The game is simplistic and completely luck-based. Though it was entertaining for a few minutes.
I'd suggest making a few more events and adding in something like character creation. You really need some gimmicks to make this more interesting.
On another note, doing what i did to the score is too easy, try to fix it please.
NEW PLAYERS: Don't waste food resting too much or ever working out. Use your bullets early on to spare your health. Beginning game is critical to finding some food and armor/melee.
The review.
I didn't mind the RNG. I also didn't mind resting or visits from the Dr.
The big problem I see is once you get decent melee weapon, theres no point for bullets but to trade for ammo. So the combat never evolves around more than hitting a zombie two or three times depending on your strength.
Things I wonder about: Was there any point to helping the stranger? Every time I helped him he stabbed me, every time I tried to kill him he ran away.
Why are the zones named after stores when it would make more sense to just call it a district of a town.
Ideas to improve
The fight music is quite bad.
I would take a page from another random day zombie game and add some more stuff. Perhaps a risky extra mouth to feed for certain bonuses or health. They probably wouldn't be bad on the eyes, even considering its a zombie game.
Perhaps a chance or need to finda new safehouse every 100 days or so?
Perhaps getting your katana and finally hunting down the stupid superzombie? I mean seriously, screw that guy.
3/5
i figured that, given that static state of the game play that the dev would've put more effort into the graphics. given that most of it is not animated in any way, the art itself should be top notch. as it stands, with poor design and execution, coupled with the lack of physical play, this game falls far short of it's goal.
I give it a 3 only because, despite it's flaws, I still found it fun.
Nice game but it's pretty repetitive.... add more things to do in the days, more chance to get other kind of encounter, and some kind of boss to fight.
Meh........
