I could genuinely get addicted to this

Took me a couple of tries, genuinely a great concept that I would love to see fleshed out with some levels and even possibly special units on each side that could be implemented throughout a "campaign". Keep up the good work!

Simple but elegant and fun. Genuine strategy is needed. But the game limited for now. Because there is only one map / scenario once you beat it three times you know what to do. Adding a multiplayer mode (on just one computer) would be dirt simple to implement. Adding the ability to play as zombies would be great too. And everyone has said this, the AI is too slow. But yea, its very impressive how such a simple game has me mapping out moves ahead of time so strategically.

woah scientists

Genuinely some chess level strategy stuff here. Unfortunately, I suck at chess and thus suck at this game too, but it’s nothing short of brilliant regardless
