I tried out Zombie Massacre 2. It was ok, played it for few minutes.

I didn't like Zombie Massacre 2.

I ended up dying because one of the weapons didn't give you enough ammo in a later stage to get enough money to change to a better weapon. Some of the stupidly weak weapons need a rethink. I'd prefer a few mediocre weapons to a range from absurdly powerful to ridiculously pathetic.

Also, the $7500 upgrade is almost impossible to get with random weapon swapping.

Instead of regenerating health, it would be better to have random health-up drops.

It needs more variety, too. More enemies and stuff like that.

I remember playing Find a Zombie 2 a while ago. It was a good idea, but lack of variety led to it becoming tedious.

There's lots of good in these games, but the good is overshadowed by balance issues or repetition.

That zombie was a fun little 5 minute thing, I enjoyed it actually, shame about the 2.5 star rating.

I think these game make a lot more sense in your head, than they do in mine. I for instance, cannot figure out Broomstick Maker 2, while I am sure you know exactly what you must do to make a toy broomstick. Mine all seem to be of racing quality no matter what I do.

Yeah, that seems to be one of the main problems I have. When something makes sense to me, but I either can't describe what I want the player to do easily enough, or else make things too complex. PS In that broom game, you have to set the settings to 'low' on both and then keep clicking 'develop broomstick' until you get a toy broom.

The tip about the powerups is good. Thank you for the advice. I'll try my best!

I actually tried setting them both to low, and clicked develop new broom about twelve times, and it stayed up by racing level. Perhaps I had ideal checked...

Perhaps you could add some actual graphics. I assume you're using adobe and it really isn't that hard to draw and animate something and it will make your game more appealing.
