Zombie Castaways

I have to agree with many others about the tools being too hard to acquire. I really enjoy this game but it is very frustrating to need more tools when after placing a new well yo be constructed you have no island with any quartz. It is true that you can acquire it from the daily spin, however it is only a possibility one day a week and I have actually gotten 1 quartz using this method. However since 15 are required, and I have only gotten it one time since I began playing that seems to be sort of a ridiculous response to the players inquiring about this problem. It is like a cruel joke. Also the Wells should always give tools, instead of occasionally spitting out stars. I wait and hope for two or three of the tools I need every two minutes and I get STARS! Really? Also when we buy a well it should be a permanent well instead of disappearing when you are well aware that building another is an infinitesimal project because the materials are just not available. The are so many things that the store can offer players to make money without requiring us to have to purchase the most basic necessities required to play the game. Use you imagination but provide the tools. Otherwise charge a price for the game itself and include what’s needed to play it instead of causing such grief for your players.

I see everyone complaining about tools and even thought I figured a few things out like trying to have 10-15 wells going as much a possible. CRYSTALS, I do feel a bit more should be added around BUT I decided to buy about 10-15 castles and when you get the treasure chests if CRYSTALS comes up you get 10 At a time! I’m now having trouble with palm trees so make sure your collecting as many as possible for getting wells. I’ve have very frustrating moments in this game also and missed out on finishing some islands ( I suggest bigger prizes for completing) I wish there was a way to EARN MORE TIME ON ISLANDS?! I also wish there would be a way to earn, buy, trade things so we can get a BACKPACK to carry extra tools with us?? I don’t think the amount now is enough. I am thankful for the extra’s that are given sometimes and I do like that this game takes a lot of thinking along with strategy etc. I love that it’s not over quickly like other games. I think a game like this deserves putting a little money into its a very detailed fun game! I’ve only spent very small amounts on 2 games in 20 years so I don’t do it often. I like the challenge of trying to complete without purchasing to much. I hope to see some of my suggestions incorporated into the game in future but for now I think this is a fantastic game THANKS, DIZZZ

I love this game, I love games like this where I can build stuff and explore new places. I have several issues with this game though,..as others have said it is beyond frustrating to have to jump through so many hoops to get tools, it takes so many materials and the quarts are hard to get, not to mention it feels like once u add a well one runs out immediately in order for you to not have so many tools, then u have to wait so long to accumulate enough tools to do anything on the islands. The game is pretty much designed to force you to buy zombie bucks and I’m sorry but I’m not spending money on a game, especially when the zombies only go so far. The other thing that really makes me mad is that you can’t get any more then 100 tools in each category, even if the well spits out enough to get u over 100 it will only let u have 100 tools which is ridiculous. I should be able to have as many tools as I collect. The game seems designed to keep u from being able to play it without buying stuff. I won’t buy zombucks, so the game is going very slow for me. If these things were fixed I would give it more stars, but I doubt that happens. Another thing is that they give you those bonus islands at the same time and give u time limits so it’s almost impossible to finish the islands before time runs out if you aren’t willing to use your actual money to buy zombie money to get those blades that cut down anything.

This is a fun game. I like that you can build different things and follow the tasks in any order. It’s a creative concept. However there are some down falls. When things first start out in the game the tutorial isn’t very clear on where many things come from and it’s a lot of figuring out on your own on where items can be gathered from as well as resources. I almost wanted to start the game over because I hadn’t realized that by going to the “new islands” at the bottom like it allowed me to I triggered timed quests that I’ve now missed out on because I didn’t have the tools to do them. The islands at the top you have to unlock. The number of tools it takes to clear an area sometimes can be daunting and it feels like the game is pushing you to spend real money, but if your patient enough you can make it through without having to. I’ve still continued to play the game, I do enjoy it. I do wish there were more ways to earn weapons with out them expiring such as the wells you spend so much time building that them to have them “dry up” so to speak. It’s kind of daunting, but it’s a good mean time game. It’s a gamble to do the special islands at the bottom that take up your resources for so called prizes. For now I’ll stick with it and hope for improvements on guiding you through the game and better responses to the tool needs.

As others mentioned, this game has many appealing qualities. And way too many primary flaws. The tool problem is utterly ridiculous. I’m currently on Pirate Island and have cleared the main goal, and have been systematically clearing all the remaining obstacles, too the point that only rocks are left. 75 lava rocks - requiring 55 to 125 pickaxes each; over 55 black, green, and white marble rocks - requiring 25 to 35 pickaxes each; 35 grass topped hills - requiring 85 to 155 pickaxes each ... and only ONE well to get them! Early in the game I fell for the stupid trick of buying miners to break up rocks and woodchoppers to cut down trees - only to discover they ONLY work on the first TWO islands! What the H*&# is their point? Why so many options to get them, only to not be able to use them??? The deeper you get into this game, the greater the frustration level becomes. I go sometimes for days without even looking at the game - just not up to feeling jerked around so much. Adequate quantities of quartz or temporary wells on ALL the islands would make the game enjoyable as well as playable. As it is, I’d not recommend getting involved in it unless you have nothing to do but waste your whole life away getting 4 or 5 tools at five minute intervals - and only three cycles maximum in “inventory”. (Meaning you can’t just wait for them to accrue - you must constantly clear the well to accumulate anything.) It’s really a shame.
