I liked the game mechanic; at first, it seemed like a simple game, but it rapidly turned towards a more complex strategy. The audio could have used some improvements imo! Overall, nice job :)

Nice RTS where you don't need to concentrate so much on building anything, good for me in that sense. Simple but enjoyable. I think the camera movement could be a bit better, sometimes ordering troops somewhere also moves the camera if you're not very precise.

I love RTS games and this was a good one. Very impressive mechanics in such a short time.

The firing rate and/or range of the humans is too high and makes it very hard to get any kind of momentum going with your zombies. There's a nice basis for a simple C&C game here tho. Cute zombies too

Haha cool. They can't do anything against you. Well done. Also graphics and sound

Very fun RTS - was able to flank the soldiers with the zombie hordes to pull off a win. RTS controls were pretty good - would be nice to have more of an indicator of what is selected, maybe panning the mouse on screen edge, rather than right click drag. But overall, great game - very fun. Nice work!

Fun little game, if abit unfair towards the zombies! I love the simplistic strategy mechanics! Overall its a pretty neat game, needs abit of tweaking to not allow the human to overpower the zombies so fast!

Cool game, a bit hard to control tho, the selecting and drag-scrolling clashes a bit. Fun simple mechanics though. :)

Really nice game and I mostly like the AI of the enemies and also of the zombies, I would thought they would be only standing on one place and waiting for enemies to come to them, but them chasing the nearby enemies and then coming back is really nice feature.

Thx guys! Some spoilers that might interest some of you:
1. If you kill all enemies from some spot (like base camp), and wait few seconds, the base is changing to red color, and all the graves that are near the base start to spawn zombies.
2. Snipers are attacking you main cemetery, and they are too many.. maybe we should find another spawn point that would let us collect big zombie horde..
3. Winning is possible, you have to take control over all the sniper bases.

Fun game. Camera move control could use some love. but overall nice entry.

felt a little basic, but there was nothing inherently wrong with it. The art and sound effects did their job, the controls were responsive, the goal was clear, and the dedicated button for snapping the camera back to your base was handy.
Ultimately, though, I really don't feel like there's much to this game. It doesn't feel all that thought intensive or satisfying to progress, and the gameplay doesn't really ramp up in any particularly meaningful way over time.

I think it's a pretty solid concept. I couldn't grasp exactly what was the intended strategy or the involved skill, so I'd be interested in a more advanced version of the game, I think you should keep on working on it

Not sure if you can qualify for "Audio" if you didn't make it...

Pretty good. Was hard to determine where shots came from, but otherwise nice.

Always nice with more RTS in Ludum Dare! Loved the idea, the gameplay and the music! Generally an awesome game!

Beat it on my third play. I was constantly clicking with the wrong mouse button, but that's pretty much my fault! Would have been nice if it was clearer when you had taken over a spawn point so it was making zombies instead of troops, but otherwise excellent.

I didn't notice the horde of soldiers until it was too late, pretty decent entry though.

Great game! though I wish the screen could be moved with arrow keys :) I included it in part 31 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/ZV7CU8j_StI
