Why not put it on a webpage so it just runs? But I did download it and played it and the game has tremendous humor and a lot of promise. It's hard to actually eat people though--I was never sure where I was supposed to be standing. Then I ate up all the people and there was no-one left, so I just kept dying.

Hard to tell which zombie you are, though, and really hard to catch up to a person long enough to attack them.

Cool idea, herding the humans was good fun.  I would suggest some kind of visual\/audio cue to indicate that you are successfully hitting a human, since I never was sure I was doing it right until they either turned into a zombie or just walked away. :P"},{"author_name":"Brassawiking","author_uid":"13137","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 6:40am","epoch":1377498900,"text":"I struggled to manage to get a hit on anyone. Also pure luck that I discovered you could smash the doors. Other than that it is quite well rounded, I can see this becoming a nice little arcade game."},{"author_name":"josefnpat","author_uid":"11249","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 11:38am","epoch":1377516780,"text":"I wish I had more IQ... nice job!"},{"author_name":"Ramon Imbao","author_uid":"25180","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 12:57pm","epoch":1377521520,"text":"Fixed my game a bit by hosting it on a page instead of having you guys download the SWF!

However I feel like it got frustrating trying to chase people down and dying over and over haha. I really liked that there were so many zombies on screen at once but at the same time it got semi confusing which one I was.

They're so stupid, they don't even know how to eat. They probably have 0 IQ.\r\n\r\nWhat's that? Some zombies managed to develop an IQ of 10? I wouldn't worry, due to the increased brain activity, their bodies decay faster. They probably have around 10 seconds before they die permanently. Unless they eat of course.\r\n\r\n-- About --\r\nPlay as a zombie with an IQ of 10! Watch out though, you only have 10 seconds to eat someone before you rot permanently! So keep eating! Eat to live!\r\n\r\n-- Controls --\r\nWASD \/ Arrow Keys - Movement\r\nSPACE \/ Z - Attack\r\nNote: Due to you still having an IQ of 10, you can't actually attack while moving!\r\n(That's not a bug, that's a feature!)\r\n\r\n-- Notes About the Source --\r\nAlthough I'm using Haxe and OpenFL, I can't seem to compile for native. I've encountered this before and it seems to be an issue with putting functions in create() and new(), but since my target is really Flash, I have no intention of fixing it at the moment. That's also why I did NOT include the .wav's for the sound files I used. Anyway, it shouldn't be difficult to convert the .wav's to MP3s for native platforms.\r\n\r\nEDIT: Derp. I've only been playing this thing on my desktop, and have always been using the standalone Flash Projector. I played it on a PC without one, and the background is displayed wrongly since this is supposed to be played on a 1280x480 screen. I might just go host the game somewhere.\r\n\r\nEDIT2: I've hosted the game on my dropbox!","title":"Eat to Live"}
