Developer Updates
Dev Update:
Regarding Zombie Movement: We chose a common gameplay mechanic of: Player moves 2 spaces with wall collision, enemies move 1 space without wall collision. This is to make the zombies more aggressive and the gameplay more engaging. We DID test a version where the zombies used pathfinding and it did not test well in our beta phase. Due to the mixed response of this mechanic, we will look into a different movement mechanic for the zombies all together in future sequels. Thank you for your great responses! Hope you enjoy the game!

I find it hard to rate this game. I give it a 5/5 for me personally but I cannot recommend it unreservedly to someone who has never before enjoyed a turn-based rpg (like Fallout 1 or Planescape Torment). With a bit of polish it will appeal to more people.
The controls work for me but there is room for improvement. Let us toggle off the tutorial bubbles. Dock the menu on the edge. Let us mouse click to move/interact. Some people just donโt like hotkeys.
Personally I like the way the zombies move; it adds strategy to the world map. It would be better if zombies always started at least as far from you in the battle map as they were when you engaged on the world map.
And if I were really going to dream I'd ask for a strong sense of irreverent humor and a dash of character development. A half-crazy monologue, some useless items and earning crazy titles might do it.

Very annoying that the tooltips stay up for so long... they really get in the way of ... you know trying to play the game.
