    You know, i wrote earlier that i wouldn't buy again this game once i gave it enough time, and surely not at that price.
    But are you sure you wanna rate it 1 star?
    I mean, we may not like it, but it's undeniable that it is a well made game.
    I hope you don't rate it so on the store as well, that would be childish and dishonest.

    Awesome! Dropbox will allow you to pick up where you left off on another device, right?

    I really want to like the game but the controls are really holding it back. I feel like there needs to be an option to show the joystick on screen.

    on the internet
    Make the top 0 and the bottom 99 that makes the controls a lot better.

    Yes you are right, i changed my rating to 3 stars. I didnt rate it on the appstore.

    The game is well made i agree on that. But its not my type, i dont like the controls (i tried changing them, but nothing works for me)

    after a few runs i allready got bored, and i think its to hard.

    Uhh - nobody have mentioned the lack of info on stats, perks/traits and weapons?

    Have i missed how to find the info in the game, or are people just using the web to read it (really think the info should be in the game...)

    allright. day1 buyer and massive fan of Rocketcat and WS. But the game as is now gets 4/5 from me for the combat controls. When you cant melee reliably, swinging into empty air or totally in another direction and end up losing one character after another because of it, it loses the fun.
    Great humor, great content, and even though the combat isnt the focus, it is enjoyable to smack zombies and sometimes you just get swarmed and cant run.
    I am confident that the coming updates can improve it, and dont regret the purchase at all. It just feels frustrating to die because of the controls in combat.

    There's descriptions of those in-game. But tou have to figure out most in-depth about traits. Perks say exactly what it grants on bonuses, though.

    Edit: you get info on perks and traits when you choose to create a custom char.

    The other stats are self explanatory.

    I feel the same.

    I thought at first maybe the controls were intentionally bad? The character was supposed to kind of float around? My character stops moving sometimes for no reason? I tried changing the sensitivity in the settings but it only got worse.

    I play on an iPad maybe the movement detection is calibrated for iPhone.

    I don't know but it's not good especially when movement is a key to success.

    I like the game but I agree the dpad is poor and when the game was delayed as long as it was I struggle to find that to be acceptable on release.

    Any chance of getting an ammo allocation feature? It's a little frustrating when you have two of the same type of gun, but the game automatically allocates all the ammo to one of your members.

    The combated is supposed to feel clunky, which gets better the higher the stats. But you are not supposed to be a zombie killing machine here, I guess. That's the way I see it.

    It is the same on PC, by the way.

    I didn't say combat. I'm specifically talking about movement, just walking lol.

    The dpad detection is terrible playing on iPad. I don't know that having a visual joystick would help but it's getting a lot of complaints.

    I don't have much trouble on iphone plus 7, but I can see how this can vary from person to person and maybe even from devices. After a few runs it became second nature and I never lost because of controls.

    But PC got some complaints about that also, if memory serves me right.

    There was a post about ten pages back to drop the dead zone slider to zero and the other slider that increases the range of the D pad I think all the way up to 99. I felt that fixed my issue and contented me

    Oh yah I wouldn't say it's gotten me killed or anything nah. I wish I had something I could blame my failures on LOL

    Just frustrating and I think it can be improved that's all. One small minor complaint. I love the game as much as I hoped I would and I am on the Death Road as we speak.

    I'll try what the guy below commented on as well.

    I feel like this is gonna be a stupid question, but how do I heal? My games are ending way fast. I haven't got past the second supply stop. I've got med packs but idk how to use em. Or are u not supposed to heal and the med kits are used for disease or something?
    As u can see I totally suck at this. Thank u in advance # here's a high five in exchange for any help# or a fist if you'd rather pound it#

    It's automatic on the car if you have medkits and depending on medic level. Also, there is some spray "weapon" that you can use in game.
