I didn't know what was going on at first, but once I figured it out, I thought it was cool as hell! The game was short, but it was fun and interesting. Thanks for supporting Linux.

Getting shadowed by your previous life was pretty cool, I hope you can add more levels, different weapon types, or maybe some kind of power up system based on previous kills.

The zombie principal was interesting, but I actually won the game without dying and using it. You should make it more of a challenge, make the zombie usage mandatory.
