The Story

Like a voracious fire, the plague spread swiftly, ravaging all it could touch. Only death and fear in its wake.

Some held their ground for as long as they could; Others fled to wherever they now call Home.

Holding to some strange sanity. . . SurvivorZ, together, scavenge and struggle toward a future unknown.

    This game is so fun to play! The leaderboard is always a 10/10 and your game is a 20/10. Finding Winky gave it an extra five points.šŸ˜ŠšŸ©· Fantastic work, AS ALWAYS VN. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

    thank you so much for playing and being such a big part of it all. you played your role as Survivor with a Microphone perfectly adding more to the game than i could have hoped for, and your reaction to our feline assistant in the Zombpocalypse was priceless :)

    Simple, but challenging! The font is a little difficult to read, but the game speaks for itself.

    I like that there's a scoreboard too, even if my initials won't make it there. ^-^'

    This is the 2nd font. I need to get better at choosing them! Thanks for playing :)

    Pretty fun game! I enjoyed it. The leaderboard is a good addition

    Though I found it confusing how I had a few really good runs, but still couldnā€™t manage to beat one of my earlier scores where I got almost none of the items

    Hi and thanks for playing! iā€™ve added The Score above where youā€™ll see Health is vital and perhaps why later runs scored less?

    Meanwhile, Your Initials so i can watch you climb? :)

    Oh, you get a higher score if you finish with more health? That would explain it then. Initials I used are vxi.

    ahhh. iā€™ve been watching and swept your tracks toward the top. nice work!

    since youā€™ve done so well, iā€™ll let you know there are always 25 Zombies, 12 total Food & Water + 1 Battery every play. is a ā€œperfectā€ 20 Seconds possible? letā€™s find out ;)

    Iā€™m sure it is but Iā€™ll settle for 4950 for now hahah, might come back and try some more later. Also this game helped me realize how much of an impact high scores can have, not that the game isnā€™t compelling on its own but the high scores make it much more compelling. Iā€™ll have to use high scores in a project as well.

    absolutely. if you check the last buncha games i made, online tables are a must in my book. and, as a dev, itā€™s a pleasure to see folks climb.

    meanwhile, youā€™ve earned a rest. an update is inevitable and iā€™ve got some tricks up my sleeve so do check in ;)

    also, i can see how many times youā€™ve (not) clicked the Radio. did you know that you could? :)

    Looks like Shift is the action key? However repeatedly pressing this on Windows prompts you to turn on Sticky Keys. Could you reassign this key?

    hi, itchy. iā€™ll add the [Z] key for those who havenā€™t turned off sticky keys ;)

    a quick update posted to add [Z] as an action option (and [R] to play the Radio :) ). thanks for the feedback. now, go bash some ZombieZ!

    Nice! Thank you.
