Was in a rush when I uploaded this, here are some things I forgot to say:
- the credits are in the ARMOR TYPE in game
- I forgot to add in player leaving & removal, will add in today as well
- AI may be added
- leaks are being worked upon
That's pretty much it. If anyone is confused by the Jack-Shepherd & Belgarath - my Battle net account is Jack-Shepherd, it's what I always go by.

EDIT: updated with some fixes

A fun little mini-game.
It was quite frantic and involved a lot of running about.
At first I couldnt see my tauren, you should put them closer to the middle.
Also, you should consider lowering the player limit, as with a lot of people, this map becomes far too easy.
A faster movement speed and human spawn/remove rate would probably make gameplay more enjoyable and fast paced.

Whack a Human! is a simple yet interesting mini game. Your goal is to "whack" humans that pop on the map with your ability. You basically need to get close to them before they dissappear and kill them.

First of all you lack a quest log. You should put credits and how to play there. You should remove the camera rotation aswell, since it makes parts of the map invisible at times. The tauren should be a hero, and should contain abilities, such as haste etc. to make the game more interesting. The game also lacks some game modes to make it even more interesting and replayable. The packaging lacks images, more info and tags. When I use whack the human dies, however the spell animation shows up a second later, making it look quite strange, you should do something about that delay.

Overall, I see you are willing to improve thus Approved with a 2/5 (Lacking) rating. However I hope you do improve all that was mentioned.

When I get the motivation to work on this, I am gonna improve it, FYI it's meant to be rather simple.

Also, how to play is a little obvious, the credits are in the unit's armor type. >_<

But, it seems like common sense "tips, credits, and other info go in quest log."

Anyways, I played it. Its okay. I can't really tell you what to do better other than lower the number of players.
