The game was quite fun! At first it was a little annoying that you only have one life bar through the whole game, but now that I see how long it is, I think that was actually a pretty good decision. The graphics were obviously not award-winning, but they worked, and so long as I could tell the difference between the zombie types (which I could), it's fine. The title screen image of double rainbow zombies is hilarious, although I have to wonder if you have rights to that image."},{"author_name":"stqn","author_uid":"2181","time":"Aug 24, 2010 @ 7:21pm","epoch":1282677360,"text":"I liked this game, I think you could make it into a good puzzle game. Well done with the tutorial and progressive progression (or whatever); the only problem I had was finding how to make zombies do their thing (press space for a long time, which isn't documented).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Oh and I first downloaded the linux package but I couldn't run the .jar, so I used the web start thing which worked very well."},{"author_name":"Surrealix","author_uid":"215","time":"Aug 25, 2010 @ 3:37am","epoch":1282707120,"text":"Not being a fan of the DoubleRainbowZombie theme, I had low expectations for this game. However, it had a solid mechanic that fitted the EAW theme nicely. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I didn't get all the way through. When I got to the hoards of zombies, I knew what I had to do, but I just made a basic mistake and ended up dying. So I'm not a fan of the life system (as an LD game, it probably works well if you weren't trying to play 20 of these in an evening).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Well done for getting a complete game out, with artwork that's not 'fake pixel' or 'retro vector'.
