An oldie but a goodie!

Different for an escape game. I like it. Some of the puzzles could be a little more logical. That said, the art is awesome and music is good. Good Job!

I... i don't know why, but i hate this...
Not only is this point and click one of the most ridiculous in terms of logic to follow, but there is very little margin for fucking error in this thing.

Things i like, the tone: very fitting to the zombie Apocalypse.
The concept of limited clicks (in theory) is a neat idea for a point and click.
However in the case of accidental shots, things you are not sure of, or just shooting in the correct order, that crap is nonsense.
The logic at times is nonsensical in which things MUST be done, some times its easy but other times you scratching your head going huh (especially having to do with windows >.<) ?
You are surrounded by breakables, and things that LOOK like that can be shot.
Its a lot of trail and error before you can even attempt to figure out the correct ORDER in which things need to be shot, which is really retarded.
Yeah, and that troll moment before you reach the tower is unfair and you know it god damn it.
Good luck figuring this game out without a walk through, i barely manged to squeeze by.

Now for the story which is my LEAST favorite thing of this flash.
I HATE THIS STORY!
Oh don't get me wrong it had a good build up, but lets just say the writing is contrived as all hell.
And there is no pay off...
(Spoilers)
You actions mean diddly squat...
(end of spoiler)
Lastly just why does it matter where the hell you put a pack of dynamite?
Its dynamite bro and 4 of the things, in a pack of six EACH.
That's enough to level a building regardless of where you put them...
which goes back to the insane leaps in logic you have to attempt with this.

Now the art is fine, and the aesthetics fit the mood, but god damn if i feel like the whole game was just pointless.

Sound: OUCH man RIP headphone users, tone that stuff down, that explosion sound, could pass for an IMAX explosion...
Zombies are really freaking loud when they go pop as well.

And that's why i gave no stars, if the whole game feels pointless, and was a chore to play.
Then maybe its not a good game.

I did not have fun. Sorry, that's what games are supposed to be in the end, fun.

My type of game. We love zombies and ish. Good job!
