Ghoul Rush by ChaosCult

[raw]
made by ChaosCult for LD31 (JAM)
Ghoul Rush is a game about small-scale apocalypse. You play as a necromancer hell-bent on converting entire villages into undead. Unfortunately, your brain-eating minions are really stupid (duh!) and you have to control them manually - all at the same time!

The game uses lots of paid and free graphics assets from Unity Asset Store. We've also used free sounds from freesound.org by DjCHAOS, Sonic, jorickhoofd, Under7dude, MrPokephile.

Music is "Fluffing a Duck" by Kevin McLeod, http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/

Awesome graphics and audio. I liked the further levels where you could get skeleton warriors.

Fun game, and it gets more and more challenging. I like it. But how does it fit the theme? :)

@janovbyrnisson Well, it's all on a single screen, isn't it?... Kind of a stretch, I know (-8

This is a really fun little game, love the humor and the concept! Really nice art/audio too.

Nice zombie game. Good graphic and super sound effects ;)

Unfortunately the pathfinding is sub-optimal. The persons tend to go straight to the edge and get stuck there. So it's too easy to catch them.

Overall it's a nice little game with a lot of potential.

I rated enough high for all except for the theme (although the screen is static there is more than one screen).

Very challenging (at level 4 or 5 with the skeletons and the guy shooting bullets).

Very well made :)

Fun game, nice idea! I have trouble connecting it to the theme though, as others said too...

Very neat game, but sometimes in the first level my zombies got stuck on the fence and couldn't move, made me lose.

Fun and clever, but seems to have ignored the theme.

Well polished! It's very satisfying to control a zombie army to destroy the gunman hahaha

It seems a little unrelated to the theme, but I do quite like the gameplay.

Really nice and well polished entry. Had a lot of fun playing this and I like how each of your zombies' movements are independent from each other (which makes for some pretty interesting brain eating strategies).

Super! Lot of fun. Gameplay about supremacy. Good graphics. Intuitive controls. Soft learning curve. No blah-blah text. Perfect combination. Only one bug - sometimes you can't see people and zombies behind nearest objects (walls).

Wow, really neat game. The controls are perfect — it's so fun to control a real crown of zombies with my only WASD.
I personally really like zombie theme)
