Nice job, nice whack-a-mole. Tough! The zombies are fast! I don’t have enough holiness!

Seems like zombies spawn faster on monitors with higher refresh rate. Going from 144 to 60 Hz made it more manageable.

I enjoyed playing the game. The graphics were good, and the sound effects fitted the game.

\n

Perhaps having one control method would be easier, like for mouse have left and right buttons for different actions.

\n

It was good that the attack wasn’t time limited like the shovel was, most of the time I found myself waiting for the shovel to reset.

\n

I didn’t let the zombies touch the people, I assume that’s what was needed, I may play again later and see what happens.

great fast action! I lasted a long time and was able to do quite well, despite the frantic weapon switching! good job.

Interesting concept!

\n

It is quite fun to play and this is the kind of game you want to try again to get better at.

\n

As we’re spending most of our time hitting zombies, I think the sounds could be slightly more friendly to the ear :) It has a fun 8-bit style, but a bit too repetitive!

\n

Also, I think it’s great to add the game goal inside the level, so that players are reminded what to do.\nMaybe you could add a really simple version just before the user clicks on “Start”?\nSo that the first player knows what they will get into, when they click on it!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t really play this game. I have “search as you type” enabled in my browser, so every time I press a key it brings up the search. You should call .preventDefault() for all keyboard events to prevent this.

cool idea, nice concept of a survival game. The zombies moved a bit too fast and on a laptop it is a real deal to keep switching the tools. This made the second level almost endless

Interesting take on tower-defense sort of game. I wasn’t able to use the shovel most of the time, as clicking on holes often didn’t do anything, but sometimes it would shove the zombie hand back inside. Hammering the zombie hordes was simple enough though. I don’t understand the holiness meter.\nCute graphics and nice work on the sound effects.

It kept me on my toes, clicking as fast as I could. I felt that the levels were a bit too long.

Wow, it gets stressful after a while when there are a lot of zombies and you need to juggle between the hammer and the shovel.

\n

Note: The zombies flicker quite a bit (Chome OS).
