Don't Touch The Zombies

Review

Imagine a gameshow where you have between four to five contestants in the arena; well, a maze really! Four of them would be formally known as Zombies, and one as a healthy human. The interesting point is that all zombies used to be human contestants before becoming undead. However, if they touch you they take your place and you become a zombie! So don’t touch the zombies!

Don’t Touch The Zombies is a casual action game where you swap between humans and zombies in several modes of play.

As you land on the menu page, you will have the option to play single player or multiplayer. By selecting the single player, you will have access to seven different modes of play. The adventure mode combines all modes in fourteen stages. The modes include Time Score, Time Killer, Score, Killer, Collector and Horde, across four maps: the warehouse, graveyard, rooftop and forest.

The gameplay is simple but fun. Depending on what mode you are playing, you will start playing either as a human or a zombie. Within the maze, several icons will pop up. Some will be in favour of the humans and others in favour of the zombies. Essentially, if you’re a human, you will be armed with a shotgun and a limited amount of ammunition. If you’re a Zombie, you’ll be able to fart or burp some sort of cloud which will slow down anybody who gets directly in its path. You’ll also be able to activate a speed-up boost which makes your zombie character run towards your opponent in a heartbeat every 10 seconds. Another interesting aspect is that you can play the game in the day or night. At this stage, it is very difficult to find a multiplayer game.

Graphically the game looks ok but I must admit that the audio is very funky especially at the end of a stage. In terms of controls, I strongly recommend playing with a gamepad instead of the mouse and keyboard. I think the game needs more content; not in terms of the modes, but I think in terms of maps - additional maps would make this game much better, in my opinion.
