By Chris “Con” Condon, this game pits you, the player, as a survivor of the zombie apocalypse. The aim of the game is the survive as long as possible in order to be rescued, fighting off waves of zombies as you do so. You control your character using the WASD keys to move and the mouse to aim and shoot against the zombies. Between waves, you can allocate day hours into searching for other survivors, weapons or repairing the barricade.
The gameplay is actually pretty simple, all you do is move up and down and click in the general direction of zombies to shoot at them (of course, it varies a little bit, with some zombies moving faster, having more health, or occasionally only having certain areas of their body be vulnerable), but it’s pretty addictive to play. The gameplay is broken up nicely by the management aspect between waves, letting you make a few strategic choices about how best to survive.
The main reason this game shines, though, is the absurd amount of style and polish that can be seen in all parts of the game. The “menu” screens are presented as a clipboard or other real-world objects (including the back of a receipt) with all the text made to look like handwriting. Tips on how to play the game are plastered on the clipboard as post-it notes. This works really well with the atmosphere of a zombie apocalypse, showing how supplies are limited and the survivors have to use everything as their disposal to get by.
The graphics in the game itself are superb, with all survivors and zombies being animated well, with enough variation in the player graphics to avoid noticeable repetition. Even the menu screen is polished, with blood spatters that flash in and out, sometimes making discernable shapes.
The overall feel of the game is very cinematic and reminds me of 28 Days Later, putting it way above the calibre of most flash games, and that is why it works; good aesthetics and pleasing gameplay.
