I wanted to do more with the sounds but simply ran out of time/energy. This was my first LD, and it was fun, certainly wont be my last (unless of course there isn't another one :)
Game Synopsis:
The daily grind of a dead end job has you resenting them! THEM! The middle management. DAMN THEM! DAMN THEM TO HELL! They are the ENEMY! Oh look a Zombie attack, I'll throw some managers at them.
Use an endless supply of middle managers to fight back an endless onslaught of zombies storming your building.
Min Requirements
OSX 10.5
Win XP
Notes:
The readme has some minor bugs in it, if you find any please feel free to let me know.
MBP 13 Bug fixed via new version of Gosu (Thanks Jlnr)
The difficulty curve felt a little abrupt. One moment I was knocking single zombies off the building, when suddenly there was an entire swarm. Other than that, it was a neat little game (although I was a little sad that I couldn't take out zombies that were still walking around with a properly-timed manager).
@TheLastBanana "although I was a little sad that I couldn't take out zombies that were still walking around with a properly-timed manager" Damn it - I turned it off for some reason or other then forgot to turn it back on.
I really liked the style of the game, especially the little chat bubble in the title scene and spat out by panicked managers. Slick!
The difficulty does rack up very fast, but the lack of variety in game-play wouldn't support a longer game.

Excellent game. I loved taking about two zombies at once. Classic. I was disappointed that my manager didn't last till the very end of building. Why couldn't he take out one zombie near the top and one near the bottom? That seems like an oversight. Maybe you didn't want players arbitrarily spamming managers. That might make sense.
Thanks Spooner and J.Axon. Initaly there where two types of managers, a thin one and fat one. the fat one would plow through zombies to the bottom and the thin one only a couple of zombies. The fat got scraped cos I coded my self into a corner and it became troublesome so it got canned. I regret not adding a varity of managers, oh well, learning process I guess.

On a side note the MBP 13 bug is fixed thanks to an update from libgosu

@JDruid: Yeah the curve is abit crap. Thanks.
@Someone: Thanks
Agree about the difficulty curve and that managers should splat when they hit the pavement.
