I really love the mechanic of grabbing and throwing your 'friend?' / Nothing at enemies. :) I couldn't seem to hurt enemies by punching them directly?

Eventually I get pretty overwhelmed and can't beat up my punch-friend enough to kill enough enemies.

Cool idea.

Well it was fun actually I liked punching and throwing the guy, I destroyed all those gates and all the zombies but nothing else happened. The theme was weak just calling a guy nothing. I like the punching sound and how every item was destructable. Good job.

This is really fun, to bad you can't go gameover and have a score or a survival time to see if you can improve :)

Just like @hellper here, I have encountered the same problem! I was looking forward to giving this game a crack hahaha.

Hi everyone!
Thanks to all of those who have already played, we really appreciate your feedbacks! (And of course, we wish we had more time to add a proper "GameOver" screen and many more levels and features)

For those who are having the issue with the vcruntime140_1.dll, we are really sorry and we are trying to find a solution... For now, one solution we can suggest is to install the new Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2019 x64 for your Windows. You might think this is boring for our small game (and you are right), but in some times a lot of newer games will want you to have it too :)

Bizarre concept but actually pretty fun! The basic interaction of punching & throwing feel pretty good to do, although the hitbox for right clicking to pick up felt a little finicky. (Did you have to click on him directly? Not sure if that sort of mouse controls makes sense, or if it would be better to just have a button to pick him up if you're close enough to him.) Would be cool to have some more difficulty progression or different levels. Nice work!

I had the VCRUNTIME140_1.dll issue, which is unfortunate since the game looked fun.

It's a fun little game. A very unique take on the theme. An instructions menu would've helped, such as to explain that you cant kill zombies except with throwing nothing.
