Nice game, I like the graphics. But how do I kill the zombies?

How many planks does the city need? It always shows 0%

30 Planks for 1 house 300 Planks 1 city also the tutorial states that you use the axe to kill the zombie which is controlled by mouse. Hope you enjoy

the axe/mouse mechanic is pretty nifty, but it's a tad awkward. Fun little game overall!

Pretty cool! the only thing is that you can basically just run in a circle to collect the wood. Other than that, the idea is awesome! - Kintinue

Neat game! The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the axe moved opposite of the mouse location. I would personally prefer it if the axe always faced the mouse.

Nice music, nice game. Control feel a bit weird. Good entry overall!

The game is interesting. I did encounter a situation where I totally drain my stamina and lost my ability to swing. I had to run into the zombies with my axe pointed at them.

You had a very good instructions screen. I wasn't lost at all as to what I was doing, or how to do it, which is total props. :) Once I got into the game and started playing it, though, you mentioned that the axe swinging was a bit derpy, and I DO agree.
There needs to be a more solid axe swinging mechanic and you probably need better collision detection and perhaps some visual feedback on screen when your guy gets hit. I thought I was killing zombies, when in fact I was dying pretty pathetically. ;)
I was also challenged to get to 300 Wood, and I managed to do that really easily once I discovered how to avoid the zombies entirely. Then it became very easy to do so. :) With more balance, I think that this game could be really good!

pretty much fun. I liked it. I liked the music.
It was easy once you get the hang of it, I wish the game got harder by time.
also I think controlling the axe was a bit...ummm... confusing, I know you did that to add challenge to the game but I think the challnge should lay somewhere else.

good job I really enjoyed it

Probably the most amazing music I've heard so far. The game was okay though; the ax was unwieldy and difficult to use.

I really enjoyed this one. The music is really nice and I like the concept. The graphics hurt my eyes(graphic designer), but it's still quite fun to smash up the zombies. The trees grow fast in this universe.
