I liked the idea of level + ability progression.
The lighting made it really difficult to see, to a point of breaking the immersion rather than adding to it. The summoning of zombies was difficult to trigger, it wouldn't always fire right away ( it may just be that the lack of visible / audio feedback reinforced the feeling of it not working). The zombies themselves were hard to tell apart from the humans. The lack of environment obstacles made all the levels ultimately the same. I played for a few levels and didn't get most of the skills shown in the screenshots, if they are there, perhaps they should be introduced sooner.
For such a short timeline, this was a good idea and fun!
