  Apart from the resolution problem (Wasn't working until I zoomed in as was already mentioned), the game gets quite repetitive fast. Also, I've discovered a bug where if you press mouse 2 you can just stop running which makes the game a lot easier since you don't run towards the enemies.

  Also, was it intended to run out of ammo after the 5 minutes?

  And sometimes the zombies would bug out and go through cars and etc., weapons have short range so the player can see when they disappear in mid-air (maybe that was intended) and sometimes zombies stop coming after you unless you go in their direction.

  Aside from that, the game was fun to play for the 5 minutes, to kill some boredom.

  Screen Resolution: 1920x1080

  I got around 300+ kills, I did that just by standing at the corner of the map and waited for them. Since they move slow, the turn rate was good enough not to be killed no matter how many spawned.

  2 things for improvement:

  - Demand more mechanical skill from players: Scale spawn and movement speed higher every 30 seconds, as timer nears 0. Make bullets finite. You could also implement day/night cycle + fog of war.

  - Addressing repetitiveness: Shorten to 2-3 minutes. Unless I missed something, give the game an objective other than accuracy and score (find and collect X pieces to win or capture the flag, etc)

  Other than that, great job!

  It's bugging on my screen resolution, I don't know why. Had to zoom to 110% in order to see the title screen.

  I can't press the Like button, nor respawn. Good job nonetheless!!
