The hand-painted backgrounds were incredible, the animation smooth, and the writing above par.

Unfortunately the gameplay fell short. The quests' objectives were muddled, and often had no effect on the character, or game. Further, it lacked any sense of adventure. As a sentient zombie I hoped, hunt, or run, or just do anything that made me feel like I crave the flesh of humans. Instead I wandered back and forth around an encampment looking for map pieces that had no baring on the character.
Speaking of character, this too was lacking. Not even the main character has a name, and throughout the twelve quests almost no information is divulged about any of the survivors or zomboy.
When the sequel come make sure to develop the character and make the quest lead into something more than just leaving the current area.

The game is kind of but it good

I'll give you props for the hand-painted scenes and the fact that you gave the zombieboy back some of his brains. I don't see too much of that. However, the game was a little confusing when it came to collecting the stuff needed. There was little to no hints on how to actually find the stuff and I was only able to finish by randomly clicking on everything. That being said, I can't wait to see if you come out with a decent sequel. We'll be watching.

Pretty good flash animation, but I had some serious problems with this game. First of all, I couldn't complete it as of the time this interview was written, since I had 6/7 map pieces and have explored everything that I think I can explore as thoroughly as possible. The locations of the map pieces are not very intuitive. You tried to create one of those time consuming, detailed point and clicks (Monkey Island, The Blackwell Legacy, Gemini Rue) but used the simple mechanics of a flash game and the laziness of your own personal game making. The map pieces aren't even real items.. you don't find them, they are almost like a reward for playing the game. This is silly, since the whole point of this game is to collect them and leave.

Secondly, this game is BORING. It's about zombies, but there's nothing creepy about it at all. Nobody cares that your character is a zombie, and for some reason while all other zombies are shambling undead murderers, the main character is lucid, mostly non-violent, and grossed out by his own being. There is actually no special reason for this character to be a zombie, because it only comes into play twice: when you wake up and forget how to read (wtf) and when you bite the drunkard. That's it. No one ever even MENTIONS the fact that you are a zombie. Not even the guy who shoots the drunk the instant he turns into the undead. You created a Mary Sue zombie character for absolutely no reason.

Thirdly, no one has a name? "Gardener", "Little Girl", "Shopkeep", "Drunk"? Really? You couldn't spend some time at least naming these characters? This is just one of the ways in which the creators of this game avoided having to do any work. No names means no characterization. No one even has a personality here, everyone is just a catalyst for the game to be over.

I've never played a game that just wanted to be over so badly. The whole time, every action is just screaming "Get through it so we can end this". I'm not even interested in where Zomboy is going, because neither is he! Nobody cares about anything, even though the world is ending around them and they're supposed to be a travelling convoy of survivors. It feels like everyone is on vacation.

Overall, I found this to be a fairly poor game, considering all the potential there was for it. Good flash animation, beautiful painted backgrounds, but otherwise unremarkable and not worth playing. One star for the art.

It had its fun, it indeed was short though. I did not exactly get how I won the game.
