Graphics were very good, too, on par with the superb sound work.\rGameplay, though, is where I think your game was a bit flawed. Level 1 had the perfect difficulty in my opinion, where I could keep a rhythm while enjoying the music and the graphics... but even then the left and right shots didn't seem to make any difference - I could beat the whole level by pressing just one of them, and sometimes I wasn't able to hit a zombie with any of them. From level 2 on things just got exponentially too chaotic for me and I smashed the keys hoping for the best, while not being able to pay much attention to the music - which was a sin!
