When All You Have is a Racket by Anas Azmi
This game is a simple interpretation of "an unconventional weapon" as "something you don't normally use as a weapon," and from that, I chose badminton racket and shuttlecocks.
In this game, shuttlecocks, your ammo, are launched at you, and you must smash them with your racket towards the incoming zombies. Move the mouse to move the player, left-click to smash, and right-click to jump. If you jump-smash the shuttlecock, it will spread upon hitting the enemy.
Tools I used:
-GameMaker: Studio Professional - Engine & Programming
-Paint.NET: Art
-FamiTracker: Music
-sfxr: Sound Effects
UPDATE: I ported this game to Unity to allow the game to be released in multiple platforms. Notable changes compared to the original version:
-Score is reset when retrying
-Use of Unity physics
-Minor difficulty changes
As such, I put different links for the releases (I built the Unity port in PC/OS X/Linux and WebGL) and sources.

that was a lot of zombies and shuttlecocks jajajaja.
Thanks for sharing.
@jackyjjc I honestly thought the music was the worst part of the game, but I'm glad it fits. Thanks. I'm thinking of updating the link later to make it standalone, because I didn't know how to do so when I submitted this.
@Muffin thanks. I intended to show the spirit of playing badminton. I'm glad that went through.
@OccamRazor Thanks! I'm glad I made this game.
@orukinawa Thanks for pointing that out! If you notice, the Score doesn't restart at 0, and because the amount of shuttlecocks and zombies spawned is affected by the score, the result is that you basically continue the game, not retry. I will fix this for post-jam.
