*2023-07-31, version 1.5*

Played this a while back. And i mean when it dropped… my brothers and i shared an Ipod at the time. We found it cus we weren’t allowed to play COD. So we played secretly on the ipod. Man… to be back in those times..

### 5/5 — One of my fav games

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-01-11, version 1.5*

I always come back to this game every couple years and I remember playing this when it was first released back when I was in high school, great story and the gameplay is so nostalgic, I love that you guys keep it updated so it works on newer versions, this is one of the only games that I played back in the day that kept software up to date and I can still play, thanks!

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2022-06-03, version 1.5*

Still one of my favorites. It’s crazy this game doesn’t get more recognition. I get addicted every few years then play through the whole story in a night

### 5/5 — Cool

*2022-04-15, version 1.5*

Good but I want ny zombies 2 back on apple

### 5/5 — Complaints about this game

*2022-01-17, version 1.5*

I noticed many people are not happy how you can’t move and the graphics. To be honest, I thought that’s what made the game unique. Being stuck in one spot while zombies approach you, plus with the soundtrack, makes it more tense and creepy. It also gives a bit of a challenge. Now the graphics could’ve done better, but it was 2010 when it released and graphics weren’t super amazing and the standards were not as high as they are today, but for me at least, it gives a nostalgic feeling. This was just my opinion on the complaints people had and overall I thought this game was amazing, fun, and like no usual zombie shooter.

### 5/5 — Well I buy it in App Store

*2022-01-11, version 1.5*

I don’t understand why play store remove N
Y ZOMBIE 1 ? But it still a great story and good games too

### 5/5 — Update desired

*2022-01-06*

I love this game.I'm still playing.
I would like to see it remain as it is because of its historical value.
Now with full screen view of iPhone and iPad
Support for 120hz.

### 5/5 — Classic

*2021-08-02, version 1.5*

Has been a favorite of mine since I got my first touch screen iPod in 2010/2011. Even though there are games with better graphics, I’ll always come back to N.Y.Z.

### 5/5 — Five Stars

*2021-03-13*

This game (believe it or not) was my childhood back when the iPod Touch released. Thank you for creating this masterpiece! Glad it still exists

### 5/5 — A Hidden Gem on The AppStore

*2020-12-11, version 1.5*

This game is legit so fun to play, I'll admit the graphics have aged quite a bit but to me graphics don't really matter. This game is worth the money!

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2020-11-14, version 1.5*

This game is amazing this is how the game is you go on a level you pick your weapons and head out when your killing zombies you haft to touch the screen. you get to fight all types of zombies. I rate this game 5 out of 5 trust me that’s how good this game is. One problem can the creators of this game can you make it where you can walk around and also can you add more blood when you bust a zombies head off. Other than that this game is very good. Buy this game now.

### 5/5 — Still one of my favorite game after 10 years

### 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

### 1/5 — Update NYZ 2

*2022-04-13, version 1.5*

Please, make it playable. This shouldn’t be the only one able to be played, the other one isn’t able to be found (without pulling off App Store glitches, and even then it won’t download). Great amazing game, will rate 5 stars easily if updated

### 1/5 — BRING BACK N.Y.Z 2

*2022-02-20, version 1.5*

I would have rated 5 stars. I love this game, I’ve been playing for YEARS. But NYZ 2 is better. For some reason there is no update to play NYZ 2 on current gen phones.
 PLEASE UPDATE NYZ 2.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Really good atmosphere

*2023-08-27*

First played 2010. In 2022 is still enjoyable.
