This looks awesome. Really awesome. I don't know why people are so offended by "another zombie game," even when it's good.
The animations are fantastic, really enjoyable to watch and the gameplay seems fluent and fun. It would be really cool if you varied the enemies beyond zombies making a whole mess of monsters like werewolves, creations, demons, slimes, ect.
Please finish this,

Thanks guys!
As for enemy variety....there will eventually be zombie animals, hostile NPCs, zombies will various attacks (for example, some might puke and leave a deadly trail of vomit you'll want to avoid, etc). I don't think I'm going to go in the route of other monster types like werewolves and slimes, though, since the focus is still a zombie apocalypse.

This is brilliantly herpy-derpy. Maybe this will finally force me to install Unity  |

Like the rest of the guys, I really love the animations! You've managed to squeeze a lot of personality into those boxes!
Game overall also looks really sweet, keep it up mr man!

I don't think having zombies necessitates that the game is "bad" game in any way.  It's just a visual concept. An overused one, yes, but oh well. Just don't let the zombie theme inhibit you from making interesting AI. And by the way, this game has an excellent art direction. I think it works well--you do a good job of making the blocky characters an artistic decision rather than a compromise. |

Thanks guys! This is brilliantly herpy-derpy "Herpy-derpy" is the exact aesthetic I'm aiming for, so this is the best compliment I could get Just don't let the zombie theme inhibit you from making interesting AI.
The zombie AI is getting re-written this week as we speak. The new AI will be sense-based, with zombies reacting to sight and sound, rather than having an omniscient knowledge of the player's whereabouts...among other things |

I don't think having zombies necessitates that the game is "bad" game in any way. Exactly this. If you told me the name of the game, I'd think "Zombies and Voxels... meh." because both are being overused by every mediocre cash-grabbing game dev in the world right now. But saying that anything with zombies or voxels have to be bad is like saying that one bad red painting taints the color red. You may be facing an uphill battle with convincing cynical gamers to even look at your game though, sadly. |

@zombox That sounds awesome. So aside from music, is this all done by you? That's rather impressive if so. |

Yup! One man show, so far My first attempt at making a game as well. There was a steep learning curve, but overall it's been a lot of fun. |

Well, great job! Do you have any prior experience with digital art/programming/animation/design? It sure looks like it. |

Yea, I've been working as an animator for about 7 years...just hadn't dabbled in game design. Now I feel like I missed out on so much, since I didn't start earlier!

This explains why your animations are so professional looking.
They were done by a professional.
