PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X

Very fun. That last second speed burst from the zombies really caught me off guard.
Hilarious. The combat was actually fun and challenging trying to time your swings correctly.
Cool man! That's sick, crushing zombies by dropping trees haha. Well executed, well made! Would be nice if those trees needed a few hits extra before using them, would add to the gameplay. Nice entry
Made me laugh, great job! It always amazes me what people can accomplish in 47 - 72 hours. However, I did notice that visually the zombies where squashed before the tree fully landed.
Cutting down those trees is super satisfying. Really well polished sound and animation. Well done!
You know how to make a satisfying game :) The trees dropping, the axe swing, the zombies dying all very juicy effects.
Chop, chop, chop! Nice little game, had fun playing it, but controls were a bit awkward
That's a cool concept. I really like your use of the theme. The tree falling animation is great.
i'm laughing so hard, jajaja the idea is really good! so fun and hilarious to play. Really polished. Love it, good job!
One of the best games I have played in LD32. Very satisfying to spat the zombies. I love trying to get as many as I can with a treefall. Its also cool how disorienting it is when the tree lands.
Nice! I really enjoyed both cutting down the zombies one and one, and squashing hordes of them beneath the trees. One of the most fun games I have played this far in this Ludum Dare :)
Using trees on your enemies is unconventional!
Starting game play in this game was not intuitive. It wasn't obvious to me that you needed to hover the mouse on the tree in order to chop it down. I spent a couple of minutes walking up to trees and clicking and saying "Why won't the tree freakin' fall!" The timer mechanic was also clunky. It would have been better to just say "WASD to move, hover your mouse over the trees and aim the direction of their fall. Left click to chop the tree down." After you chopped down your first tree, the zombies would come. Boom, simple. I don't like having to restart the game to re-read the directions in order to figure out how to play the game.
Nice to see another game written in pure HTML5/JS. So much easier to just play in the browser.
Am I the only one, who thinks the axe look a bit like a toothbrush. Fun game. Great job.
great idea, and I like the animation of the falling tree
but it run kinda slow for me, I'm using firefox
Amazing idea for a game, very challenging though! Those zombies sure go fast when they smell you!
Great job!
awesome idea :D
very good implementation also
graphics could have been a bit more unified
wll done anyways
I really enjoied the game! Very funny your tutorial. I did it twice only to see it.
I had a strage experience with the sound, each I was killed something like a sound"reberb" (can´t explain better) was stronger and stronger. I was using chrome.
Cool gameplay, Great job!

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
10/10 awesome game!
loved the theme and the execution. The set up was really fun as well as funny
