It took me several tries, but I finally saved all of the elves! I loved your interpretation of the UI is real wildcard. Super cool submission!

Nice idea, and a pretty smooth gameplay! I think it would benefit from some kind of ray/bullet to see the hit. I personally would also prefer to fir on click, not per interval. Some upgrades over time would also be cool. But overall - nice submission!

Freezing enemies as a means of non-lethal takedown is a pretty neat take on the theme, though the zombie elves sticking around once frozen meant that once I formed a barricade of ice-cubes it became a waiting game towards an inevitable victory. That's fine though, barricading yourself in is a time-honored strategy of zombie games :]

As a side note, if you're going to make a sound play once per second for the duration of the whole game, it really could do with a little bit of variety.

I like the way you implemented the wildcard. Often when games say they include the wildcard, I'm not really convinced of it. But this game makes it a real part of the gameplay, increasing the difficulty of the game by doing so. In one of my playthroughs I ended up building a shelter of frozen zombies, unfortunately locking myself inside while doing so xD

It was a fun little game with a really good implemented wildcard :D

Neat idea but not sure why I was being frozen every once in a while or the way to avoid it.

It's funbut frozen corpses accumulate and limit your movement. Maybe make the corpses crumble after some time.
