If LD had a 'Satisfying' rating, you'd get 5 stars from me. I didn't think you could top the sound of the zombies dying as your thow the rock-thing through a group of them... until the bulldozer.

Very nice. Good mood. Great production value. Well done!
Love the art and animation in this game! Gameplay is very smooth too! Very nice
I thought it couldn't get any better when the zombies slowly killed themselves by tripping on the ninja star, that bulldozer proved me wrong. I agree with Darkcoder, it was just satisfying. Please turn this into a full game, great work.
Best game I have seen this round and potentially a winner. Great work!
A bit short but it still very nice.
The graphics and the animation look great !
Perfect simply perfect!!! The best one I've seen so far! It's really fun and you really got the theme. I love, the kind of game I would love to have on my phone to kill spare-time
Basically what everyone else said.
After I got the bulldozer I had to drive way way back again just so I could push all the zombie corpses around.
Sound effects are subtle but add a nice touch, and the music's great.
Amazing! Overall 5/5.
Thank you so much everyone for the nice comments!!
@HydeWyver: I'll probably port it to mobile when i have some extra time ;)
A really good game, you got everything right - simple but nice graphics, nailed the theme & fun gameplay. Well done.
Very nice entry. I love how the creatures are destroyed.
The mood was very good and the animation of the creatures dying is really so good! I also like the theme usage
I would change the fact that the enemy dies just by touching the rock and not by the hit, but I guess the game would be too hard though...
and the new unity 2d features are indeed really awesome
Really fun. I felt like the character moved rather slowly though.
Not bad atmosphere, pixel-art graphics, I loved it =) It was really fun to play it.
*spoiler*
Finally I reached the invisible wall. Is it the end of the game?
Nice polish. Love the idea and the mechanics felt good. I wish there was a way to win though.
The best game I've played yet! I especially love the arm-flapping animation as the character lands a jump!
@Suese: There is a way to win... pick the thing at the end and bring it back to the beggining. Maybe I should have pointed out that more clearly...
Very very good! But once I got my weapon in a corner surrounded by zombies I was sooo screwed. :D
Amazing!! I hope this one wins! The gameplay the physics and the rock provide is really funny, it's a pity the game is so short :)
Can you zip up the .app OS X version on your drive? That way people can download it, instead of browsing its contents. =)
Strong concept, pleasant color palette, cute animations (I love the "flapping" falling animation), and good sound design.
However, I was unable to throw the rock over the cliff and resign myself to joining the zombie horde. For this I give you zero points.
haha. No, you did well. Thumbs up!
@TedBrown: Oops! Sorry about that. The zipped version is just uploading for your enjoyment. It'll be ready in a minute.
Haha, very smash on zombie. Sploff. Great game, i love the improvised animation.
Simple but fun and satisfying gameplay.
Darkcoder put it very well: Your game is very 'satisfying' :) Well done!
Quite fun, getting the vehicle at the end and pushing around zombie bits was a nice touch, quite enjoyable while it lasted.
Graphics are cute, controls are precise and fun and difficulty is well adjusted. Cool!
More fun than it had any right to be. Picking up the ninja star (or rock, if you insist) in tight spots was trickier than it should be. Also, enemies tended to kill themselves on the star lying on the ground.
Played web version, got to invisible wall before cliff, no bulldozer? Had to commit suicide.
Funny little game. The splat sound effect was oddly satisfying. Great idea to be able to just ride back with bulldozer and push all the corpses around. Shame there isn't any real win condition though
AdventureIslands: There is!! Take the bulldozer back to the beggining and jump the cliff
Jump off the left cliff*
I did that, but I just kept falling on forever. No congratulation text or anything. That's what I meant by no ending.
Great physics on this simple platformer. Really good idea that you used velocity of the rock to determine damage. Art and colours are very nice also, and breaking pixels when they die is a fun touch! Overall great job for your second LD entry!
The fact that a zombie can kick a rock until it's dead makes this a winner in my book.
Awesome! Bulldozing the zombies is super satisfying!
Weird, I got no congratulation text in the end at all, bug? Oh well. It's well done and funny game regardless.
Probably a bug... thanks anyway!
This is really nice. Good work!
Nicely done of the shruiken mechanics..
Good use of pixel parallax (bg layers) niice!
despite only 1 shruiken the bounce-kill effect is pretty rewarding.. well done! (also discover this game thanks to twitch.tv from user: Jellycakes1)
Really well done, had a lot of fun playing this, and the ending was pretty satisfying. Also the trail effects on the rock were pretty nice. Nice work!
Pretty fun and short experience. The ending made me laugh.
This was slick! Really digging it, great work!
Really fun! Small oddity that if you leave the rock between you and a zombie they will kill themselves, but great entry. :)
Pretty much awesome :P Very satisfying SFX, graphics, and gameplay. Squish! *****
really great game! lots of room for expansion too! I would suggest making this into a bigger game! great job!
love 2 bean the zombs with my rock
Okay. That made me chuckle a little. Well done!
Looks great - the accumulating pixel parts are a nice touch. I saw you have an Android version - does it support game pad input (e.g., Ouya)?
Wow, it's simple but everything feels right. Sound, graphics and animations are well done.
Excellent Game, a very good gameplay. I like how the rock "splits" the zombies! :)
I tried the Android version on my tablet, it runs wells, but there is a small annoying bug: each time I die, the game doesn't restart. I have to exit the game, kill it, and relaunch it to play again.
Despite being short, it managed to be quite repetitive. No challenge to it at all. A reluctant bonus point for the bulldozer, which was the best part of this little presentation.
Nice game, really liked the graphics and the audio. The zombies falling apart looked great. The only bad part I believe is the rockusage it feels really odd.
The physics was pretty good in the game. Didn't realize that thing was a bulldozer until i read the comments.
Wow nice game ! Amazing mechanics, the gameplay is smooth I love it. Nice use of sprite pixel, cool animation and funny sounds and great rewarding end !
Really dig the left to right / right to left change - and the weapon is ultimate zombie destruction. :D
well made! graphics and animations are cool.
btw, I bumped into the big enemy and my character disappeared, couldn't do anything after that :p
I just love how this game ends. Great, funny twist.
Kind of missing a 'win' condition?
The ancestors really known what weapon they should left me.
The decomposition of the zombies in small pixel blocks is a great idea.
Nice job on the audio.
Hah, pretty awesome! Sweeping the zombie bits away with the bulldozer felt awesome.
Short, but very good! I loved the pixel art and the slow-moving clouds! Just needed some music, though the sfx were great xD
My only complaint would be that sometimes it was really hard to detect live zombies in a pile of zombie corpses :P
this was really awesome! really simple, but great looking and i loved the physics of the rock, really well put together!
Very fun physic effect, and the pixel art make it really special. Almost missed the bulldozer (thanks comments). I would really like to play more of this.
Rock is now one of my favorite in-game weapons of all time. I love all of the unexpected ways that it bounces and causes damage.
Ah. Bulldozer. Thought it was some sort of a weird dead-animal-horn or something.
Nice and simple. I really love the graphics and the ending.
I have to read some comments to understand how I can finish the game. The bulldozer just looked like some bones on the ground.
Overall 5/5.
I like the nice graphics, audio and the game concept. I don't like the controls (only fun to use on qwerty-keyboards), level design, length of the game and that the "stone" is deadly to the enemies even lying on the ground. But nonetheless overall a good entry.
Holy cow, full points from me! :D great job! Really like the ending! :D
Great game! :)
Pushing every zombie part afterward was really fun.
Wow! You made it really good!
Nice graphics and gameplay, all got well polished,
Good job :D
Nice visuals and music - as well as the sound effects (I love this splash sound while killing a zombie). The platforming and especially the stone throwing physics are great and it was fun to fight against the zombies. The item you pickup at the end was fun, too. It's sad that you hadn't the time to make the game a bit longer or to dig into these two mechanics (stone and the other item) deeper!
Not bad, good art.
