Nice entry! The movement was a bit fast for me but that's it! The music was fitting and the gameplay felt responsive and good to use. Well done on this game!

Seems nice, but the zombies are way too fast.
I found the best strategy to be to leave every house to die except one, and then protect the town hall and that one remaining house. Seems to work quite well actually!

The game is really nicely done, and the music is really good and fitting for the game.

The game is really fast, and you can't really survive without sacrificing all the houses except one. Also it would have been nice to have some in-game instructions. I would have put the instructions on the screen, or even make a more complex menu using wasd to go through the buttons. (like W to play, A to see the instructions or D to quit).

Otherwise, the game was really good.

For me the gameplay is a little too fast to be enjoyable (and it even gets faster after you use the shop). That makes it hard to make the precise adjustments required to hit the enemies.

Other than that; good use of the limitations. If the gameplay was a little slower I might have enjoyed it more.

Interesting concept! I do wish there was more a a tutorial on what to do and what things do. Zombies also move a little fast. I love the music!
