Added in some particle effects and a small melee attack, making this game complete! It could probably use a few more levels, but that won’t happen inside a two-day window. Anyway, here is the OS X app, and a larger package with source and the Ruby all-in-one installer for Windows. For you Linux dudes, I added some small comments on how to get Ruby+Gosu going (nothing tricky or even hard). Just check the README for instructions and info. Enjoy!

Good job. The globe photo and intro maps were clearly not made by you during the 48 hour period (wait, don't tell me they were), but I guess it's ok since they're not gameplay visuals. The game itself is kind of easy, but not bad I guess. In-game visuals are nice.
Too hard! x_x Would have been more rewarding with more predictable close combat, or refillable donuts. But the execution is pretty strong, except the trees everything looks very polish.
Doesn't work in linux. First it complained about not being able to include "rubygems", whatever that is (I do have both ruby and gosu installed). Commented that out, now it can't find images/Black.png, which is no wonder since it doesn't exist. There's a file called black.png, but Linux is case sensitive. Renamed the file, got errors about another. Don't feel like going through all of that right now, so I'll pass on this for now. Might try it in Windows later.
Could not find a windows download (both links lead to the same OSX file?)
It crashed but looked and sounded good, amazing generation of artwork for the intro ;0)

Not sure how to win - it didn't seem like the donuts had a lot of effect. Needs some difficulty tweaking. Otherwise, cool.
I love the intro and the wall o' zombies. Wish there was a way to get more donuts somehow... unless I'm missing something?
Had to change the controls to play (Dvorak keyboard and a single mouse button) but nice little game. Needed better AI on the zombies as there is at least one place you can run at the beginning that will prevent the zombies getting to you.

Pretty easy, I'm mostly running in circles until they all explode.
Looks very polished.
PsySal
Cute! I like that he has two attacks, I overdid it with donuts at the start since I didn't understand they were limited. Main problem I think is it sort of drags on with the little guy running around the screen being chased by the flock of zombies. Soundtrack, intro are awesome!
Very polished and reasonably fun to play. I wish there was more content.

Very nice intro and nice graphics. Seemed rather easy but quite fun. There's a bug where you can throw a doughnut off screen and it will draw zombies towards it but not disappear.
