Reviews for "Daytraders of the Dead"
hot and heavy
really a fun game, gory and with plenty of action. ill agree on the urgency of the matter and am gonna come back 2 this 1! Thanks and keep up the great work!
fun game
It was fun and good for burning time, but I found level 5 HARD as hell and weapon upgrades and health rare to find.
Amazing!
You really managed to convey the feeling of tension and urgency of a zombie nightmare. Just like a Romero film, if a Romero film was way too saturated.
Zombies are hella rich O_o
This was a fun zombie killing game that got me into it for a while. Graphics are really great (explosions are a bit flashy aren't they?), nice music that fit each level's backstory, and great plot (the 80's level was somewhat unexpected but cool)
Gameplay is okay, the controls are easy to maneuver although the arrow for movements needs a bit to be adjusted to; in the first parts of the game it confused me of where I was shooting. Powerups are always a plus in my book but I wished that there could be more guns, which would be handy for hard levels.
There are problems that I wished to be fixed in the game. First there is the arrow (which I already addressed) but there is also the incredible spawning in the later time of survival and the later levels. This is that in a surprising amount of time, hundreds of zombies surround you from all corners and sides, making the available movement increasing small. This is a problem because it then devoids the game of real strategy, all you have to do is hold the mouse button like crazy and gather every powerup you see. In that situation, you can also lose your health like crazy.
Small tweaks I would like you to add is a small thing in the Chrono-Bind powerup. When everything turns gray, it is hard to distinguish the zombies from the floor because everything is the same color. Perhaps, make the zombies a little brighter?
However, there are a few high points: such as the school bus powerup (which made me laugh the first time), the colorful array of objects the zombies drop, and the flashiness of the game.
