the gameplay would be way smoother/more fun if you were able to punch while running, could use some stuff like screenshakes in my opinion, graphics are quite cool ::::)))))

Nice game.

I think being able to attack while moving would be nice, as it kinda sucks that you need to completely stop before attacking.

Loved the sound effects!

This game has a lot going for it. Cool sound, cool graphics, cool atmosphere. That said, you really need to tighten up those controls. When it comes to platformers, tight vs clunky controls makes all the difference in the world. I shouldn't keep sliding off platforms I'm trying to land on. Spend a little more time on that and you've got yourself a really solid (if short) entry!

Nice game! it's impossible to use fists/axe without having half your health taken out though but I guess that's part of the challenge.

Haha, I love surfing the zombies, although that should probably be fixed. Great job with sound and graphics, I really like the style! It also bugs out like crazy when I move the window (incorrect game time == player falling though walls).

Loved the sound effects, graphics, and gameplay was good. But the controls! I wish it were a easier to control the player.
