    I've only skimmed the thread, so don't know if its been mentioned. I checked achievements in the game, and it wiped them all out. I have to collect them all again. Some of the distance one were restored immediately tho.

    Awesome game! Farthest I've gotten so far is 5,229.

    Wouldn't the best strategy for high scores be to not complete any missions and fast unlock the SMG or similar? This way you get that weapon every time. Seems like an issue.

    I fast unlocked SMG and later unlocked the shotgun through missions but I didn't really want it since it lowers the chance of the better gun showing up. Now I don't have much motivation to unlock the revolver.

    Perhaps allow us to choose which unlocked weapons we want. It could require 3 minimum so you still have some variety.

    Really like that idea. :) When I fast unlocked revolver I thought selecting it would make only the revolver appear in crates. So I kept getting confused between revolver and regular handgun, trying to one shot kill zombies with the wrong gun. xD

    Any tips for getting through the 2nd cornfield? I've tried dozens of times now and always die there

    Loving this one, well done chaps! The corn fields are such a great touch and the overall feel of the game is great.

    @ PikPok -

    Any chance you guys would consider changing the "increase your run distance over your previous record" type missions?

    I love the game, but after failing the latest version 10+ times, my interest in playing is waning.

    Before anyone says it, yes, I can skip the mission, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of actually playing the game...;)

    Isnt that the same as "playing the game, and if all fails, use the coins gained to skip." :D

    No, and that's exactly my point. I'm either going to play the game or skip the mission. It can be either/or, but not simultaneously both.

    Suppose I have a billion coins and a mission costs 1 coin to skip, but I just cannot succeed, no matter how hard I try. Regardless of the mathematics, I'm forced to accept that I cannot properly play the game, thus resigning myself to taking the easy way out.

    Considering my desire to play games, skipping missions is essentially skipping the point of downloading the game.

    To be very clear, I'm not complaining about cost, or whining about how unfair the game is, or balance, or IAP, or blah, blah, blah. I'm merely saying that when a game pushes you to do the absolute best you can, and then says to do better than you did before, while being handicapped (no kills in this case), the ensuing frustration caused by repeatedly not finishing the mission lessens my drive to continue playing.

    Just one guy here, talking opinion/desire to continue playing.

    tl;dr: One guy doesn't enjoy the current structure of some of the missions and might stop playing.

    DBC, the tl;dr king!

    Haha, just kidding. I read the whole thing. :p
    I happen to agree with your view. Does that mission pop up more than once? Coz I've only seen it once so far. And if after trying my best I see that mission cycle back, I can see how that can be a big issue.

    That kind of mission shows up more than a couple times.

    I believe the developers made weapon pick ups random for a reason. It keeps the game fresh, it's no fun if you always use the best weapon ya know? It's more realistic this way to, just like scavenging in the wild. It also prevents the leader boards from getting all top tier scores because someone just bought the best weapon and that was it.

    @ Eoghann - Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not the end of the world, and I've got much bigger concerns irl...;):D

    @ E-P - I'm going to be strong, and likely survive it.;):D

    A future update will deliver the Hardcore Mode, which will include weapon selection in a loadout, so you can limit down the weapon pickups to just a handful.

    Of course, this will be offset by things like the mode being a lot harder than Classic or the upcoming Massacre mode, randomised maps, and randomised ammo counts on pickup.

    I got to 3400 on an early try, thought the game was too easy and haven't broken 3213 since!

    I'm worried about the developers making money on this. I'm playing it like crazy but see no benefit to spending cash

    Sorry about that, we are looking into it.


    Well, even just by playing and seeing the ads we earn revenue, so you don't need to worry too much.

    But if you feel really guilty, then feel free to buy the coin doubler ;)

    Really digging this game. PikPok, you should seriously think about putting a price on this game in the AppStore cuz It's definately a must have!

    I love how immersive everything is. Hopping over fences and downed trees, the bobbing effect when you run, bumping into zombies and trees, running into cornfields... Gives me a "Mirror's Edge" meets Zombies kind of feel and I love that! I hope nothing but a bright future for this game! Well done to you, fine people at PikPok. Well done. *tips hat to you*
