Deliver From the Dead is a turn based, zombie survival package delivery game

  • X: Use / Drop Item
  • Space: Unit Menu
  • Enter: Accept / Skip Cutscene

The unexplained:

Use your team to pick up the cure and deliver it down the street! (literally go right until you're off screen) Weapons and ammo litter the street, and you're probably going to need them.

I recommend increasing the player turn limit since I didn't find time to balance the turns, playing with a team is very difficult with the default option.

The game is really fun! A bit brutal sometimes but still, I enjoyed my time and this is my favorite submission so far. Good job!

Great game, I noticed it was a bit difficult before I could enjoy it, but a great entry

What a great submission! The "deliver the cure" was a fun spin on the theme, and the art style was great! The environment has a great mood, and the music compliments it really well. I would have loved to see some more variations in the zombie sprites, just to give some visual differences, but it was great opposed to that! Great entry!

I enjoy the time spent, but I can't do anything without being brutally murdered. I will try this one again later because right now I have no clue about what I am supposed to do once I have grabbed the cure. Nice mood!

✔️ I really liked the graphics in this game. From the animated text, to the simple pixel art - it all added to the eerie/intense aesthetic

✔️ I liked how it showed which zombies were going to move: added a nice strategic component.

➖ The other people would always die before I reached them :(

⭐ Overall: Nice atmosphere!

Nice job on this one, im really impressed with the turn based stuff, it feels like a complete game. Like you said its pretty hard, needs a bit of balance. I also couldn't figure out the pistol...does it need ammo??

Nice work overall!

You're right it's definitely hard. I did enjoy replaying the game and trying to get further and further though. It really turns the zombie game genre on its head by not rushing you which is definitely unique. The art was great too nice work.
