One of the most fun games I've played so far. I was a little pissed when the theme came out because I knew it'd be a whole lot of YOGO weapon, but this game can get away with it because it IS really fun.

The graphics were great, and it was pretty funny as well. The sound was relatively nice and fit the overall theme of your game.

I REALLY liked the hammer effect. The whole screen shake and the way the character moved was very nice. It felt like it was taking control away from me for a tiny bit too long, but that's my only real complain on the mechanics side.

Nice job.

Really cool game, but it lags terribly when a new wave is created. Anyway, it was very relaxing to smash those fuckers :)

Thanks to both of you, it's really nice to read that :) I'm working on a patch to remove the bug that sometimes closes the game. I keep you in touch

Thanks Glovecat :)
I updated the game on both platform : I fixed the bug that sometimes shutdown the game when dying and the spacebar keybind on Game Over screen (to avoid to close the game by inadvertance)

Not bad at all, it could become a good game with some more complex mechanics. The controls feel a bit clunky from time to time, though. I found it a bit hard to not smash the rabbit, so I ended up smashing it too to avoid being hit; maybe you could make it run a bit faster than the monsters?

Cool game!
After the double giant green monster the game had some slowdown at the beginning of the next two waves, but thats no big deal.
The graphics and music were quite nice.
Nice work :)
