Nice game. I made 346 pts.
that was a lot of zombies and shuttlecocks jajajaja.
Thanks for sharing.

Got 508 points! It is a really fun game, the control is quite tight and killing waves and waves of zombie is very satisfying. The music is minimalist but fits the theme quite well. Nice work! It would be nice if it is a stand-alone build so I don't need to install your game first. Also I find the screen is a bit small to cope with the number of zombies at the end, basically I die almost immediately once it restart

This is pretty funny :), managed to score a bit over 750, after button mashing pretty hard. Good job on the weapon choice and the smash mechanic

@Leandrus I was going for the spirit of how ridiculous a bullet hell can get. I'm glad you liked it.
@jackyjjc I honestly thought the music was the worst part of the game, but I'm glad it fits. Thanks. I'm thinking of updating the link later to make it standalone, because I didn't know how to do so when I submitted this.
@Muffin thanks. I intended to show the spirit of playing badminton. I'm glad that went through.

I updated the link. Now it's standalone, so you don't need to install anything anymore.

Really liked the concept. But at the end, it's just staying at the right place and mashing button. But so satisfying. The sound adds a lot to the experience !! Congrats

Good work on all fronts! Really tight and well designed, and was a ton of fun to play :) Good choice of mechanics!

Awesome game! I'm sure why but jump smashing shuttlecocks into zombies felt so satisfying! Also, I'm not sure whether this was intended, I like the fact that after you restart a couple of times, the amount of shuttles and zombies spawning go through the roof and makes it even more chaotic!

ueki_shurei2006 2015-04-20 15:07

@ajopart The speed at which a shuttlecock is launched is actually slightly randomized, so maybe I'll increase the range more for post-jam.
@OccamRazor Thanks! I'm glad I made this game.
@orukinawa Thanks for pointing that out! If you notice, the Score doesn't restart at 0, and because the amount of shuttlecocks and zombies spawned is affected by the score, the result is that you basically continue the game, not retry. I will fix this for post-jam.

Liked the way you had to use the racket to hit the shuttlecocks at the zombies, gave it an interesting aspect to the weapon choice. Also the variety with the jump hit was a nice touch from the ground hit.

HAHAHA nice! I must've killed all zombies in the galaxy but I still failed! Please give me a new mouse :)

Very fun little game. I got 777, but I think I broke my mouse XD

firecamp 2015-04-22 00:46

funny little smash game. liked it

ueki_shurei2006 2015-04-22 11:27

@murilo @Bergara Glad you didn't break your fingers in the process haha.

ueki_shurei2006 2015-04-22 11:29

@Franklin's Ghost, I thought that jump smashing by itself wouldn't be fun, and people would just stick to smashing on the ground if I didn't add something. Glad you like it.

This is funny. Good idea. Congrats!!
