Many thanks for this very well designed game. Would recommend 1000%! ### 5/5 — Great time-killer *2025-02-20, version 0.2.10* Solid game with engaging gameplay. Looking forward to updates! ### 5/5 — Nice Game!! *2024-12-23, version 0.1.12* I enjoyed my time playing this game!! It’s quite easy to use and for a first game the design and the gameplay have been well done!!! Continue to work like this Vincent!! ### 5/5 — Really good game *2024-12-17, version 0.1.6* Damn that’s a really good game I love it and I’m totally not the developer ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2025-02-28, version 0.2.12* “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. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-02-08, version 0.2.4* Play for 10 seconds, watch 69 seconds of ads! Then after level 3 while the ad is playing the game continues and after ad finishes I’m dead, lol.. 👎 ### 1/5 — Hides the energy system behind first 20 minutes of gameplay *2025-02-06, version 0.2.3* Has an energy system that limits how much you can play, and hides it behind your first 20 minutes of gameplay so you get hooked first. Scummy, underhanded tactic. ### 3/5 — Ad filled, microtransaction, no skill required. *2025-02-14, version 0.2.6* The more I think of this game, I want to request a refund for the 50 minutes I spent. It’s like someone took all the worst ideas for monetization and combined it with a game that has absolutely no skill required. Worst of both worlds. Not only is it unoriginal, it’s full of ads and microtransactions, and it kills your battery. 55 minutes of gameplay killed 30% of my battery. Also, navigating menus isn’t easy. It doesn’t explain that the power ups or gun upgrades you get during a run are only for that particular run. You can get extra guns, but they are rewards for certain achievements. Unlike most pay to win games (which this absolutely is), you run into a paywall really early. Level 1-4 can’t be passed unless you grind a ton of levels for gold on level 1-3. But.. it also has an energy system, with about 6 runs when you have full gas, and it seems like you might get 1 run per 20 minutes (it’s not really clear) ### 3/5 — Not bad but *2024-12-19* So I saw the game through Reddit and I love zombie games. After playing for two days , here are my take away. Pros: it’s a unique game and you can kill a decent amount of time. Cons: the main gun aiming is so random sometimes , I’ll be aiming forward and it’ll shot to the far right or left. When you get the level up screen after returning to the game you are pretty much surrounded by zombies and that’s game. For some reason any zombie to the left that’s attacking the door , the shots won’t register and you’ll lose massive amount of health. Can’t watch ads and yes I did try to turn my VPN off and restarting the game. Also sometimes I’ll start a map and my turret would be at 17.5 dps and other times it would be at 14 dps. Overall not bad for a new game without many people playing yet. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback! Almost all the points you mentioned have been reworked or fixed in the recent update: -The aiming system has been polished. -The level-up UI has been reworked. -Overall hit detection and damage are more consistent. As for your ads/VPN issue, I’m not sure yet, but I’d recommend reaching out to me on Discord so we can investigate it further. Again, thanks for your feedback! ### 4/5 — Ads won’t dismiss or pay out *2026-03-03, version 0.10.34* 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! ### 4/5 — Great Concept *2026-02-12, version 0.10.12* 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. ### 4/5 — I want to like it *2025-07-28, version 0.7.1* 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. ### 4/5 — It’s pretty good *2025-06-15, version 0.6.2* Gameplay is simplistic which can be a bit boring but overall it’s pretty good time killer so far ### 4/5 — Love the game, bugs are frustrating *2025-04-08* 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. **Developer response:** 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 :) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dear ZS *2026-03-02, version 0.10.34* This game is 🤩 fun ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-02-17, version 0.10.18* Get it do it ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-01-19, version 0.9.24* 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. ### 5/5 — Exactly what you’re looking for. *2025-09-23, version 0.8.4* The game is exactly what it says it is. Not a money grab and ads are optional. ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-08-27, version 0.7.4* Great game ### 5/5 — Very fun and addictive game *2025-08-18, version 0.7.4* 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 ! ### 5/5 — Wow *2025-08-17, version 0.7.4* The fake shooting zombie game made real ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-05-14, version 0.5.7* Thanks for this game.

Amazing zombie game! *2025-05-14, version 0.5.7* Really cool zombie game, can’t stop playing! ### 5/5 — Really fun game *2025-05-07, version 0.5.7* I feel like the game is really fun and engaging.
