Good game. Doesn't run too well on my phone (ZTE Blade S6) but I'm not surprised as it is a fairly old phone.

Thanks @viperfish9 ! We'll continue to improve the game in the future! :grin:

I liked how the car rolled over easily if you're not careful. But the lag (good phone) when more zombies showed up made it unplayable :( Also getting stuck was easy and impossible to get out of. With the right tweaking and polish this could turn out to be pretty fun!

@murilo This bugs are being fixed and we will launch a nice playable version soon! Keep being an alpha to receive our updates! Thanks for your feedback! :grin:

I feel that this game was kinda underwhelming, and it was honestly disappointing, it looked really good and I sincerely hope you keep working on it and you make it fantastic. Starting with the good things, the car controlled really well. Drifting around was responsive and just fun. The game looked really good as well, presentation was great. As such I found myself looking forward to playing this game when I found it but in reality, without a reverse button I kept getting stuck, the zombies spawned way too quickly and killed the game with their lag and I kept getting flipped over, which makes sense but I would have liked an option to flip back after a while. The audio worked well, however it stacked so much it went from quiet to blasting my ears off in seconds. It was a fun game despite its flaws, however, and I'll probably keep it on my phone for train entertainment.

The game ran perfectly for me and looked really good.. Really good job on the presentation! Also it's nice to have a mobile game to shake things up a bit :P

The car was mainly quite nice to control, and getting a good run in was really satisfying! The only issue was the lack of a reverse/reset button - it was often impossible to move and you just had to wait it out to have another go. All in all I enjoyed it though, nice entry! :)

I liked the idea but I found it was let down by a few usability issues:

1. On my nvidia shield the aspect ratio was wrong. The left and right edges of the screen were clipped off. 2. There's no way to reverse? Or maybe that was off screen because of the aspect ratio issues. On my first few runs, I hit a wall and couldn't turn around. 3. Performance started to lag once my score hit around 100.

On the plus side, once I got into the swing of things it was fun and I like the art style.

The drifting physics are really enjoyable. About the overall experience, I'm torn between "wow, that's fun" and some aspects which are rather frustrating. The central game mechanic works fine, but this game could benefit a lot from more polishing.

Also, the performance got really bad when there were to many zombies - generally a bad thing, but in this instance, it nicely fits the theme :)

Awesome concept and I like the voxel-style graphics. Had lots of control issues though - it took me a good 3-4 attempts before I was able to kill my first zombie, either from going the wrong way (why have the road area at the beginning if you'll just run out of time going down there?) or getting stuck against a wall (my kingdom for reverse!) Once I was able to get into it it was fun, but I would occasionally get flipped over by spawning zombies which was a bit frustrating. Maybe a more open tutorial level without things to get stuck on would help the player get into it? Also I would love to see this on desktop with gamepad controls, there's a lot of potential here. My high score was 20. Keep it up!

I enjoyed the drifting and voxel-based art, but like others I was tripped up by the lack of a reverse option. I kept getting stuck on walls and such.

Nice art, but the lack of reverse option and lagging made it unplayable for me :( Some optimsation reverse button would probably fix this :)

I would like to try this game but is there a way for it to be exported as either a win app or an html app?

I like the top-down 3d models.
