Always freezes for a split second.

Having only one arrow really makes you play tactfully, which is great. Gave it a 4\/5."},{"author_name":"ThatGuy","author_uid":"17563","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 7:35am","epoch":1387179000,"text":"Fun but very difficult game. It's quite satisfying mowing down a row of zombies as you run through shooting... until you miss once. It took me a little while to realize I had to go out and find the zombies, but all in all, a fun game that would be worth working on further. Good job!"},{"author_name":"noobsticks","author_uid":"28984","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 7:35am","epoch":1387179000,"text":"The graphics are gorgeous. I like how you turned the YOGO mechanic into an ammo recovery mechanic. I felt that the gameplay gets monotonous, especially given that we have to kill 100 to win. Maybe different zombies, or more terrain features? Still, awesome! :)"},{"author_name":"supremefist","author_uid":"6395","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 7:38am","epoch":1387179180,"text":"Perfect application of the theme!

I wish zombie AI was a little smarter or more random. It's easy to get them into a big ball, and then just run in circles killing them. Also, zombies do not understand water."},{"author_name":"bugninja","author_uid":"8142","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:09pm","epoch":1387206240,"text":"There are a 100 zombies just so you don't run out very quickly while trying to get a high score, but my son said the exact same thing, so if I go further, I'll have to figure that out.  I also think BluShine is right that the zombies are basically idiots, really boring AI right now, but I have lots of ideas how I would like that to work, I just didn't have enough time during the compo.  Submitted with minutes to spare :)"},{"author_name":"bugninja","author_uid":"8142","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:11pm","epoch":1387206360,"text":"OK, dumped the Flash version completely, apparently it's just choppy for most people which ruins the game.
