I played through the game, took me 30 minutes to get to the end. Overall, I quite enjoyed it. Simple, zombilicious fun. The 2D graphics do the job and it's so awesome to catch a group of people in a corner and witness the chain-splatter as they all turn into your minions.



Jus some guy
Its a pretty nice game. Although I think the human and zombie sprites should be more than just circles. Also, whenever I walk into the wall I get stuck.

I could make you graphics for the game. Im pretty skilled gfx artist. I can put some of my textures and images here to show you.
I can do them free since i have nothing better to do^^

Just give me a list what to make and what size.

Nice game, the idea is just great. I planned to do that kind of game once, but since i started a big project, so i decided to quit on the idea.

These are from my current project...

metal floor texture with warning stripes


the main character without a gun


some other:

Hey yeah that would be cool smile.gif As you can tell, I'm not good with graphics. I'll PM you the list.

@Jus some guy - You don't get stuck... you stop. But I'll fix the collision.

@Kubanen - Hey it's a WIP I was gonna fix that smile.gif

@commander of games - Hmm.. Idk what to say. It seemed to work for everyone else. Maybe try downloading it again?
walkingbush
Well, ok game, but its not really interesting, you know? Like, i didnt feel like i was a zombie. It didnt feel like i was attacking a cisle. Thats just you saying that. You need to immerse your players into your world. It might jst be the graphics...

Other than that, it was good.

Graphics are being redone. The zombie campaign isn't finished, the games still a WIP. Did you like the human campaign?

UPDATE: collision and save game is fixed. Now once you enter a room is saves the game.
walkingbush
Uh oh... Was I supposed to play the human campaign? Actually, I did play as a human first, but i killed all the zombies and nothing happened... That might be a problem, but then again, there isnt a horde of green circles to help me find the survivors tongue.gif

Ohh.. lisen to the radio transmisions they will tell you which way to go, the first level as a human you go north so you just keep goin up after you kill the zombie at the bottom left =P follow the objectives.
walkingbush
No, i did. It said there was a riot (and you actually read them XD ) up north after you kill thw woman to go check it out. I did, kicked some zombie A$$ inside the police department, then wandered the streets, got bored, restarted the game, and kicked but as a zombie. I actually enjoyed killing the army biggrin.gif Good job!

It was pretty good. Obviously the game needs sprites other than circles. When the game told me to look for the women, I didn't actually know what they looked like simply because of lack of graphics. Same for zombies too. It was only until they started attacking me that I thought shooting would be a good idea.

The graphics are being completely re-done. I'm just waiting on the spriter. It should be ready today or tomorrow...

I loved the zombie mode, it was tonnes of fun! Definitely take up that guy on his spriting offers though, it'll really make the game a whole lot more enjoyable. My suggestions would be to reduce the amount healed by killing a human to a quarter of your hp as zombie, and you make barricades last a bit longer. Great game! I didn't really think human mode was all that special, but zombie mode shines! Keep up the good work, and feel free to PM me when the version with new sprites comes out!
Alpha Man
Hi.

I tried the Human mode or whatever, wandered around for a few minutes, got frustrated trying to find where to go, and exited.

Tried the Zombie Mode and that was much more interesting. Although, the other poster was right when he said you can walk into some walls and get stuck. I did and had to wait for my Zombie buddies to finish the level off, which was terribly boring (as I type this I'm still waiting, by the way... third level, although it seems to be possible anywhere. I don't hear anything so I assume my zombie friends all died or something...).

If you could change the sprites that'd help... Something to look at other than circles, at least if they have little limbs or something so I know which direction stuff is facing.
FurinKazanNZ
Alright, after playing through human mode, I have some more suggestions. First off: Have a minimap somewhere which shows most of the map, it's so hard to find all the zombies sometimes! Especially when they get stuck in random spots. And make it so that a pop-up comes once you have defeated all the zombies, it doesn't always, so you don't know what to do. At the end of human mode, the quit button doesn't seem to work, also, make the quit button and the escape button bring up an option to return to the menu, instead of just quitting the game. In zombie mode, you may as well just change the movement to WASD like with human, because that would eliminate the getting stuck problem. I'm assuming you already use masks, but if you don't give that a try on zombies before changing controls.

Keep up the good work! I can't wait for new sprites!

~FurinKazanNZ

Okay I'll change the zombies movements. I am still waiting for the spriter to finish. And the whole game will also be completely re-done.

Hey

It was a pretty good game, I suppose, but could have been better.

-Obviously, graphics need improving but your already doing that. It didn't feel like a city, yeah.
-And also, it didn't feel like zombies attacking either? Maybe make it night time, with some street lights on, others flickering. Otherwise, you can vaguely see.
-And a group of cops following you around perhaps, when your a cop?
-Different weapons for the cops would be good too, like shotguns, rifles, SMGs, machine guns, hand guns, assault rifles. It'd be more fun, with more variety.
-The zombies should be faster, but weaker. And when your zombie, how about having a group of zombies following you as well? And make the movement same as the police, and have click "lunge" at people, instantly infecting. So you sprint up, infect, and bolt? Make the zombies faster, too.
-The barriers were weak and kinda pointless. It should take a second or so to break through.
-The "army" should coordinate better, stick in groups. And the "police" should wander in pairs, too.
-When your a cop, do zombies infect people? They should...
-Campaign gets a bit boring. Your character should have a persona - Seargent Max Cooper, or something.
-Health regeneration is also common in a lot of games. After a couple of seconds it comes back. And have the screen slowly go red as you lose health (like Gears Of War).
-More scenery - sign posts, cars, buses, other vehicles, different buildings, bus shelters - even if not being driven, it's just to make the place look cooler.

That's quite a list of ideas - hope it helps!

Thanks for the reply. I will add cars parked on the sides of the roads and other stuff to actually feel like a city. I'm also thinking of just completely removing the human campaign.

Have you not played it? lol
FurinKazanNZ
The human campaign was actually allright, it just needs a bit of work. Like was suggested, have some buddies that follow you around, and specify what you need to do a bit more clearly. I only completed the last level on the human campaign because I had already done zombie so knew to look for producers, so it was a lucky guess really. But I can't wait for the next release of this!

Lol.... Well i love this game : )))

It's Monday (well it is here anyways)! I'm so excited! laugh.gif Could someone PM me when you release the new version, provided I haven't already posted saying I've played it wink1.gif
turbosexophonic
I played the human campaign first, and I won't lie. It was pretty mediocre. But the zombie campaign was a whole different story! I loved watching the civilians run into corners and get surrounded by zombies... I'm not sadistic in at all BTW tongue.gif Can't wait for the update!

P.S. 2 hours and it will be Monday here in Western Canada! Woo!
Simple-games
Alright guys it's being released today! 1 more hour for me until it's monday =D

Here is a sneak peek of the game:

Screen 2




(sorry these screen shots aren't the greatest but I was in a hurry)

I still promise, this game will be released today smile.gif


EDIT: Zombie City is released!

It's very nice game! It's hard getting to mayor , but until the end i got that old man smile.gif

Hey the graphics got better, but I have some more suggestions for the gameplay. What you have here is kind of free mode, because you pretty much kill this entire city. You should:
a) Give the citizens the ability to pick up weapons
b)make the army dudes drop weapons when they die
c)Have vehicles for them
d)Have different kinds of zombies that you can spawn (fast, strong, stealthy)
e)Have an actual campaign with levels
f)Just an overall better defense for the humans. If barriers broke, we wouldnt all run into the walls. Some would pick up weapons and fight. Others would get on the ground and pray. Still others would throw themselves at the zombies.
g)Some may not agree with me, but I actually liked the two campaigns together. It opened up a whole mess of things you could do with this game.

He's offline right now i'm his spriter... i just made 10 different zombies,cops and militarys.
I bet he will add that.

I can actualy play now...

Wow! That was fun! I never completed the campaign but I had fun playing it! It was fun when hord of civilians got stuck in a corner and all I had to do was touch one and then they were all zombies. tongue.gif I think I infected Spider-Man a coupletimes to...

btw, I noticed a bug. When all the humans in one area were dead the zombies just stopped moving and did nothing.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Well some civilians actually do have guns, specially when you go to the ghetto (which is located at the bottom right of the city). And the roads aren't big enough, plus how would zombies infect them when humans are in vehicles? lol . Also, I'm actually working making more types of zombies you can spawn. And sorry for taking out the human campaign, I might make a whole seperate game on that.

LMAO yeah spiderman! =D

That's not a bug. I tried to make the zombies walk randomly when all humans are dead but there's simply too many of them so they got stuck together in huge hordes it was just a big mess lol.

Its a nice game except there isnt anything to do,

In the beginning you start infecting people but after that there isnt anyhting to do anymore, its easy to infect military and after I think all the humans were gone the zombies stood still facing to the right.

Well you have to kill the mayor. But I'll add some more levels and make him more heavily guarded.

Maybe you could add cars, and to infect people in cars, you could have a special attack where you call your zombie buddies to jump on the car and start smashing out the windows, then you pull the person out and infect him. smile.gif

Hmm that's a good idea but the road ways are kinda small so idk.

EDIT: and I'm not quite sure how to make a car move around the room on it's own and turn perfectly at every corner. If anyone has a tutorial I'd be more than happy to do it smile.gif
