Flash Halloween Friday Fun: Zombie Baseball. John and Sam are the only remaining humans left on Earth due to a horrible virus gone wrong. Sam drops baseballs and you (playing John) hit them into zombies...Rinse and Repeat! The obligatory upgrades and special bats as you increase levels.

I do wish there was a way to re-try a level once you bite it (or more aptly, vice-versa). Because it's fun and pretty easy, but if you screw up it's not quite fun enough and a little too easy to make it worthwhile to go through eleven or so levels again just to see what happens next.

Crashes at the loading screen for me :(

There's a crazy loopy love affair between zombie video games and bad voice acting, and I'm happy to report that Zombie Baseball is keeping the romance going.

That said, it's cute and fun. That said, what shakespeherian said.

I immediately lost interest when I found out that I would not be using the bat to knock zombie heads over the fence.

Yeah, that is really fun.

Disappointed I can't just bat the zombies once they get close. Too much Scout in TF2 I think.

Inspired me to pull Dead Rising out.

Is there a hard version?

Finished on first try -- 1728 -- but it was really easy. Fun, though.

Man, I just beat the fuck out of that.

Ah, I see. It's all about the severed heads.

Max head combo x7, but I got eaten halfway through because I had to wait for the zombies to get close enough for a nice headshot, which leaves little room for error.

OK, that was fun. I found the boom bat and freeze bat made it too easy, though.

This is basically a driving range with monster heads.

But I only made it to the first boss with the decapitating bat. I think it would be quite a challenge to complete with it, if that's even possible.

That was fun!

The controls were somewhat frustrating, doesn't have much smoothness or subtlety. Sorta fun but...
