Really well done concept, controlled well, and such an interesting concept - would love to see new and different weapons in the future!

Zombie survival and golf isn't something I'd expect to see together, but I have to say that I did in fact enjoy it, it runs well and it looks good. Good job!

Super cute art style, brilliant concept! Only problem I had was the score slightly disappearing off the top of the screen (Very High 1920x1080).

Interesting game, but the survival aspect seemed a little off. If I'm picking up wood and stone, I would expect to build something with them instead of just chucking them away? Some small crafting mechanic would have been better, like making a stone axe. Still a fun little idea!

such a fun idea! amazing!
Lower the wind strenght, implement a simple crafting with the stone and wood and I would 100% buy it.

Amazing game !!! I do not know if it was intentional, but I think the ball should pass through the body of the dead enemies

I enjoyed playing this game! It was unique and a new take on a zombie survival game. At first i was confused about the end goal of the game. Once I realized, I was knocking out zombies like it was my job. I loved the simple graphics and the mechanics fit well with the theme. Great Game!

@snapman-gt crafting was intended, but we just didn't have enough time to pull it off!

@TheVash we wanted to have the wind there because it's such a fundamental part of golf, but I agree it's a bit annoying now. Ideally, we'd have even crazier winds, but you'd be able to craft a wind barrier potion and null it out... or improve your golf club to reduce wind effect... so many ideas, so little time

@BalladofSong yeah, a simple in-game tutorial would benefit the project a lot, but glad you got the hang of it and smashed those zombies!

Thank everyone for the great comments, we're doing our best to check all your games :)

I liked the game, but I felt a little disappointed when the gold balls didn't kill the zombies... Although, very well executed game, the golfing felt very nice with the wind and the strength settings.

Loved the graphics, simple but charming.

The gameplay was fun and the art was so charming! I found a glitch where I can still play after I died, only I'm an invincible dead zombie.

i died not long after this! :P loved it :) really liked moving around, got my strategy of leaveing one zombie alive whilst i go harvest resources, then when there are large hoards i got into the habbit of firing one stone and two bits of wood. seemed most effective :) i like that the dead bodies stopped projectiles too, forced me to moove to get a better angle on the shambling dead! great use of the theme :) ONLY thing that let it down was sound. no sound :( would've been quite funny to hear those rocks bounding off the zombies heads.
i also liked the comedic speech bubbles too :) most impressive. well done

Super cute game! Played until day 11 to see if there would be a you win screen at the end of day 10 or something xD
Golfing feels good, great art, good job guys! :D

I really like how you mix those themes in one game!
There is very nice to have feedback from the zombies-waves to be able to think a strategy to play.

Perhaps it would be nice to have a way to win life over the days? I'm not sure with this because I feel the design of the game is in a perfect balance to enjoy the game.

Just one thing about the gameplay, it would be great if the ball stop before than now (just a little).

It was amazing to see you implement a wind mechanic, that was nice!

So, good job and hope we see in next ludum dare!

I really liked the art style! Those zombie icons and the UI are super cute!
I don't know if there was some problem with my browser or something but I couldn't hear any audio.

Overall I had a good ammount of fun, the gameplay is quite challenging sometimes.

Good work, congratulations!
