The gameplay of this title is criticized for being an unfinished asset flip with minimal content and poor controls, making it difficult to recommend. While there are some humorous moments, such as a bug that causes thrown weapons to drag zombies along, the overall experience lacks depth and polish.
“Once I didn't try picking that up anymore, the gameplay lasted significantly longer.”
“Here's my first-time gameplay video and my review below it.”
“In this case, the 'simple apocalypse cartoon assets pack' is just a low poly asset pack from the Unity Asset Store that the developer slapped on top of a basic gameplay template, and it doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so a copy-paste of it can't be recommended.”
“Unfinished asset flip game with little gameplay and horrendous controls.”
“Although caused by a bug, if you throw a weapon at a zombie, it will tend to continue its momentum and bring the zombie with it, which provided me with a bunch of laughs.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent crashes and numerous bugs that detract from the experience, such as dead zombie bodies causing damage and flickering animations. Overall, players find it poorly made and unpolished, impacting gameplay quality.
“I purchased it because of the waving hands motion locomotion and I really like that a lot, but the game itself is poorly made, buggy, crashes constantly, and is not challenging.”
“The game is really buggy and unpolished at this time: the bodies of dead zombies damage you as if they were alive.”
“Also, the bodies of zombies get buggy and greatly flicker, hitting you from a distance.”

The humor in the game is largely derived from its amusing physics and the quirky movement system, which involves swinging arms to simulate walking. While players find this approach entertaining, it can also lead to moments of imbalance and motion sickness.
“The physics are hilarious!”
“The movement system, where you swing your arms pretending that you are walking, is intuitive and funny. I almost fell down a few times because I lost my balance due to the motion sickness.”
