I really enjoyed this game :D Great timing for Halloween too!

One bug: when entering a password, the levels have no music, whereas normally the levels have music.

On the plus side, I really liked the physics simulation. It was fun to try and kill zombies in a new way, one that involves a bit more strategy, too!

i believe i suck at your game but the graphics are nice and
the gameplay is easy to learn. could be a good game to waste some time in coffee breaks ;)

Yeh, jumping on the zombies heads kills them, actualy touching the zombies in any way makes them fall to pieces.

Perfectly normal. It was kind of out of character for Leroy to jump high off the ground. Anyway it makes the jumps that bit harder.

Thanks for the cool reviews and comments :), keep em comin.

Ha ha.... that was one fun game! and the fact that you can only jump "yeh" high makes it all the more interesting and challenging... good call on that.

Great story :), very amusing. It's cool when you kill a bunch of zombies all at once hehe, they all make that noise, pretty satisfying, plays well too.

I enjoyed the unique gameplay, great job.

I did find jumping from one ledge to another to be a little awkward and frustrating though. I seemed to glide through what looked like solid ground a lot.

lol dude, nice arcade style and an intentionaly cheesy plotline just iced the cake for killing zombies with giant metal bowling balls. Overall, a great time-waster game.

PS, I liked how you made it really arcade style by putting that "3 letter initials" thing afterward.
