### 3/5 — Killer

*2018-06-14, version 1.0.4*

Good time killer

### 5/5 — Brilliant zombie game

*2015-10-20, version 1.0.3*

As a big fan of the walking dead, this game caught my eye. It captures the desperation and feeling of being overwhelmed by zombies very well. You also get some some cool weapons the longer you last!

### 5/5 — Great little zombie time killer

*2015-10-14, version 1.0.3*

Perfect way to kill a zombies - and time. Whilst waiting for the bus etc.

### 1/5 — The falling dead

*2015-01-20, version 1.0.0*

Absolute rubbish can't even download getting fed up now refund if you please

### 5/5 — Zombie

*2015-01-16, version 1.0.0*

Fab fast fun. Great game great sound affects

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2014-12-24*

I'm a huge zombie fan and this game is full of challenge and fun. It can get quite tough when you have so many different types of zombies coming at you endlessly. I wish there were a bit more pickups since using the knife can be tough but it's fun either way. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Great killing game

*2014-12-22*

Very fun to shoot and Stab zombies. Very easy to play and very addictive. Before I knew it I had been playing for an hour. Great graphics and lots of fun.

### 4/5 — Rarely has so much been done with so little.

*2014-12-21*

I was expecting a store, experience, & level ups, and talent trees, but instead got exactly what it said on the tin: kill zombies. Die. Kill 'em again.

Lovin' it.

I originally gave this a 5, but one aspect has continued to grind on me: the powerups slowing the counter for more powerups.

The game discourages you from using them sparingly & wisely by freezing the counter for the next powerup until you completely use up the previous powerup. However, the level of difficulty & number of zombies continues to rise regardless. I have to choose between using powerups wisely and getting overwhelmed, or wasting them as fast as possible and being less efficient, which is especially challenging because the powerups just end up cycling back to the first (a low-range baseball bat) and you never last long after That.

Let the timer run all the way through. Incentivize smart play. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Cool game

*2014-12-20*

It's a tough one but it looks great and has a lot of cute zombie characters. It can get tough with a knife since you have so few bullets. I do wish they dropped more often but it's not too bad and adds to the challenge. A great game for any zombie fan.

### 3/5 — Gets old quick

*2014-12-19*

I like the graphics and the zombies and alternating between the gun, butcher knife, and baseball bat (my favorite). Even the sounds are great- but with the continuous unfaltering gameplay I found it became old and tedious very quickly. Not worth the time I'm sad to say.
