MrPhil

I found it very hard. I got about 1/2 way down before throwing in the towel. I like it.

dstrysnd

hahaha. this is awesome.

Notch

Hehe, is that a reference to Flight of the Conchords?

I beat the game, btw. Very fun!
Amazing.

edit: No, I didn\'t. omg. =D

demize

Innovation gets N/A, because you said that it was a copy of a game, but I don\'t know if that\'s true, so.. :P But it\'s a hard, fun game.

jolle

Cute but hard. Feels like collision box is a bit too big, but maybe I'm just bad at this.

Jach

Fun, challenging game. Good job!

edwardoka

Awesome. Zombie kittens, owls, and cake! This to me is what LD48 is all about. Humour, pace, challenge. I didn't put it down until I'd completed it.

Endurion

I like it. Very nice.
A lot of cute little touches that make it funny.

matrin

Kinda hard. I couldn't finish the zombie level.

Frimkron

Kept me playing for ages - simple but very effective gameplay. The appearance of a second level was a very pleasant surprise. Some kind of fullscreen mode might make it a little easier on the eyes.

kutani

This reminded me a lot of Yahtzee's "The Art of Theft", both in graphics and execution. That's pretty cool. First level was just challenging enough, but the hitboxes on the zombies made me quit. Way too big; too many times I had a clear jump over but died anyway.

Still, quite nice.

Codexus

I couldn't get into it, it was just too hard and frustrating and the window is so small it's hard to see anything. You get extra audio points for the cool robotic voice though.

Hamumu

I really liked it, but like MrPhil, it was crazy hard. It was fun in that I kept learning a little more and getting a little farther, but then one bad jump ruined it. I too gave up before I could make it all the way down. Maybe 3 hit points would be nice? But it was really cool and stylish and funny.

keeyai

Great FotC reference - 5 for humor for that + kittens.

Morre

Bloody excellent. Nicely animated, superb pixellation.
Gameplay is good fun and surprisingly long-lasting.
Zombies, references to Flight of the Conchords, Portal, and whatnot - this is a dream come true. This would most certainly win if I was the lone judge. :)

Mind you, after failing a miserable amount of times on the second level, I just completed it in debug mode in the end.

wonderwhy-er

Funny game. I think only one with easter eggs :D "Cake is unreal" :D Didn't got trough it all but got to middle of second building.

DrPetter

Win! I love games where you can tell each level was made "for real" and with some intent rather than just being hacked up in a level editor using off-the-shelf tiles etc. Special functionality and one-off events are great to make things interesting.
I expected it to be a lot less forgiving than it actually was, too. Respawn points were an unexpected but appreciated boon.
Next time: use an in-game screenshot to represent it! I almost passed on this one because the title screen looked like a dull game ;)

pansapiens

Cute sprites ! Great, detailed levels ! Excellent sound ! On theme ! Funny ! Plays well ... tough but not too tough. Great little game.

Deepflame

Funny game, I had a good time trying to get to the end, though I didn't actually manage. (Time constraints, might try again later.)

ALL HUMANS MUST BE TERMINATED!

Sivart13

I got too annoyed to ever make it to the second level. Why does your dude move so slippery-ly?
