[Human Apocalypse]

Yeah sure there are lots of zombie games, most of them where you play human. Not so many where you play zombie (but still a lot). So the concept maybe still has some novely value.. I dunno.
But even though you look green and the game says "you are the zombie", you are in fact playing the human once again. You shoot with a gun and the "humans" can only punch or slap you or whatever. It is not human behavior to gang around a single zombie! That is zombie behavior. Okay, maybe you did this to bring some humor in the game.. but it really doesn't do it for me. The game totally lost its believability.. As a zombie I want to bite humans, rip them apart or whatever, infect them so they become zombies too. And I expect humans to be smarter than go hug a zombie to death with all their friends..
Also, collisions are handled very poorly in my opinion.. but okay, you only had two days..

I can't think of ways to incorporate a zombie as the main character into game play without it being "stupid." Give it a gun and surround it with dumb villagers and there you go :]

[Revert to Growth]

Nice game..

Graphics: 9/10
I really like the graphics, they are great! :D

Sound: 8/10
Sounds are good.

Music: 7/10
The music is fitting, but it get's a bit repetitive after a while. Thankfully there's a mute button, but the mute button also mutes the sound..

Gameplay: 9/10
The gameplay is very smooth. However, I don't find this game addicting.. I also found out a minor bug: when you grow a plant in front of a stone block and then try to push the block, against the plant I just grew, with another plant. Then the stone block first is pushed into the plant and then jumps either up or down.. also when I drop a stone block on my robot, I hear a simple thud as if the block falls on the ground, but it actually looks incredibly stupid that it has no effect on my robot and the block just simply lies on top of my robot's head.

Story: 4/10
There's not much of a story, now is there? I get that I have to fix that ship, but there really is no background info about who I am, where I came from, why I crashed on a planet? Well, I guess it doesn't really need a story to be played, but with a good story I'm more willing to get to the end of the game.

Overal: 7/10
I enjoyed playing it and it's always nice to have a level editor so I can create my own stuff. :)

Thanks for the reveiw!

Not many puzzle games I know have a story, but I think I'll give you more info on the robot should I make a sequel.
