Cool Game, liked the FTL style gameplay, also for later reference so other people can play the game package love.exe with the love game into a zip so people can play it.

Hey, congrats on finishing this! It works well so far, and it's actually quite difficult to keep track of everyone!

Couple of minor things:
- For a zombie setting, I would use a dark color scheme.
- I think it would be much better if the poeple said their things in speech-bubbles that appear next to them. This way it's hard to tell where stuff is happening
- It took me quite some time to figure out that the buttons on the lower right aren't actions, but "modes". I didn't get this at first.
- It's hard to tell who's selected, maybe add a small rectangle around the selected people or similar.

"Web" should play in the browser, not initiate a download.

Cool idea. I'd like to see more strategy games like this in LD. The main problems I had with it were that the pace was very slow, the pathing for the survivors seemed buggy or confusing, and the interface wasn't really intuitive. The buttons in the corner could have used some explanation, or at least a highlighted state if all selected units are in that state. Would have also been nice to have some sound and/or ambient music.

Good game. Would use sounds on finished actions though.

I guess love2d is the reason it has so little ratings.
For next LD please provide executables, which in love2d very fast and easy process: https://love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution
