I won't lie this isn't the first Minecraft/Zombie game I've played, but none the less its solid stuff.

The head bob mechanic gave me motion sickness, and it was very hard to tell what counted as a legitimate hit because they only die on the 2nd hit. The Aesthetic was nice and very consistent.

I couldn't figure out how to get/use the gun. The zombies' faces were a little terrifying, haha.

Impressively fully-functional!

I was thinking at one point that I was getting tired of kiting zombies, and then I turned around and there was a terrifying face in my face...so that was successful. :D

Random suggestion: better indication of when you manage to score a hit (zombie "ouch" noises, some kind of blood-splatter sprite, etc).

Pretty fun, although I avoided the bridge when I realized you were immortal up there.

Pretty good. I killed the beebs, which is really what counts in the end. I couldn't figure out how to change to the gun, so I had to stab all the zombies in their block faces. Also you can use the medpack before you taken any damage, so be careful.

Either i was doing something wrong, or the zambles take way to many hits, I'm pretty sure i shot one like, 11 times before he eventually collapsed after i stabbed him. Also the gun shot sound was way too harsh.

Head bob is too much for this game, reminds me of Guncraft and L4D2 had a weird baby. I get pretty bad performance issues, but I think it's my end as nobody else is complaining about it. I agree with other people that there needs to be an 'ouch' sound for when you hit zambies. Some of the sounds a bit much for me. (too harsh.) Pretty good work!

Damnit, it won't start on windows! To bad, this looks such promising!

@TheWhiteLama That's odd. This game was mainly developed on Windows (one of our team members was on Mac). Remember to install XNA 4.0!

Scored 380! A solid entry, but why in the world couldn't I kill Bieber?

OMG THE BEEBS

This was a fun game, impressive 3D environment for the time, solid mechanics. I would have loved some kind of health indicator above the zombies' heads, but I know that would have probably been too much to put in in the 48 hour period.

Overall, a solid game, but not so sure about how the theme fits in. Still fun though!
