Вроде нормально но нету лута веревки очень это бесит так вроде норм

### 2/5 — Good idea.

*2025-07-16, version 1.2.3*

To many ad related stuff.

### 2/5 — 進めない

*2025-06-29, version 1.2.3*

途中からロープが必要になるけど入手できるエリアがかなり先のレベルなのでしばらくはひたすら採取してレベル上げしないといけない。
それまで単調な作業我慢できる人いる？

### 2/5 — Gameplay issue

*2025-05-22, version 1.2.3*

Cant get rope before tanning rack, unable to continue game

### 1/5 — Гра не готова,багато багів

*2025-05-18, version 1.2.3*

Кнопка “restore purchase» не працює
Щоб отримати канат - потрібен станок, який виготовляється з канату - супер логічне рішення. Коли в мене в руках зламаний предмет і я на його місце ставлю цілий - цілий просто зникає. За ігрову валюту 2$ можна  автоматично фармити домашню базу, яка нічого не дає, просто знімає 2$

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-05-15, version 1.2.3*

If you die early and don’t know what to do in early, you gonna trap. So it’s not for newbie

### 1/5 — Missed opportunity

*2025-05-14, version 1.2.3*

Looks good but unfortunately nothing is explained. Quest says craft a spear but level 4 is required. Couldn’t do anything so ended the day as this seemed to be the only option available. An enemy spawned but attacking with the provided baseball bat does nothing so died. Then your respawn without it. Save yourself time and find a better game.

### 1/5 — Не тратьте время.

*2025-05-14, version 1.2.3*

На каком то этапе, в самом начале, вы столкнетесь с проблемой которую ничем не решить.

### 4/5 — Hh

*2025-05-08*

This game is pretty but I won to play with my friend and thank you

### 3/5 — เชือกหายังไง

*2025-05-06, version 1.2.3*

เกมดูน่าเล่นแต่น่าเบื่อเหมือนกัน

### 1/5 — Ad Simulator

*2025-04-30*

You can’t progress out of the “tutorial” (if you can call it that) without paying money or watching ads. If you refuse to do those you’ll be stuck on a deathloop since you cant reach the level needed to craft the first weapon. Deaths reset days but not your base/item durability so if you fail rip you again

### 1/5 — Copy

*2025-04-30, version 1.2.3*

Stolen art, names and images from last day on earth

### 2/5 — 初動が最低

*2025-04-25, version 1.2.3*

まず始めると10日間生存することが必須になり、そのためには日毎のゾンビウェーブを乗り越える必要がある。
が、物資採集が10日以降まで出来ないため、初めに持ってるバット以外武器がない。
ウェーブ報酬でクラフトしようにもレベルが足りず、槍を作れるようになっても槍ではウェーブクリアする為には広告を見ないと入手できなかった回復が必要とアンバランス

なので最低でも近接武器をくれるnpcから2回広告を見る所からこのゲームが始まる

以降のゲーム性は概ねldoe。
ほぼそのままldoe。ロケーションもクラフト素材も性能もガチャの感じもldoe。

2dなのでldoe系とは少し違った新鮮味もあり、ファームは比較的楽だが、
何かと要求してくる広告周りが強気な事、移動や攻撃の快適さがない事、課金しようが稀に入る強制広告を回避出来ない事、続けたく無くなる要素が上回ってくる

残念…広告の振り方を緩和するだけでも良くなるだろうに

### 1/5 — Я не понимаю

*2025-04-22, version 1.2.3*

Что за бред что мне делать когда я умер весь лут теряется и невозможно играть дальше у тебя один конец тебя просто убивают зомби и дальше ты пройти не можешь а если захочешь посмотреть рекламу что бы залутать оружие то игра это просто игнорирует прямым текстом тебе говоря что нет сиди на одном и том же месте

### 1/5 — Rope

*2025-04-21, version 1.2.3*

How to get rope? At 10 lvl u can made it, but you must get 15 - ???

### 1/5 — Отвратительно

*2025-04-19, version 1.2.3*

Максимально сломанная игра, которая прямым текстом намекает без доната тут делать нечего.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-04-17, version 1.2.3*

Quite possibly the worse game ever made

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Do I need to explain?

*2026-03-02*

To start, when I first opened the app literally no UI would work so I had to close off the app and re-open. — once I finally got it working, I was being prompted to go inside a cabin in which was impossible as the only prompt possible was the ladder. — I’d also like to add that every model was stolen from Dead Ahead. — Just don’t waste your time on a cash grab like this. — if you’d like ACTUALLY fun games then try: “Dead Ahead” OR “They are Coming”.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-02-05*

Won’t even let me pick things up or go up the latter of the bunker can’t even play the damn game wish I could give it 0 ratings

### 1/5 — The rating is probably botted

*2025-10-10*

First of all I want to mention that there is no way that so many people rated this game 5 star, they most definitely paid for bot reviews. Secondly just don’t get this game, it’s a waste of time. The models for characters are obviously attempting to rip off dead ahead and last day on earth survival, play those games instead. The gameplay is also soft locking unless you watch ads or spend money. Overall low effort cash grab ripoff.

### 1/5 — Не працює

*2025-07-03, version 1.2.3*

Гра взагалі не запускається

### 1/5 — Slabo

*2025-06-13, version 1.2.3*

Grafika i postacie ukradzione z innej znanej gry na telefon. Przyciski sterowania nie chwytają poprawnie i nie mozna olynnie grac.

### 1/5 — This game suck

*2025-06-07, version 1.2.3*

The game is just created to make u watch ads as much as possible the charcoal recipe for plank is 1 plank for 2 charcoal but it only give me one and the leveling system suck not to mention to joystick is so damn small I die cuz of I miss click the damn joystick and my character can’t move “ at least make the joystick like bigger or make it move to where the player touch” not to mention the lack of resources like I can’t get rope from anywhere only from the end day rewards and u only get from 0-2 rope at best ._.)

### 1/5 — horrible game

*2025-05-22*

the start puts you in a situation where you have little heals, no armor, barely any materials, weak defense and once your weapon breaks you have to use fists until you can craft a spear but you don't learn it until way later so you pretty much just keep dying until you buy something with real money or watch ads for weapons, not to mention the game forces you to watch ads as-well and cant be played offline, horrible game

### 1/5 — …

*2025-05-22*

Dead ahead pixel art mixed with Last Day on Earth, side scroller…

### 1/5 — Horrible Instructions, soft-lock prone gameplay

*2025-05-22*

This game looked incredibly fun until the second I started playing it, at which point it immediately became a waste of time. The UI is very poorly designed, and the mechanics of the game not explained whatsoever. Some are intuitive, like killing zombies, some are the farthest from it, like collecting rewards after each wave only to realize you didn’t ACTUALLY collect them, you have to pick them up from a separate inbox. My weapon broke almost immediately, causing me to die and lose all the gear which was entirely necessary to progress any further in the game. Will not be playing again

### 1/5 — Gra

*2025-05-21, version 1.2.3*

stupid game, there is no way to defend yourself without a weapon, few answers and after death you lose everything

### 5/5 — No blood

*2025-09-03*

I really wish there was blood 🩸💉🩸🩸🩸

### 5/5 — Possible de l’avoir en français

*2025-06-19, version 1.2.3*

Mettez le français

### 5/5 — Epic game!

*2025-06-01, version 1.2.3*

Love it

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2025-04-10, version 1.2.3*

Le jeu est hyper bien mais il manque une sauvegarde dans le cas où  nous perdons les données ou notre téléphone.

### 5/5 — Топ

*2025-02-10, version 1.2.1*

Наконец-то дождался от этой студии топ игру на выживалку. Игра топ

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-02-07, version 1.2.1*

Concept is good, inspired by an other game but have some potential, problem, I had a lot of bugs and can’t continue to play, first download I couldn’t leave the base even with day 10 valid and the second time each time I killed a zombie in the pine forest there was the next day animation and I couldn’t be able to quit the pine forest. Keep working and I will download it again without a doubt

### 5/5 — Найс

*2025-01-18, version 1.2*

Игра чиловая, отличная. 
Простая система крафта и развития, все круто 
Единственное, не включается реклама, чтобы получить дополнительные плюшки 
А так отлично!

### 5/5 — Отзыв

*2025-01-18, version 1.2*

Хотелось бы перевод на санскрите;)

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2025-01-16, version 1.2*

It’s really relaxing, nice music, chilly gameplay, maybe a little more content would be cool, waiting for it

### 5/5 — The last day but in 2D

*2025-01-16, version 1.2*

Some mechanics were taken from the game “Last day on the earth”, but I think the game is pretty good, but I'm really annoyed by the mechanics of the battle in this game, please make the attack button activate by pressing and not by pinching
