"All said while the number of levels is a bit on the short side I, Zombie has quite a lot to like about it, especially at it’s very budget-friendly price. The mix of action, puzzle, and strategy elements is novel and can be challenging in places. While I wish there were more of the levels where you remotely control your zombies to bring your army towards you I found their inclusion to be a particular stroke of genius and am hoping people are inspired to make more of them. Assuming the community at least modestly supports the game with new levels I think it is a great value and well worth giving a look."

About

Insectonator: Zombie Mode flips the script on its bug-slinging roots by shrinking the threats to zombie-sized insects. You guard a gem against waves of tiny undead attackers using an array of oddball weapons including swords, basketballs, and returning favorites from past games. The core loop revolves around the "Don't Touch My Gem" mode where you block the gem for set intervals while managing ammo and timing hits between bursts of zombified critters. The game thrives on its goofy weapon choices and frantic pacing. Mixing practical tools with absurd items creates moments where you'll duck behind a shield one second and slam a zombie with a hoop the next. Though simple, the defensive mechanic keeps things tense as the difficulty ramps up quickly. Released over a decade ago, it still holds up as a quick pick-up-and-play experience for those wanting to mash zombies without deep strategy.
