    I think the game was bit too unforgiving ^^" Here is gameplay video: https://youtu.be/fD5nZ1gACGY?t=7321

    I would have wanted some way to affect my odds, and not just randomly win/tie/lose. Maybe how many zombies are nearby or something (and meter showing your survival rate :P )

    I like the two factions you put in and the animations are great, but as others mentioned the insta death that was essentially random became a bit too punishing too quickly

    Really cool idea, but as others already said insta death is a bit too punishing.
    But overall a cool little game :D

    Unfortunately the r/p/s mechanic feels very out of control and not a fun means of combat. Especially with the sheer number of enemies. Played as zombies for a bit, then played as humans. Couldn't find a key as humans, got 24 zombie monches.

    This is a really clever use of the theme. I also liked the art in the game. I thought the hide mechanic could have been done a little better if the zombies had wandered around after you hid, instead of just staying around the trash can/maid cart.

      Not a bad idea. The zombies did have a wonder around script if you're in the trashcan. However, I think you're right, we could have made them wonder a bit further, and made them walk away from the trashcan. This would give the player a better chance to escape. Especially since we had the insta death if you failed rock, paper, scissors. Thanks for the insight, and feedback. Also thanks so much for playing! ^_^

    The concept is interesting. I would have liked it if the world were the same, but just your objectives changed depending on whether you were a human or zombie. Having different mobs wandering around made it feel kinda disconnected.

      Interesting insight. We'll keep that in mind for the next game. Thanks so much for the feedback, and thanks for playing! :)

    I enjoyed the human campaign more than the zombie campaign since there was a win scenario. My strategy was SCISSORS EVERY TIME BRO! but that only worked 1/3 of the time so idk, maybe I should have diversified. I thought the game mechanic was funny

    RPS as a combat mechanic is interesting, but I agree with Tydecon that instadeath is way too punishing. 1/3 chance of having to start over from the beginning every time you touch a zombie is so annoying, especially in the left corridor where the key is when playing as a human, since it's not easy to get in and out without touching any zombies.

      I completely agree. The instant death was a bit too harsh on the player. Thanks so much for the feed back, and thanks for playing!

    I like the idea here of a combat system being based around rock, paper scissors - though I do think some kind of lives system would have been better as the insta-kill for one wrong choice is harsh - though that does give you more insentive to not get attacked. Nice idea though :)

      Great idea. A best 2 out of 3, or a hp system probably would've made it a little less unforgiving. Thanks so much for the feedback, and thanks for playing ^_^
