Using input.viewRay isn't the best way to resolve bullet/zombie collisions since that ray is only 64 units long (ie. 2 grid cells at their current size) zombies that are farther away don't get hurt by bullets that should hurt them.

It might be better to loop through all the bullets for each zombie and check if bullet.mesh.distanceTo(game.zombie.mesh) is below a certain distance threshold and if so, mark the bullet as dead and remove it, and injure the zombie. (see game.js:215 as an example)

It can be a little tough to be accurate when shooting without a crosshair on the screen... it should be fairly easy to draw one.

Since bullets are a limited commodity now, it would be better to just have the user right click or type 'F' or something to open/close doors instead of shooting them.

The small gun should not auto fire when left mouse is held down, it would be better if the gun had a relatively small clip (maybe 6 bullets) and each click used one bullet. There would have to be a reload button also

Right now the only thing that happens when the player or a zombie gets hurt is that their health gets reduced.

It would be better if there was also a visual (and perhaps audible) indication as well. For the player, we could create a new full window 2d canvas and draw a red rectangle covering the whole screen. When the player registers damage this can be tweened from fully opaque to fully transparent over some short span of time.

It should be possible to alter the color of the zombie's material in a similar way when they get injured.

Audio would add greatly to the game's atmosphere.
