Zombie Tycoon by David Hunter

[raw]
made by David Hunter for LD 41 (COMPO)

The Zombies are Coming!

The only solution is to ensure a steady supply of cocktails and banging tunes. If you can make a tidy profit on the side who can blame you.

Drag and drop buildings from the toolbar to keep the zombies entertained. Green health bars show how many drinks or tunes are left. If the Drinks or Tunes run out the zombies will become angry until you supply more. Drag and drop drinks on the bar to top them up! When the tunes run out the music will stop, but don't worry it will come back ... eventually.

I really wish there was more to this! I like the idea of like... mixing management simulation and idle game and zombie dance party etc., but in execution there just isn't enough to do.

That being said, it runs great and I'm going to have to look into Phaser.js now.

would like to see a how too and maybe some music while playing. the overall concept is pretty neat but it feels like something might be missing. Perhaps more content, still a very nice start.

Holy shit it's the david attenborough of zombies! I must admit that I laughed when I heard the narrator come on. I think that you need to earn money more quickly, it seemed really slow at first. I liken this to an incremental game but at the same time, it seems like once you place one or two things you have to wait wait wait and can't do anything. Overall great job!

You have a nice and clear voice! Some more sound would have been great. Overall good game. Thanks!

The voice acting is gorgeous! But the game, unfortunately, is not carried away. But I love zombies!

The voice is a nice surprise! But the graphics get a bit confusing.

I really like the atmosphere of this, and the delivery of the commentary lines. The gameplay itself wasn't very engaging though...

Narration is kind of the best part :-)

It was a good game the graphics were a bit too simple for a 3d game

Nice little game, I like the idea, I wish there was something more to it. Pretty fast there was not so much more to do, just put more drinks into the houses. so I guess I would have liked if there was something that increased the difficulty level. Overall I think you got something pretty addictive going on here. Good Job!
