Ads won’t dismiss or pay out

I like this game, but the ads play and then get stuck and I have to exit the whole game. Using ads is optional but there’s always some kind of asset I need to upgrade something else and I refuse to pay a weekly or monthly subscription. Fix this!

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks a lot for your input! The ads issue might be related to VPN usage (unfortunately ad networks don’t like those). If that doesn’t fix it, could you join the Discord and open a ticket? It will be easier to troubleshoot there: https://discord.gg/nFRnkcpgau

Dear ZS

This game is 🤩 fun

Fun

Get it do it

Great Concept

Overall, I love what the developer is doing. It’s clear they are working hard and aspiring to making an interesting game. I’m glad this isn’t a bate and switch for some micro-transaction grind scam.

Things that are great

1 - simple gameplay. Maybe too simple, but I like that’s its simple
2 - multiple areas for upgrades (vehicle, weapons, turrets, buildings). Lends itself well to infinite exponential progression and pleasant grinding.
3 - no ad interruptions, or pay to play. Good for you for not scamming people. Respect.

Struggles
1. Bugs. Specifically there are several soft lock points requiring app restart. Level 4 currently stalls out. No enemies. Just banners. Just stuck playing level 4.
2. Lack of explanation and lack of gradual introduction of various resources and tokens. Clash does this better, introducing in-game resources first one-by-one, then meta-resources next.
3. Not clear how to exchange primary and secondary weapon. I unlocked the flame thrower, but couldn’t use it.
4. Extra turret on vehicle upgrade made no sense to me. It was identical, but when I played the level, there weren’t 2 turrets. Why have 2 identical turrets in the upgrade menu?
5. Balancing power of various weapons and upgrades. No matter how much I upgraded the main weapons and turrets, gameplay became dominated by in-level features. E.g. eight ball. Towards the end of level, you don’t have to play. Swords and lasers take care of the level for you.
6. Aiming mechanics are clunky and too simple. Currently, you can just leave your finger on the screen. No decisions or strategy.

It’s fine if the game is easy. The fun is in the curiosity and progression of the upgrade systems, the graphics and dopamine hit of the special attacks. However, there should be some strategy required. Leaving your finger pressed in the middle of the screen without changing position should lose.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for all your feedback! As a solo developer, it really warms my heart to hear that you’re enjoying the game and noticing the work behind it. - About Level 4: sorry about that issue. It’s been fixed in version 0.10.18 and above. - Regarding the lack of explanation: I’m still improving the onboarding experience, and your notes about friction and unclear systems are very helpful! thank you for pointing them out. For switching weapons, at the start of a level you can choose which weapon to equip (this selection screen appears once you own at least one unequipped weapon). - Extra turret: you unlock additional turrets through vehicle upgrades. If you have two turrets unlocked (for example with the flat green vehicle), there should indeed be two turrets firing during the level.If that’s not happening, it’s a bug and I’ll investigate. - Balance: you’re right, some in-game abilities are probably too powerful at the moment 😄 I’ll keep tuning the balance. - About aiming feeling clunky => could you elaborate a bit more on what feels off? I’d love to understand it better. As for aiming being too simple, that’s a fair point. The core gameplay is intentionally accessible, but siege modes and boss fights are designed to require more precise targeting and decision-making. I’ll keep working on adding more strategic depth. Thanks again for the detailed feedback as it’s extremely valuable.

Great game!

This game is exactly as advertised! There hasn't been a single forced add, and I’ve spent several hours actively playing. I played 3-4 hours straight without running out of energy. For the first chunk of the game there’s no timers on upgrading buildings. Even when the timers do start, you can easily skip them with gems because you make more than enough gems just playing the game.

Overall the game feels pretty balanced. The developers have done an outstanding job with responding to player feedback and updating accordingly.

Exactly what you’re looking for.

The game is exactly what it says it is. Not a money grab and ads are optional.

Fun

Great game

Very fun and addictive game

I really enjoyed this game ! You fight off waves of zombies with fast, satisfying combat while upgrading your base to whistand even tougher attacks. The balance between action and strategy is spot on, and every upgrades feels meaningful. Short, intense, and addictive !

Wow

The fake shooting zombie game made real

I want to like it

I want to like this game but it’s just another one of those base builders with shooting zombies as the after thought. It’s filled with ads after every single level up if you want to get strong and just overall filled with ads in general. If you hit every ad in 1 hour you can maybe get 10mins of game play.

The dev is quite responsive ok discord so I gave it two stars instead a of one.

Note to the dev: so many ads aren’t respectful of a players time. I understand you need to make a living so maybe have something reasonable like one full ad level but as it stands this is just an excuse to watch long and annoying ads.

It’s pretty good

Gameplay is simplistic which can be a bit boring but overall it’s pretty good time killer so far

Amazing game

Thanks for this game. The only problem is that I spend a little too much time on it. Continue like this!!

Wow!! Amazing zombie game!

Really cool zombie game, can’t stop playing!

Really fun game

I feel like the game is really fun and engaging. I like zombie games and that one has solid graphics, mechanics and gameplay.

Love the game, bugs are frustrating

I really enjoy this game! It’s great to play when chilling on the couch watching a show or when I have some downtime at work. The only bug I have encountered is about half the time when I die and I try to watch an ad to continue the level, it says game over when I try to continue. Sometimes I have a half second because my life starts or by the time I click out of the ad is almost back to zero. I love the ads being all optional!! It’s a big reason that I will pick this game over others to play when I have only a few minutes or a lot of time. I also choose to watch them more when I really need that second life or a bit more gas because I’m not stuck watching them against my will all the time. The graphics are pretty. Only complaint is that on my iPhone the red text that says how many cards I have out of how many I need to unlock a new weapon are impossible to read (but this is pretty minor). I hope more weapons are added in the future because I love trying different combos for different types of zombies.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your feedback! As a solo developer, this really warms my heart 😊 Regarding the red text when you don’t have enough badges, I’ll fix that in the next patch! As for the bug when reviving — don’t you see a countdown from 3 to 0 before the game resumes? I’ll change that to a “Tap to continue” button instead; I think that’ll do the trick 😉 Overall, thank you for playing my game! Note: Both issues you mentioned (die after ads, UI not lisible) should be fixed in next version 0.4.4 :)

really underrated game

literally a great game (its not these lazy code or anything its actually made by hardwork) its pretty much a casual game that u dont have to move ur fingers much but u know its a indie game which is usually made by tiny groups of people or just even one so its not that kind of a good game but it is somehow (idk what im saying but its just good afterall) also the bad reviews of it having too much ads literally ive seen absolutely 0 ads while playing the game (or maybe its just i didnt play long enough to get ads) but still i underestimated this game and thought it was just some poorly made ones but nah its a good one literally the creator had beautiful codings (could improve) and its just that this game is not that known if it is it would attract many players because i like this idea of a car going through zombies while firing.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Disappointing

“Gameplay” is underwhelming, just hold down on the screen to shoot forward and occasionally pick a new perk when you level up, not much skill nor input required besides that. Unfortunately the levels are so short that before you can even get a build together with synergy, the run is over. This game calls itself a roguelike in some opening dialogue, but that is absolutely NOT the case if the runs last 3 minutes at most. I invest 3 of my level ups into boosted EXP gain, and then the run ends when I hit level 4 because I completed the level :(

Solid albeit uninspiring concept, but the execution is very poor.

Response from developer

Hi, sorry for the disappointment :/ Some levels are longer than others. In Endless mode, you can reach up to level 17+. I don't know how far you've progressed, but if you play a little longer, you'll easily access the W1-Endless level.

I love it!!!!

Nice concept, I can’t stop playing!!

Best Zombie Game

I’m always being trapped by stupid zombie ads game that never are like in the ads… I found this game without ads and must admit it is really what I expected of such kind of game ! Many thanks for this very well designed game. Would recommend 1000%!

Great time-killer

Solid game with engaging gameplay. Looking forward to updates!
