Friendly Zombies by druckson

made by druckson for LD26 (COMPO)

This game involves hordes of zombies just looking for some human contact. Though they don't mean to harm you, their gestures of friendliness may prove harmful to your goal of finding the green square. You can become invisible to the zombies, but only for 10 seconds per round.

Controls: WASD + mouse, spacebar to temporarily turn invisible.
Goal: Find the green square

**Important Note**
I didn't add a respawn key, which is needed for this game. If you find the need to restart the level, just refresh your browser. You can play the levels in any order you like.

Requires WebGL capable browser.
Tested on Chrome and Firefox for Mac OS and Windows.

This is awesome, I was laughing the entire time at these super friendly zombies pushing me around XD it sounds strange, but one of my favourite things about this is the shape of the player's body; the way rotating yourself can sometimes give you that extra little decrease in size that lets you slip past the friendly zombies. The mood was awesome, and this is the only game so far I've given 5/5 stars for humor.

Not sure how it ties into the minimalism theme though? The graphics were sorta minimal I guess, but I'm not really sure what your thought processes were here :S

Either way, fun game man, good job :D

There were quite a few things I didn't get to, I'll probably work on it some more once the compo is over. I was going for minimalism in mechanics, as the game essentially just involves motion.

Cool game with friendly zombies :)
It is a very simple and good game idea with nice implementation of crowd behavior.

I like the idea, although the mouse rotation thing was a bit odd to me. Not exactly sure what you were going for there. But I love the concept, seeing this completed could be a hilarious puzzle game. Nice work!

Pretty entertaining. Friendly zombies are good and funny idea but I can't figure out if it fits the theme. Good work though.

I can see what you were trying to do, but it's not quite as fun as I thought it would be. It's a too basic but also the zombies are too smart and can see through your invisibility too fast.
