Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Probably one of the beat mobile game we played.
We had so much fun playing this that we deleted it cause we were so addicted.
We only gave it 5 stars to appear in the reviews but after a while all our progress got whipped out we had unlocked all 4 areas and once we clicked on the starter area it said we didnt have any distress calls Download if you want to redo everything again.
Literally we can go to school and come back very strong! Best zombie game we played by far (Im not a bot by the way).
Ok we need more games like this it is the BEST zombie game.
This is a great idle game and if you turn on airplane mode NO ADS ZERO and it is such a fun game.
Best game ever so fun love how theres so many other places to go to best game to play.
We love it so much because Ive been playing this for like a year because we had a iPad in 5th grade its amazing.
No bugs glitches very satisfying and when Im very stressed, we can play it to relax us.
We got really far but our grey rock thing randomly reset to zero and we had to delete the game. The game would not let us gain anymore rock. Adding an option to clear all warehouse storage would be a simple fix. Love the game still, thanks.
Ive had this game for two days now, and Ive spent both days on this game. Theres nothing, and we mean NOTHING bad about this game. We mean theres incredible graphics, no forced ads, great characters (guns), so much cool bosses, and many more. If your looking for a fun game, try this one.
Graphics took a tycoon survival, and we like the boss fights. Super challenging and super fun.
Its really fun we have been looking for this game since we played it when we were younger.
We honestly really like the game but the lack of updates is pretty bad maybe add more cities or more guns? Thats really all we can think of.
Our son loves this game so much much.
Its a very good game overall but its super easy and they need to lower the prices because its taking us forever to get more money. Im going to show a video of us playing and how easy it is for us.
We love this game but the past few times ive installed and played it clicking on the shop crashes the game, its been an issue for a while, no clue if its somehow intentional but if not please fix.
It can be a fun game but the marketplace by the gold kicks you off the game every time you click on it Ive deleted the app and got it back Ive turned our phone off and still kicks us off so we dont know why its there if its not gonna work.
Overall, it is a fun game. However, it takes forever to progress from level to level even with buffs and high DPS. We have played this game for two days and have not reached level 35 in London with 500 billion dps. We can respect a slow grind to keep us returning for more, but this is unbelievable. It would be more beneficial to have each level with waves instead of filling up a progress bar. That way, we know how long it will take to finish a level. Instead of keeping the game running on our phone for four hours and noticing we have only progressed a quarter of the way to the next level.
They keep kicking us out and not enough level 1000 more please.
Doesnt really seem like a bad game but it crashed way too much. The aggressive self advertisement for your Facebook and ratings probably causes half crashes.
It has a boss we dont think other zombie games has that and it has a lot of weapons.
Bro Ive been now trying to find this game for like 2-3 years and we found it and when we did we cried so hard and then on first level Im on Lv,60 and on our second level #location Im Lv.13Shell we gave it a five star because its so entertaining.
Very good game with turrets and missiles and zombies very good.
Can you please make more levels thanks.
We love this game its the best no Wi-Fi game but when we press shop it sends us to our home page pls help this is a feedback we want to spend 10$.
We bought something for 0.99 and it made us pay 10.91$ it completely ripped us of so now Im broke and cant afford food.
Hi we recommend game this game is really good and we love how right when you start you get a lot of money and that it gets increasingly hard really quickly we love that you can kill some zombies instead of just your machines killing the zombies.
This game is fun after all ever time we play it we get kicked out the app weird. Asking if u can fix this for us.
It is a very good game make more a give us a Notification.
This is a great game and if we could we would not change a thing about this game.
We wonder what that means, anyway, we have a question, does this game track us? We mean, it says data used to track you. So Im kinda worried, but we dont understand by data not linked to us, so, does that mean itll not be sent to other companies to track us and find our location and take us to Safeway? (Idk why we said that but ok) Otherwise, great game! 5 Stars.
Idk when it happened but when we were playing a while ago (like 3 or 4 months ago) it didnt glitch so it was probably one of the bug fixes but on our iPad you cant open shop it just kicks you to your Home Screen and we know its not storage because we have already fixed that so idk what is causing so we really hope this gets fixed soon. :).
Kinda like Bloons td6 but lesser version for people who cant pay the money for it and isnt too complex and we s simple with a short tutorial and over is the best idle game Ive seen yet its fantastic :).
So first its to easy Wicht is good for us cause we will go coo coo if we lose we feel like it could have more zombies but it a great game.
So this game is so fun its fun and all in-till you get bored of it but maybe youll download it again its worth it download it.
Tons of zombies and zombies bosses that are extremely tough and you have to upgrade a ton of automatic weapons to blast them to tiny pieces of goo lol. Seriously this game rocks.
Do you want to FaceTime us keep our ever played but we lost it.
So addictive cant stop playing.
Ive been playing this game for like one hour, and Ive already gone so far into this game this game will probably keep you up for like five hours straight. We are so excited we download this game. This game was the best Ive ever done and Ive done a lot like these games have got us to this like Bowmaster State of survival and everything else check out these games and youll be perfect for this one. We swear this is the best game. This is why Im doing this rating this game and we mean this game does too much is awesome.
We spent over 5 hours and Im not at lv 35 yet.
We love this game its the best game and its challenging the best game ever.
This is the best game Ive ever played to be honest Ive never had more fun playing a game in this game especially the fact it is an ideal game we love ideal games and most of all the game has zombies and we are obsessed with zombies basically.
It is the only game that Is good because you can buy new guns and we also like that there are more zombies when you go up levels.
This game is so cool we play it when Im bored and its so fun make a pt 2.
It is so good the best game ever.
We just love this game we cant stop playing it lol.
This game is great you can start shooting zombies at the start you can upgrade your guns and your other things you can upgrade you to it by pushing on them you can also get money and then you dont need to collect it its auto correct you can also get millions and millions of millions of dollars in the game we already am at level 30 or 40 you have San Francisco and London we havent gotten the other stuff yet we havent even gotten to the other world yet.
This is an awesome game and it just keeps us coming. Its so addicting but there is one thing we just wish there were more places to do.
This game is amazing we just downloaded it like a couple hours ago and Im so addicted to it and we love that there are different maps and lots of levels the shooters are so good if u get far is the game and the zombies have equipment on them which makes it harder just the hole game itself is amazing.
