Looks like a fun game. Audio?

@Primoz, awesome! Let me know what your classmates think!

@Wikilix, perfect timing with the question. I just added sounds today! (see video below)

Update: in my 45th hour already.. time flies by! Did a ton of work today and added lots of stuff to the game including: partially working title screen, an awesome logo (imho), partial game center leaderboard support, a spawning man who can be bitten and turned into a zombie (giving an additional life), life and distance tracking, sound effects and a cool soundtrack! Whew!

Also.. I'm thinking of putting 2 modes in the game now. One is where you are the zombies and try and get as far as you can, swiping obstacles out of the way; and the other is where you are the humans and try and get away from the zombies using obstacles to kill the zombies.

52nd hour update. Added an item in the game: a brain (*shocker*). They'll spawn on the ground same as with obstacles. When you get 3 brains, your zombies will become temporarily bigger and insanely stronger; they'll destroy all obstacles they touch. Tweaked the weights to allow the obstacles to be easily swiped off the screen.

Since the game is almost complete and I'm about to run out of time, I'm going to post Zmbi in the upcoming games section soon!

62nd hour update. The game is almost complete! Did a lot of tweaks, added backgrounds, better animations, etc. I also had some people play test the game, then adjusted stuff a bit more to make it more enjoyable. So far I'm getting good feedback from those who played it, some were shouting when they accidentally swiped away a brain instead of having the zombies eat them.. I guess that's a good sign for the game. I have a lot more stuff to finish such as the pause screen, gameover screen, and some kind of levelling system though. But I'm sure I'll make it!

I've started a thread in the upcoming forum since I'm only a handful of hours away from finishing the challenge: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=161449

Check out the new images in that new thread as well as an up-to-date gameplay.
