At first I was like, what this is dumb. Then I realized you could line up the zombies and kill them all with one throw if you're good and then I was like daaaamn. So in the end I liked it!

Might be worth considering if you're OK with a slight learning curve. That way everyone can play your game, AND with minimal effort ;)\rAnyway, I did think this game was quite fun.

But might be for many others.\r\rAll in all I like the game :) cool idea\r\rbtw, this is no real bug. but you might not have noticed, that moving diagonal is faster than vertical or horizontal movement ;)\r\rSPOILER: The last level is it really intended to end the game once you lose the ball? :)\r\rgood job!"},{"author_name":"mtinkerhess","author_uid":"20708","time":"Jan 6, 2014 @ 2:42am","epoch":1388975820,"text":"Nice take on the theme.

A time ago I made a similar game but it was a FPS: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h7fK8A0Agak , but yours is more arena type of game.

As far as a progress on my skills i can say that my drawings are getting good as well as my coding logic.\r\nAlso i was live-streaming for the first time but of course nobody was watching but that's okey n_n i didn't talk, i only played this awesome music that i found this week! Anyways, i had fun :D Ludum Dare is awesome!!! \r\nI hope you guys had fun! Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to all :3","title":"Call of Monsters"}
