Ztoday by blundis

made by blundis for LD24 (COMPO)

So I made a game about zombies.. It's basically a DayZ fan-game with some extra evolution.

See how long you can survive in a world overrun by zombies!

It's admittedly a bit bugged. If you can't find any zombies, just walk for a while and try shooting, that attracts them. They seem to prefer the top left.

Zombies evolve from the classic: charge anything that moves until dead, to ones that flee when hurt, call in backup and even use items to bandage themselves if hurt.

Great game. I wasn't able to see the evolution of zombies, because I lived too short :).

Really funny, everyone is naked.
Very creative way to reuse sprites.

Pretty humorous and I could see the game being fun. Right now though it was too sparsely populated and I found it difficult to get away from zombies who managed to attack me. It would be interesting to see this game after you've managed to deepen it's gameplay.

Is the character a guy, naked, and erect? Killing zombies gets him so excited! haha. I like that there are other humans running around naked too. I like to run with them, then run away from them so the zombies chase him instead of me. A good survival tactic for when you run out of ammo.

I heard about the evolution of zombies when the popup text came, but I was too busy exploring the void. There was some of the darker green in a patch along the top of the level bounds and it let me escape the playing area and into the black of space. I let my character sit there and ponder whether it was worth the risk to go back. Then decided it was and was killed by a zombie as I fled ammoless into the void where it chased me xD

This game was hard. Ran out of ammo too fast and had nothing to defend myself with and I couldn't run fast enough to get away. Other than that it's cool. I also didn't see the evolution of the zombies, I was dying too quickly I guess. Cool sound effects.

Didn't see any zombies evolving, ran out of ammo and couldn't figure out how to get more, I saw some ammo box looking things but they just disappeared when I touched them and still couldn't shoot. This could have used much more polish.

The zombies have effectively disturbing sound effects.

Was I supposed to be able to escape from the top right of the level?
