Personal Note: So.. this is my 7th Entry on the Ludum Dare competition :3 I had fun!!! this time i didn't use old code (to copy paste xD) because i need to practice my skills but that lead me to a not very good game :S. As far as a progress on my skills i can say that my drawings are getting good as well as my coding logic. Also i was live-streaming for the first time but of course nobody was watching but that's okey n_n i didn't talk, i only played this awesome music that i found this week! Anyways, i had fun :D Ludum Dare is awesome!!! I hope you guys had fun! Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to all :3
Funny idea! At first I was like, what this is dumb. Then I realized you could line up the zombies and kill them all with one throw if you're good and then I was like daaaamn. So in the end I liked it! You have some small typos in the text :)
Simple game but with some great features which make it deeper that classical of games. Nice work (even if it was really boring to install everything for just a jam game... next time try to fix that! :) )
I would suggest making the game error out (with a message!) in the absence of the XNA framework. You might miss out on feedback for those that can't play it.

I used to be a loyal XNAer until I began work with Unity, and honestly, multiplatform + web player make it king. Might be worth considering if you're OK with a slight learning curve. That way everyone can play your game, AND with minimal effort ;) Anyway, I did think this game was quite fun. Good job :)
I had to get XNA and then it worked. It's a good concept and I like that monsters slow you down, but they slow you a bit too much which makes it frustrating. More content would make a really good game.
You might consider making it easier for people to play your game. Like providing a web player or some simple download-doubleclick-and-play exe ;) Was no problem for me. But might be for many others.
All in all I like the game :) cool idea
btw, this is no real bug. but you might not have noticed, that moving diagonal is faster than vertical or horizontal movement ;)
SPOILER: The last level is it really intended to end the game once you lose the ball? :)
Nice take on the theme. Hitting a lot of monsters in one shot is really satisfying. I would have liked to know how much health I had left but that didn't matter too much because restarting levels was so quick.
although using a left handed mouse is a bit broken in XNA (I had to use the other mouse button) I had surpsrisingly good fun with this game. I thought the elements were just right. A bit of tactic to hit as many enemies with one throw, but also a bit of randomness because aiming isn't perfect, so it becomes a bit hectic. The monsters were nice. If I would wish for anything it would be some more soundeffects (real gory ones, please).
awsome game, funny concept and good method of making it into a game. Loved the sillyness, and the music was pretty good too. I had a ball... (sorry bad pun) XD
Great game.. A time ago I made a similar game but it was a FPS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7fK8A0Agak , but yours is more arena type of game. I really liked, I liked the idea of losing if the ball is out of the map. Congrats.

* You need XNA 4.0 : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914
* And also you need .NET Framework 4.0 : http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=17718
