### 5/5 — 楽しいけど広告が多いい

*2026-05-08*

楽しいし頭を使うゲームだけど1ステージクリアごとに広告が出て来て毎回大変な思いをしていますなので広告が少なくなればとってもいいゲームだと思います

### 5/5 — 単純で楽しい

*2025-05-02*

単純で楽しいが、
私のプレイ操作は下手だった。

### 3/5 — 人間途中で止まるな

*2025-03-21*

人間が通路の途中で止まります。その間にAIが来てゾンビの大多数が人間に戻されるorプレイヤーがやられてまた1から。これやられると気が狂いそうになる。どうにかしてください。

### 5/5 — One thing to add

*2025-01-11, version 1.8.9*

### 1/5 — 色々とストレス

*2024-06-01*

ゲーム自体も、欠陥があって呆気なく終わったり

するステージがあったり、判定がステージによっ

てコロコロ変わったり。しかもそこまでゲームが

面白くない。

加えて、とても操作がしにくい。操作する場所に

ボタンがあったり、斜め上からの視点で自分がど

こにいるかも分かりにくい、そして謎にステージ

の初めに毎回毎回ズームされるためわざわざこち

らがズームアウトしなくてはならない。

唯一いいところを挙げるとしたら、普通のゲーム

よりはほんの少し広告が少ないところだろうか。

### 5/5 — So hard but I win

*2024-04-21, version 1.8.9*
