    I may have overstated the randomness a bit. Everyone has a climbing level on the second to last screen. And everyone pulls from the same "chunks" Its just that the order of those are a bit different.

    Here are my tips to you:
    - You have full armor. Use it. While you still have armor don't jump over enemies, just let them hit you. It will save energy
    - If you see spikes, don't jump over them. Use your spike boots. (Unless the spikes are at the bottom of a pit)
    - Don't double or wall jump unless you absolutely have to. Those moves burn twice as much energy as a regular jump.
    - Try not to get burned. The flame plates are the most deadly thing in the whole game.

    I've just hit that level, and holy crap... it seems almost impossible. I have every upgrade maxed out (except the last ability which I think comes a few levels after) and the closest I can get is about 80% of the way.

    I'm doing all the things you mention, just letting armor/spike boots take care of things and only jumping when I have to. I don't see any possible way to get farther, even with a "perfect" run.

    Sucks you've had some issues but I'm glad you're still getting interest in this game! I was just thinking the other day for how basic it is in comparison I still much, much more enjoyed this than Super Mario Run... for what it's worth this game was actually fun to play, whereas mario felt somewhat tedious to me, and I've always been a huge mario fan.

    Thanks for the update. However, it did not fix the language issue for me (still just a bounch of numbers instead of text).

    Language

    Hey someone else had a similar issue. Try this

    1) Make sure you have downloaded the latest version
    2) Double tap the home button and kill the Zombie King process. Then restart Zombie King. If the language does not switch to english do step 3.
    3) From the Title Screen open settings and then tape the "Language button." It is the 3rd button from the top and it should have 2 letters in it like "en", "es", "fr", "de", "it", "ja", "ru", "zh". Then click the purple back button and it should have the language changed.

    Hope that helps.

    This level has those fire plates in them right? Those flame plates are the worst enemy in the whole game. Pretty much your run is over if you hit one or two of them because they do such sustained damage. Do whatever you can to not hit them (even armor won't save you) Sometimes it is preferred to make a jump and take the long way around to avoid a particularly fire-plate-heavy area.

    Can anyone else help Mr. or Ms. sweetdiss out?

    The pause button's touch area isn't big enough. Tapping the top-right corner makes me jump instead of pausing the game.
    It's too small even without that issue. :eek:


    In the shop, there's a button with a picture of the king's head. What does it do? It currently does nothing for me, as far as I can tell (but it does look like it's being pressed like a button when I tap it...)


    Tapping too lightly results in a full-height jump instead of a short jump.

    Any tips for conserving every last scrap of energy? I'm fully upgraded but one of the later levels is killing me - even with lucky monster placement and a seemingly perfect run I run out just as the end sign comes on screen.

    Double jumps use slightly more energy than two regular jumps, right? Do short jumps use less energy than long jumps? And is there any way of wall jumping without it taking a massive chunk of energy?

    Sale

    I have a tradition where on my birthday I discount my games. Well, June 28th is my birthday. Lucky You.

    So Zombie King is only $1 until Sunday. If you have not picked it up I would hope you do so now because I put my games on sale as often as I have birthdays (which is usually just every 365 days)

    Sucker for Zombie Games. Ever since Zombies Ate My Neighbors on Nintendo (anyone remember that?) I can't get enough of them. Play many Tower Defense games too, so will be sure to d/l and give this a chance.
