### 4/5 — Good game

*2021-03-18, version 1.0.4*

If I want to rate it 5, add perks like special permanent upgrades and better systems.

### 2/5 — 拆解後負重問題

*2018-09-18, version 1.0.4*

為什麼50%負重的物品在拆解後變成負重115%

而且沒倉庫可存放..這樣沒辦法儲零件升級。

### 4/5 — 还不错

*2018-07-07, version 1.0.4*

希望可以改一改拆解的部分，和刚开始开背包闪退的问题就更好了

### 4/5 — Game many crash

*2018-04-17, version 1.0.4*

Your game have fun
But many crash many time
Start new game  Crash
I die and continue Crash
Walk in house Crash

Fix and update please

### 3/5 — แอพเด้งบ่อยมาก

*2018-04-11, version 1.0.4*

อยากให้ปรับปรุงแอพเด้ง

### 2/5 — 大bug

*2018-04-04, version 1.0.4*

長長玩到ㄧ半退出後，就進不去了，按了超久進去後發現積分沒了打到的裝備也全沒了，等於重玩。

### 1/5 — Broken game

*2018-03-17, version 1.02*

I have this game on 2 different devices iPhone 6, and iPhone SE and on both phone it crashes the second I tap survival mode. The game itself is really fun and addictive other than that. If you fix it I can give a 5 star rating for sure

### 4/5 — It has potential

*2018-03-04, version 1.0.0*

Pros:
Fun post apocalyptic atmosphere, good pixel art, satisfying feeling killing zombies, good loot. Large map. Lastly, it has some depth because you can enter buildings, upgrade items, and ...???

Cons:
Now crashes on startup, can't start a new game immediately because of dreaded freemium timers. Forced to pay money for additional characters (I don't mind actually because developers have to eat), but just make it a premium game. 

Summary: let me pay premium price for a premium experience. It's the kind of survival game I've been looking for.

### 4/5 — 剛剛下載

*2018-02-27, version 1.0.0*

拆解物品離線時間不會繼續，遊戲中也只能等無法離開⋯⋯再來就是有沒有回血的機制？

### 1/5 — Extremely buggy

*2018-02-26, version 1.0.0*

Just do yourself a favour and buy a tin of paint and pour it on the floor as watching that dry would be less painful than trying to play this garbage. Couldn't even open my inventory without it crashing the app to my home screen and the game itself is boring as hell.
