Controls could use a bit of work

Too many buttons to take care of imho. Makes for a confusing/awkward play experiene imho.
Inventory should, maybe, be driven by the number keys.

Weapon range/hit detection is a bit too small, for some ennemies i can see a hit but it doesnt register.

Its annoying that some weapons have no effect watsoever on some ennemies, like katana on vampires doesnt even make them flinch. They just keep on doing their thing as if we were blowing air at them.

When we lose i cant seem to -not- choose to buy lives.

I just stop playing at that point. Good potential, good stuff in your game but im not finding it fun to play.

Good game but...

There were some glitches one that i found most annoying was when my game would not let me continue after i cleared all the zombies at vinyl fantasy, so i didnt get to see much of the game.

nice

but too short and it's too easy once you have all bought, and it's easy too all bought.

PS: how get avenger achievement?

would rate higher

but once i reached sebastian the boss nothing i did done any damage and use cross bow, all attacks.. great potential but sort out bugs.

Great Idea, Great Art, Flawed Product.

I like this game, or at least I want to. The art/graphics are well done, the music is up to par, and the concept behind the game is well fleshed out. My main problem with this game is the godaweful controls. I dont know if its just me, but the kind of delay (disregarding the altogether sluggish cadence of the fighting) you get in your attacks is unforgivable in what amounts to a hack'n slash game. Also, when I died, that was it. I tried to reload the level, and all I got was my corpse sitting at the start of the level. I dont know if anyone else had that problem, but its not the sort of thing you can just let slide. Overall, this game is admirable, if only because of the obvious amount of TLC that went into its creation. However, Im sorry to say, I can not give this game anything better than a 6, mostly due to aforementioned flaws, which are, sadly, crippling to a potentially great game.
