, however the zombies ate all the sheep (then the normal people)

As you say matchy, a teleporter just wouldn't fit in properly to this game.

136/95 but I dont like unfair games, I mean I accept when Im not good enough, to dumb, to slow or anything, but when I do everything right and suddenly a zombi spawns directly on my - thats simply not fair (since I cant do anything to avoid it) and it destroys the fun.

[Ian Price]

Yeah, there are issues. And the spawning on the player was something I tried to avoid (It does have a player position check in zombie spawning, but obviously something's amiss), but it does happen occasionally.

... thats simply not fair (since I cant do anything to avoid it)...

I tried to figure if there was a location they don´t tend to spawn to camp around (ye be surrounded by ammos).
But ultimately, keep you mind and spirit as one and they don´t spawn over you.

V addictive...my top score was 157 zombies (see screen below)



Some items... occasionally the zombie will generate right over your player (instant death) ... not good if you've got a high score going...

Hover over items to tell what they are..initially i though some were power ups and some items were ammo...

Still GREAT for 2hrs work (or even 2 days work!)

[Damn, Erico has the high score  ]

Forgot to mention, the music is really great and fits perfectly.
