I'm not sure anymore whats my best (specially considering the latest changes were I added new humans. That made the game harder). But I think atm I would be below 37.

The general mood is quite nice, and exchanging slaps with humans as a zombie is just so satisfying! :smile: \n\nOne thing I did not quite like is how starvation works and how useless it feels to reset it when eating a human. Not much to play with, and not very satisfying. Perhaps if it also increased the time it takes for the bar to deplete, it would've been better! (And that should also be visible to the player, because now that I think of it, it might work like that right now and I wouldn't notice it.)\n\nIn any case, good job! :slight_smile: \n\nP.S.

I think I never reached 40 or higher - so you also beat my best ^^. In case of the starvation I totally agree with you. Actually I wanted to that but somehow completly forgot it in the end. The game should communicate the state of the starvation clearly and now it only shows how its going down. But the exact rate would be interesting because that one is increasing as penalty if the player doesn't eat.
