    I would love to see a screen that shows the stats for the run I just did after I died. Like how many zombies killed, distance covered, total playtime of the run, etc. Just going from the "Dang It" You Died screen to the start menu, feels a bit... empty.
    Also, it would be great to add a "total time played" in the overall stats screen in the start menu!

    Do not create your family for this game. So I was the leader and I had my wife and daughter with me. All was going well until we ran out of the building we were looting and jumped in the car. I learned the hard way that everyone doesn't automatically get in the car when the leader does. As the car drove off, I noticed my daughter was being surrounded by zombies and there was nothing I could do. I LEFT HER BEHIND!! Most traumatic thing that's ever happened to me in a video game. I had to close the app. I'll try again after the trauma has passed but I learned my lesson.

    No the cheerful music made it worse. I felt like it was mocking me.

    I hear you brother. But I agree the uplifting music is good but I don't know if it suits this kind of game.

    Made it to Canada on my 7th run last night. That was one heck of a rush and a crazy funny ending. Had a pretty great run, until the very end where I lost everyone but 1 character. Did however lose my wife early on, when she decided to join the bandits and rob me lol. Well now its time to try something other than normal, thanks for the great game.

    Great idea. Or options. Can't say I'm a big fan either.

    My strategy with the Last Body Builder is to pick up something large like a refrigerator and just run through the zombies. They all get knocked down and he's pretty much unstoppable.

    That's nuts! The things I keep discovering and reading about here just keep surprising me!

    For what it's worth, I was raiding a run-down arcade until one machine stood out. Upon further inspection I was given a few choices but decided to play the game. My leader chick ended up playing for 2 hours while the other party members were stuck defending her. What's more, she got a stat increase in shooting! :)

    Beat the game a second time! The only special character I've found so far in this game is the wizard (bad luck not meeting anyone else?) but the wizard turned out to have the most op attack that was unlimited and he carried me to the promised land. This run was actually easier than my last because of the wizard. Looking forward to hopefully running into more special characters!

    Maybe in a future update Kepa can add various endings. That would be fun to see which random ridiculous ending you might get.

    Really agree with this - would provide a tangible mile marker to aim for and beat next run; or you could aim to better your game by killing the most zombies in a run or getting to Canada in the quickest time. Would love to see this.

    I think I would actually prefer just a general stats screen added to the main menu. Maybe a stats button then after you click it, shows how many runs, how many character deaths, how many zombies defeated, items picked up, etc. Honestly this would add to the longevity of the game since after a failure, stuff is still recorded onto your universal stat sheet. It would be nice to consider!

    Wait, that they do have. Shows how many runs, zombie kills, toilets flushed, and some other stats. I agree that at an end of a run you can see what you did specifically on that run. Also total time layer would be cool because I know I must have at least put 20 hours into this already. It's my number 2 on my battery percent usage after VLC.

    I'd definitely like a map with a line from Florida to Canada and a skull where you died or something. Ideally it'd be nice to see it occasionally as you go to get some sense of progress, but if not then at least having it at the end gives you something to aim for next time.

    Waited for this game for a while, it's a blast on mobile!

    One bug report though. Though it's unlikely anyone will get to it, if any of your resources goes above 4 digits the game will crash when you exit a stage (where resources would normally update). I know it won't affect pretty much any normal player, I just find it odd since this doesn't happen on the PC version as far as I can tell from save editing guides (the PC version is easily moddable).
