Secondly, I didn't finish it :x I made it to the second day and the gods dropping potatoes, empty crates and self-exploding devices was really funny, but not enough to keep me waiting an entire 'nother day :P I emptied the clip on the third weapon though, it was really, really satisfying, way more than the other two. The kick was perfect.\r\rThe zombies don't really have any AI so it just feels like I'm playing a hunting game more than anything else. I didn't take a single bit of damage. Maybe it gets better as you go? But it ramps up too slow I think and the days were tooooooo long, or at least there wasn't enough to do.\r\rAnd I have to say this as a joke, with a tiny bit of truth to it, "yeah playing this game felt like eternal punishment." :P Overall, really really impressive technically, but just too dull to keep my attention for long enough to "finish" a never-ending game."},{"author_name":"matthias_zarzecki","author_uid":"3880","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 1:24pm","epoch":1367327940,"text":""I am Sysyphus.

The nights were a bit too long, but more importantly, the days were really long, and had basically nothing to do in them. It doesn't matter if day is shorter than night, just make day 20 seconds long.\r\rAlso, sometimes the parcels were quite tricky to find. Perhaps make a beacon from the sky come down to them so you know where you are?\r\rBut other than that, really cool game. I noticed that the zombie face textures were awesome, as well. The text and the story are interesting .The guns are cool. Overall, great, just a bit hampered by the long days.\r\rAlso.. Sisyphus? Not Tithonus?"},{"author_name":"ming_tea","author_uid":"17824","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 2:10am","epoch":1367460300,"text":"Pretty fun, and I loved the addition of the day\/night cycle.
