Pure flash brilliance
I should start off by saying, take this review with a pinch of salt, as i'm a massive fan of the zombie genre, a genre which you obviously have no trouble with.
The game looked stunnig, even on low quality- each gun looked suitably different, and there was a wide array of different looks for the zombies. The opening menu was brilliantly designed, and despite just being a menu, it really said a lot about the quality of the flash to come.
The style seemed fairly inconstant, ranging from a serious defense game, to a comedy action. However, this juxtaposition has always been present in the zombie genre, and I salute you for pulling it off just right.
The sound was perfect, guns sound convincing and clear, and the ambience really adds a lot to the atmosphere. Theres a bit of imbalance with the dynamics, but i'm nitpicking, here.
Violence is not essential, but when pulled off right can add a lot to the quality of things. Not too much, not too little, another aspect you have truly mastered.
Interactivity is where this game shines, taking the ever-growing defense game, throwing in zombies and adding a truly unique and balanced shooting system. The upgrades came at just the right times, and the pace overall was brilliantly executed.
While not focusing on humour, you've still pulled off some 'laugh out loud' moments- seeing a zombie collapse after being shot in the legs still makes me smile- and once you get the final sniper, it happens often enough to boost the humour up to a 10.
Overall, you have created what a flash game should be- a fun, memorable experience. It deserves all the attention it is receiving, and I have the feeling that this will always remain as part of Newgrounds' past.
Hats off to you, my good sir.
