The difficulty curve felt a little abrupt. One moment I was knocking single zombies off the building, when suddenly there was an entire swarm. Other than that, it was a neat little game (although I was a little sad that I couldn't take out zombies that were still walking around with a properly-timed manager).

Damn it - I turned it off for some reason or other then forgot to turn it back on.

Thanks LB

"I have an MBA" - Priceless... :)

Very cool, have the same complaints as TheLastBanana...
Great graphics!

Cool idea, nice graphics and a good implementation (despite the "hit zombies on the ground"-thing)

Thanks Jhelle,
On a side note the MBP 13 bug is fixed thanks to an update from libgosu

I really liked the style of the game, especially the little chat bubble in the title scene and spat out by panicked managers. Slick!

The difficulty does rack up very fast, but the lack of variety in game-play wouldn't support a longer game.

Excellent game. I loved taking about two zombies at once. Classic. I was disappointed that my manager didn't last till the very end of building. Why couldn't he take out one zombie near the top and one near the bottom? That seems like an oversight. Maybe you didn't want players arbitrarily spamming managers. That might make sense.

Anywho, great game!

Thanks Spooner and J.Axon.
Initaly there where two types of managers, a thin one and fat one. the fat one would plow through zombies to the bottom and the thin one only a couple of zombies. The fat got scraped cos I coded my self into a corner and it became troublesome so it got canned. I regret not adding a varity of managers, oh well, learning process I guess.

I threw a manager off the roof and he kept falling through the ground.

jdruid 2010-08-27 08:08

Good, but you have to play for like two minutes before there's any kind of a challenge.

someone 2010-08-29 06:02

Haha, great fun.

@Alan: And you don't mind the undead climbing up a building? :)
@JDruid: Yeah the curve is abit crap. Thanks.
@Someone: Thanks

Hehe, that was some funny fun :D! Well done!

Agree about the difficulty curve and that managers should splat when they hit the pavement.

pekuja 2010-09-05 00:57

Well that was rather morbid. I think it was the only game about throwing people off skyscrapers, so points for that.
