Very fun. That last second speed burst from the zombies really caught me off guard.

Hilarious. The combat was actually fun and challenging trying to time your swings correctly.

Cool man! That's sick, crushing zombies by dropping trees haha. Well executed, well made! Would be nice if those trees needed a few hits extra before using them, would add to the gameplay. Nice entry

Made me laugh, great job! It always amazes me what people can accomplish in 47 - 72 hours. However, I did notice that visually the zombies where squashed before the tree fully landed.

You know how to make a satisfying game :) The trees dropping, the axe swing, the zombies dying all very juicy effects.

That's a cool concept. I really like your use of the theme. The tree falling animation is great.

One of the best games I have played in LD32. Very satisfying to spat the zombies. I love trying to get as many as I can with a treefall. Its also cool how disorienting it is when the tree lands.

Nice! I really enjoyed both cutting down the zombies one and one, and squashing hordes of them beneath the trees. One of the most fun games I have played this far in this Ludum Dare :)

Using trees on your enemies is unconventional!

Starting game play in this game was not intuitive. It wasn't obvious to me that you needed to hover the mouse on the tree in order to chop it down. I spent a couple of minutes walking up to trees and clicking and saying "Why won't the tree freakin' fall!" The timer mechanic was also clunky. It would have been better to just say "WASD to move, hover your mouse over the trees and aim the direction of their fall. Left click to chop the tree down." After you chopped down your first tree, the zombies would come. Boom, simple. I don't like having to restart the game to re-read the directions in order to figure out how to play the game.

Nice to see another game written in pure HTML5/JS. So much easier to just play in the browser.

Am I the only one, who thinks the axe look a bit like a toothbrush. Fun game. Great job.

I really enjoied the game! Very funny your tutorial. I did it twice only to see it.
I had a strage experience with the sound, each I was killed something like a sound"reberb" (can´t explain better) was stronger and stronger. I was using chrome.
Cool gameplay, Great job!
