I loved the idea of controlling an undead army on a rampage. I didn't like, however, that the only way to control them was to kill one. It was really annoying because the zombies kept bunching up and blocking them by killing one would just split the group.\r\rIt seems like everyone has a hard time dealing with stairs, since the monsters and people kept clipping through them. That was the only problem I ran into though.\r\rGood work!"},{"author_name":"MechanicMoon","author_uid":"40539","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 9:35pm","epoch":1440538200,"text":"Thanks for the advice cudabear.

The web player worked on Linux\/Firefox, although there was some sprite flickering and it seemed to run a little slow (audio was fine though). I really liked the Lemming-style mechanics, the fact that defeated enemies join you, the graphics, and the sound! Design-wise, my constructive criticism would be to integrate the tutorial with the gameplay more instead of frontloading all the text; it took me a while to remember that I could sacrifice a zombo to make a cross. Great job overall though, especially the animation!"},{"author_name":"MechanicMoon","author_uid":"40539","time":"Sep 14, 2015 @ 7:43pm","epoch":1442259480,"text":"Thanks for the feedback DrPrettyPatty!
