Its a very cool concept, but I can't get past the guards. I really wish I could see more of this resurect control mechanic. It's like an rts where you're there with your trools.

Interesting but pretty buggy. Player would move around when dead and was really confused. Ended up falling through water to oblivion. Not really sure what i was supposed to be doing.

You really managed to nail the theme in this one. I loved how you could see your little zombie-horde grow when you conquered the towns. I think the balancing needs a bit of work, after taking over all the inhabitants I could still not kill the king. The humor in the intro is nice and works awesomely as a tutorial. It is a bit buggy but that is to be expected for a gamejam, like the concept and had fun playing it.

I want to pass through the guards!! But my army dies and i can't resurrect them anymore.. I would love to understand more and actually complete it :(

It is cool! the point of using an undead army is great.

I think the biggest improvement would have been better pathfinding or whatever you need to keep the zombies together better, i lost more of them to their own ai than to soldiers.

otherwise fun time

Beware the horde of FLYING ZOMBIES ! Got a bug that throw zombies away from the pack. I think the map is too big for the game. You understand how it worked in a few minutes and find a few paterns of villages quickly, so why this big ? It sometimes feel empty... Btw I won in 13 minutes. Good work !

Really cool concept in this! It was awesome carefully building up my army and trying to keep my casualties to a minimum. Best part was trying to defeat the knights, knowing they would be joining my ranks immediately after!
The only major two bugs I found were my minions kept bouncing off each other and flying through the air and sometimes they would just get stuck in the ground which meant my army size was reduced after all the hard work building it up!
I felt maybe the game could have had a faster pace maybe? Felt a tiny bit tedious losing and then having to move slowly through the whole game again.
But really great job! Highly rated :)

i thought the art and modeling was cute and cool.the mechanic was interesting but i feel like you couldve explored it more.could of done with abit of finishing, mabey just some playtesting wouldve done you good.i also think that the difficulty curve could have been smoother as it was easy to loose all your troops and then you were done
