Like the others have said, I like being in control of a mass of zombies. It also had a hint of tactics with the police. I would say that the click radius could have been increased, as sometimes when I was pulling zombies around the area, I'd get stragglers that would just leave the group. Perhaps some little animations as well to make the objects look more alive. :) Good job!"},{"author_name":"Contraspect","author_uid":"18984","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 7:54pm","epoch":1355860140,"text":"The green things were kind of annoying, but it's a lot of fun to lead those zombies!"},{"author_name":"CireNeikual","author_uid":"7769","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 9:39pm","epoch":1355866440,"text":"Fun game, I like how it kind of forms chain reactions.

There's something really fun about controlling hordes of zombies and watching as they slowly take over.

The only real issue I have is that once one zombie reaches a noise, the noise goes away and the rest of the zombies stop. That made it difficult to group up zombies to make an attach. Perhaps instead of immediately removing it, have it persist until it's normal end-of-life, or increase the countdown, but at least give other zombies a chance to move closer before stopping. That said, I enjoyed playing through the levels and maybe with a couple other events in the world (traps, other creatures to turn) you could build a variety of puzzlish problems to solve."},{"author_name":"lotusgame","author_uid":"19058","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 2:24pm","epoch":1356185940,"text":"The control of zombies is difficult and boring when you want to make a crowd.
