Otherwise 10/10. ### 5/5 — Sencillo y bello *2023-03-02* Su mecánica minimalista y oscura crea una atmósfera de survival horror propias de Resident Evil y Silent Hill. Además, gráfica y sonoramente es bello y envolvente. ### 5/5 — I like the game! *2023-03-01, version 1.2.4* Super smooth, very few ads. ### 5/5 — Thank you so much *2023-02-27, version 1.2.4* This is one of the best 1-but games I’ve ever played. Being on a mobile experience is amazing and the creativity is just unexplainable. But overall I just think it’s a great game and I’ve recommended it to friends ### 5/5 — amazing game *2023-02-16, version 1.2.4* needs more recognition such a cool game ### 5/5 — Good game. *2023-02-12, version 1.2.3* I like the cat ### 5/5 — Good *2023-02-11, version 1.2.3* When I saw this game it convinced me to play it. ### 5/5 — Minimalismus *2023-02-10* Großartiges, minimalistisches Spiel, das man immer wieder für eine Runde öffnet, um etwas weiterzukommen. ### 5/5 — Огонь🔥 *2023-02-08* Отличная игра, 5 заезд! Сделайте русский язык пожалуйста🥺 ### 5/5 — Death Road to Canada meets 1-Bit Rogue *2023-02-05* Found this through TouchArcade's game of the week and I'm glad I gave this one a try. It's very good. Super simple controls and a very old-school lovely aesthetic. Also the sound effects have a really nice crunch to them like the old Doom games. Highly recommended. And if you like the game , buy the person who made this a coffee! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible and unfair game *2023-12-17, version 1.2.4* You can never beat this game you lose on week 3 and you lose on day 28 ### 1/5 — Rage game *2023-05-29, version 1.2.4* This game made me nearly break my window why because this game doesn’t give you want you want when you on day 28 and you a low health the game will just give you ammunition not a Medkit and then you die and this can even happen on other weeks this game is a rage game ### 2/5 — Add controller support!! *2024-11-24, version 1.2.4* Please add controller support. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2023-02-12, version 1.2.3* Had quite a few bugs and freezing. This absolutely shreds simple retro games from surviving. Better get it fixed ### 4/5 — Perfeito *2023-04-19* Jogo incrível e bem criativo, e ainda por cima é de graça, e off-line ainda, sem anúncios obrigatórios, apenas se você quiser reviver. Simplesmente excelente, os desenvolvedores estão de parabéns, espero mais jogos como este. ### 4/5 — One small issue *2023-02-22, version 1.2.4* As someone who deeply enjoys rogue-likes, this one has the unfortunate issue of luck being a major deciding factor between win and loss. If a level has too many foes, and not enough ammo drops, you can get cornered quite easily and your run simply ends without being able to avoid such a fate. Even saving ammo by not blasting a singular undead and avoiding them long enough to grab gas and leave can do nothing against five who have caught your scent. Despite this, the art style, music and sfx, and simple yet engaging gameplay make it an enjoyable experience nonetheless. ### 4/5 — Very solid concept with minor issues *2023-02-22, version 1.2.4* First of all, compliments to whoever directed the art style, because it fits the game extremely well and is what brought me into getting the game in the first place. I have not played that much yet but the little intro before survivor is breathtakingly good. The gameplay loop is amazing, the sound design fresh and unique. Of course, if it was perfect I would have given it four stars. The gameplay currently is a little lacking with only three characters, simple enemies, and is lacking in the power up department. On the topic of power ups, The power up drop system contains my least favorite part of the game: RNG. I feel like my runs just boil down to: “if I don’t get lucky and get a health pack, I die here.” Which does fit the aesthetic for the game, but during the gameplay it’s frustrating to get a health pack when you don’t need it, Or ammo when your ammo is already full. I don’t think removing the is the right solution, as the RNG helps add more difficulty to the game, so here’s my suggestion: a single inventory slot. You can carry a health pack or ammo pack if you find one, and swap it out whenever as well. You can use it at any time, but the draw back is that it takes a single turn to use so you can’t use it mid fight, and if you are hit while using the healthpack/ammo kit, it gets cancelled (and the item doesn’t get consumed). So in summary very good game with great art, sound design, and game CONCEPT, just lacking a little in certain areas. I am still having a blast with this game and can’t wait to see where it goes! ### 4/5 — The game is perfect, apart from what I explain *2023-02-20, version 1.2.4* I think that the game overall is underrated and great, but the only issue to discuss is the difficulty with defeating zombies. If you have to melee them, it’s impossible not to receive 1-2 damage and I have troubles with that. I have always died from the basic zombies ### 4/5 — A great game! Just a few suggestions. *2023-02-15, version 1.2.4* I’m not really the type of person to leave a review, but with this game I can see myself playing this game a lot and there is some potential in this one. I’ve enjoyed this gameplay loop and the pixelated visuals. But I was a bit confused about how to unlock the other characters. Additionally, I feel that the sense of character progression is currently missing. I would suggest that maybe after completing that set of weeks, you could give the option to progress further or return to some kind of safe point to get your equipment/level in order before re-entering the apocalypse. Besides that, I would like to see this game expanded upon in the near future. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Incredible design *2026-01-25, version 1.2.4* If you’re interested in game design I would play this game just to study it. It’s simple to interact with but has remarkable depth under the surface ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-08-07, version 1.2.4* Game is strategic and fun, and it has great resource management elements. ### 5/5 — Skip button *2025-02-05, version 1.2.4* My only complaint is the skip button,it’s to close to the move right button I keep accidentally clicking it! ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2025-01-06* Great atmosphere, sound design, story. Good game balance, love to always be on the edge. Thank you for your work🫶 ### 5/5 — Very good game (and cute cat!) *2024-06-20, version 1.2.4* I actually met the developer of this game, and was just talking when he told me that he had been trying to get good at making video games as a side job. I took a look at this game, and to be honest, I didn’t expect the level of creativity in such a simple mobile game. Each level is practically its own puzzle as you work to get the fuel and get back to your vehicle, avoiding or killing enemies alike. No matter how much you die, you always learn at least a little bit more. I highly recommend this game in regards to the retro feel and strategy part of it. ### 5/5 — Bit(e) sized fun *2024-03-16, version 1.2.4* I really dig on the small level concept and the puzzle like movement system. The survival aspect feels on point with drops happening almost as you need them, but not always what you need which mimics a more realistic approach to what may or may not be available in a post apocalyptic setting. ### 5/5 — Cool Concept *2024-01-06, version 1.2.4* This is a fun pick up & play game and I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit since I downloaded. It be fun to see a full on story mode but as it is I”m recommending to my friends. ### 5/5 — Very fun experience *2024-01-04, version 1.2.4* Great Game ### 5/5 — A Breath Of Fresh Air *2023-10-24, version 1.2.4* Such an addictive and simple game, perfectly encapsulates the vibe of a retro game. Hella bonus points for no pop up ads, you have no idea how awesome that is for the players. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-05-13, version 1.2.4* I followed your videos on how made this game and I am very impressed, just unlocked and won with all the classes, the artwork, gameplay, animation, and story are all amazing, thanks for making such a fun game keep it up👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
