However I didn't know what I'm gaining from hitting zombies - sure, I get zombie points on the scoreboard, but how does that help me win? Or rather - why would it be more difficult if I don't kill the zombies?\nHad quite fun playing though, and the \"surprise\" for winning a set is also quite nice. :D Good job overall!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"caeonosphere","author_uid":"1082136","time":"2018-04-23T08:15:30Z","epoch":1524471330,"modified":1524471330,"text":"I managed to win only by spamming click... you need a mechanic to punish cheaters like me! :D","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Lumous","author_uid":"1042883","time":"2018-04-23T08:18:17Z","epoch":1524471497,"modified":1524471497,"text":"Hmm..

Since the day\/night cycle is real-time instead of turn based, you can strategically hold your serve to win the game when the zombie population is at its peak. \n\nServing is one of the weaker features of the game really, since the AI seems pretty much incapable of returning a well placed shot. If you want, you can play it like a shooter of sorts by continually re-tying the game on the serve while alternately taking down zombies.\n\nThe Art is very cohesive and I really like the style it has going for it. The sound effects that I noticed are good, but there isn't any music, and I feel like the audience and zombies could be more vocal. I found the tennis itself quite challenging, at least on the return game. It would have felt more complete if there was some form of victory \/ defeat, whether that be at 100 zombies 6 games, or whatever. I really liked the way this tackled the theme though, you have zombies being zombies, tennis players being tennis players, and a game win mechanic which helps unify them.

Sound effects felt a little lacking though, and it took me a while to notice the umpire's speech bubbles.\n\nI didn't find much use for the strong shot, especially given that the AI didn't seem to cope very well with soft shots nearer the net anyway. It was also quite difficult to deal with balls being left in play after a point is scored, as the AI had a tendency to fire them at me.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"SelfTitled","author_uid":"1000577","time":"2018-04-23T22:01:13Z","epoch":1524520873,"modified":1524520874,"text":"I can't seem to get the ball over the net, I suck at tennis and savin the world from zombie invasion apparently.
