The mechanic ends up being pretty unique since you have to worry about the positioning of objects as well as yourself and the enemies. I had to think about where I was shooting things so that I could go back and pick them up later. I played with an xbox controller and it worked great. Oh, and cat is funny.\r<br\/> \r<br\/>The art is great, too. There's a lot objects in the game considering you only had 72 hours. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Not a whole lot of gameplay\/depth with only one level, it's more a prototype than a full game. But still fun. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Some music would have been nice, and really added to the game's atmosphere."},{"author_name":"wg_phancock","author_uid":"51056","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:39am","epoch":1429590840,"text":"Love the concept! Sucking up anything and everything and flinging it at zombies is very satisfying. I like how you even had items break apart, like the couch cushions off the couch and books from the bookshelves, etc.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Boy, it really gets tough pretty quickly though. Perhaps I am just terrible at it lol."},{"author_name":"xbcw","author_uid":"28725","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:38am","epoch":1429594380,"text":"Great job on the theme.. and pretty much everything else.
