### Positive:
- It's fun and intuitive
- The controls are clear
- It looks alright
### Negative:
- The game kinda punish you for converting zombies, it's nice that if you convert zombies you need to eat more, but the proportions are a bit too harsh, to the point that is better not to convert anybody.
But great job guys!!!
In general, I'd speed the player up, so more things can be eaten and the game can last a bit longer.
But overall it's fun.
**What's good :**
- overall gameplay is smooth
- the eating / converting animation with according sounds were really fun
- the conversion mechanic that lets you take more hits the more people you have
**What's bad :**
- when you go under a certain number of brains, you have no chance to catch up to people to get a last chance refill to keep playing
Other than that, solid overall experience.
You get the George Romero award for Braiiiins ! :p
The 1 thing i don't like is the bullet. It's very hard to see for me. Other than that, if this game a bit faster and easier, i'd love to play this on my phone :D
However, making a horde seems to have only downside as when on created zombie dead you lose.
Please play, rate and comment our game aswell:

But this matches a lo-fi genre of early '00s web game that my middle school self really enjoyed. Props for the art and sound. :-)
The idea of using people both as more zombies **and** as the actuall power source is great!
I like the graphics, the sound effects and music were good too, and the idea is awesome! Well done!
Keep up the good work! :)
