Almost a solid game...

Fun game, humor was used well, also there were some unexpected moments. the train stages were a nice break from the monotony of the regular gameplay. the game is well built, but it's way too easy, and doesn't really offer anything new. it looks great tho, and wa good enough to keep my attention till the end. i wish that there was more strategy involved tho. inf bullets, jumping and running backwards makes u nearly un-hittable, lives refilling on each stage... lol these all made the game too easy... easy games get boring fast.

Fucking Genius.

Just as addictive as back in the day. You even had the G&W style frame. This is what a homage should be. Who would even think to make such a retro style game. This my friend, is a stroke of genius. The game seems to be making a beat once you get to the higher levels. is that intentional? I found myself bobbing my head to the rythmic sound of my 'blades' tearing thru the minotaur's flesh. lol... Fantastic job. This is a classic example of solid gameplay standing out, regardless of the graphics. that new tankmen game looks 100 years better than this one, but the gameplay is shit. I had mounds more fun with this one.

Breath-taking visuals!!! but....

the game is SHIT. the autozoom on the camera sux donkey balls. Thats your only problem... but it's a gigantic problem. If you can't see anything, you can't play the game. The autozoom NEEDS to come off. it's so stupid... I mean why would you do that? lol... The game looks SO awesome, that I hate to be so harsh, but I mean come on... It zooms in WAAAY too close when there are no enemies, and when there are enemies, the cam immeadiately zooms wayyy out. retarded. what the hell are you thinking man? Even smash bros cam isnt that shitty. (which I suspect is where u got the idea from?) Fix the cam, and this game gets 10 stars, and a 5-vote. this game is totally unplayable as is.

Well done, but same ol' same ol...

This game is very well put together.. but it's not really that fun. I've seen hundreds of games exactly like this. Very little is original in this game. The weapon system was hard to understand. And the battles were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAYYYY too easy. Like I said... final line: it's a very well made unoriginal game. Anyone that has never played a game like this will think this is amazing.
Anyway, Lets get some new Ideas going here! This guy definitely has the skills to make a great game, just needs some fresh material!! Keep at it man! You're really good!

Fantastic Idea... Shotty execution.

This game is a GREAT concept, and it's put together VERY nicely. Only problem is that it's not that fun after 10 minutes. The game just isn't challenging. I didn't feel like the difficulty of the game was increasing at all, and there are no real objectives to accomplish, so all you really do is wander around in a moderately zombie-infested city with a bunch of noob humans that don't shoot anything until you turn into a zombie. lol...

But your concept is totally awesome! Playing as a zombie is something you don't get to do too often, so I found that to be a greatly innovative touch! You really designed the game well, and everything works fine, it's just that you didn't make it challenging. I think that making increasing item/power-up spawns, increasing the amount of enemies, or making the few enemies that are there more aggressive would instantly up this games enjoyment factor. Anyway, I'm going to play the sequel now because this game was promising, so maybe zombieman2 will actually deliver the goods!!! Good luck man, and keep on making great games!! You got skills homie! lol

ps: The first thing I noticed was how gay the main character looked in the home screen. lol... gotta change that "fashion model" pose for future games. It does not look tough. lol

Crap.. (but with GREAT potential.)

The concept was great, but the execution was crap. Firstly, the ridiculously jumbo "combo multiplier" pulsating, and throbbing on screen makes it hard to see the ball, and the entire screen shaking is just stupid. I can honestly say that my eyes were aching after I finished playing this.

Secondly the responsiveness of the paddle is shit. And though I thought the baseball guys were a nice innovative touch, their physics are shit. lol... most of the time, the ball would hit them *after* they swung, but the ball would still deflect away from them. This made The level where you have to unlock the bricks, VERY frustrating.

Anyway, this could've been a great game if it weren't for the multiplier effects, and shotty hit detection on the B-ball guys... The Idea is unique, and very original, I think it's a GRAND concept!! It's just impossible to get over the shaky-seizure-inducing visuals. I'm all for exciting graphics, but the ones in this game are just too much. I think u should release a toned down version. You have a great Idea here.

good concept...but boring, uninspiring execution

The lack of sound effects and music makes this game boring as hell. You only needed like 4 sfx: Jumping, landing, taking damage, and the sound of the world spinning with different speeds and tones for how fast the spin is. Would it really have been so hard to add these? Also a nice background song would've been nice. The controls and physics are solid, and very responsive though.

Also, I liked the artistic representation of the seasons... It made this game feel like it had a poetic message behind it like, "no matter what, the world will fail and end"... I feel like this game is a metaphor for life, and how fast we can let it go by.

So overall, great concept, (and message if thats what you were trying to do) but as I play this game it feels unfinished. It feels like it's missing alot.

-I'm sure that you guys will come up with some really awesome stuff in the future though. Even though this game has flaws, I see innovative potential in your work.
