### 5/5 — Still Amazing

*2026-02-15, version 1.5*

Can’t believe this app is still going strong. I keep coming back to it because it’s far superior to many other games out there. Would be great if it could be upgraded to full screen, but I’ll keep playing it regardless!

### 5/5 — A great zombie game

*2025-11-12, version 1.5*

It was absolutely worth the price. It has a great story mode with a great story. The level design is brilliant and the old graphics add a very eerie tone that makes this game scarier than most zombie games on the App Store nowadays. There is a lot of weapons and power ups that offer help in the hard levels. There is a lot of zombie types that add a lot of variety to the game.
The endless mode is also very fun.

### 5/5 — Please consider rolling out a new one

*2025-11-02, version 1.5*

Been playing this game for years now - still one of my fav. Really hope you guys make a new one

### 5/5 — Amazing vintage zombie game

*2025-10-27, version 1.5*

Been playing this since the 3GS period, and is still going strong with such a simple game.

### 5/5 — Nostalgia and Perfection

*2025-09-11, version 1.5*

I have such incredible memories of this game. This is iconic!

### 5/5 — Charming to play in 2025

*2025-07-04, version 1.5*

I remember playing this game so many years ago as a kid. Even as an adult now, it’s still actually kinda scary. The fact that you can’t move and have so many zombies closing in on you is a pretty anxiety inducing set up. The graphics being so low res makes it feel unsettling too, there’s something weirdly creepy about seeing distorted faces approaching you. Every game in 2025 feels like it’s meant to be overly flashy and attention grabbing so that you spend money on it; this game is a refreshing look into the past when games focused more on actually being scary, and they weren’t trying to milk you out of every dollar you can give. It’s worth spending the 99 cents to play this just for the vibes

### 5/5 — All time favourite

*2024-11-30, version 1.5*

This game is always my go-to on flights and long car rides. It has a great story and is still pretty challenging, even after playing it all these years. I hope this makes a come back and gains the recognition it has always deserved. Best zombie game in the app store, by far!

### 5/5 — Love this throw back game 🤩

*2024-11-24, version 1.5*

I remember playing this when I was a kid, now I’m beating it and it’s really cool to know the rest of the story I never got to see! I think may be almost through the story, I wish I could play the second one two.

### 5/5 — 2024 and i still play this!!!!

*2024-05-15, version 1.5*

One of my favorite iOS games ever!!! With a really good storyline too. Still… after about 15 years this game holds up extremely well. No ads no micro transactions… just gaming.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2024-03-14, version 1.5*

Not sure if they changed but when I used to play on the iPad you used to be able to move around I don’t like wing stuck in one place
