Very neat.

I like this one!

00:02:05 kills, 42 kills. I got dizzy.

I love the one-button-control concept! Aiming is hard when I can't use arrows to do it!

Great work sticking to the minimalism idea.

Nice - a seemingly complex mechanic that is actually quite easy to master and pull of fancy tricks with. Minimalistic in every sense of the word. It was also a nice touch that shooting a zombie in a group causes the other ones to exploded. Great job!

Love it! One of the best fitting with the theme, plays almost like a comedy! Why not make the viewport bigger so you can see everything?

great use of the theme and good mechanic..good job :)

Love the concept, but the controls make the game very hard...

This is so cool! I know a lot of people that say one button games can't be fun. This proves them wrong :) I find it amazing how fast one can adapt to this completely uncommon input scheme. Sure, I wouldn't want it for super mario, but this game does it really good.

Big fan of one-switch games. Nice use of the length of key-press for different interactions. Well done! :)

Very nice use of both the theme and the one-button mechanic. I found it easy to learn and (somewhat) difficult to master, and that's the mark of a great design.

Congratulations! :)

Wow...another game that would be perfect for touch screens. CocoonJS or Cordova would package it up for you.

My best was 2:23, 53 kills. A lot of fun using only one key. The movement was the hardest - my finger got tired. Very cool concept; well executed.

very cool; thought it was gonna be frustrating to control, but it actually works really well once you get used to it: smart

I like the concept. Controls are are hard at first but I learned fast (first try 10 seconds, second try 1 minute...)
Fits the theme perfectly in terms of visuals and mechanics. good job :)

Really liked this one. Unique controls make it super fun. I will definitely play this one again. Great job!

Very clever!

57 kills! Innovative controls! :)
