Don't Get Bit

Full review is here: https://explorminate.co/dont-get-bit-review/ Short version is Don't Get Bit is overall a decent game. It has a solid narrative, lovely hand drawn artwork and has more depth than initially appears. It's a bit difficult to recommend to experienced turn based strategy players but would be an ideal title for those new to the genre.

I'm having a lot of fun. This game plays well and runs well, the writing is good, the art is fantastic, and the character design and voice acting are incredible. I don't normally like having to restart when something goes wrong, but I don't mind as much as usual here. I am going to second a quality-of-life suggestion from the community board; some way to see the awareness of zombies would help. A few times I've gone in with all intention of sneaking through stealthily and had to destroy all of the undead.

I really enjoyed this game, and I liked the way that playing through the three journeys forced me to change my approach. Although I don't disagree with the turn-based strategy label, I found it leaned more toward the puzzle side than the kind of games that usually jump to mind for me in the genre (e.g. civ or xcom - it's not like those).

"A puzzle-strategy game with an engaging story, they say? We'll see about that!" *over two and a half hours straight and all thirty scenarios later* "I saw about that! Very, very good!" lol

First experience with a turn-based strategy game - so much fun! Just the right amount of challenge to keep me coming back for more. Felt like I was cruising along with ease until Level 23 - things have slowed down, but I'm muscling through - I'll help Cassie & Co. beat those zombies yet! Love the narration and story - can't wait to see how it ends! Drawings are fantastic, to boot!

Puzzles are challenging but fair. There were a couple of levels that had me stumped, but not because they were impossible, just because I'm too impulsive to strategize lol. To win this game, you need to slow down, pay attention to everything, and learn from mistakes. When I finally completed a difficult level, it felt satisfying. Immersive eerie music and sound design, professional voice over, unique and disturbing zombie variants, and there's even replay value. Glad I played this!

This is an Indie piece of art. Original, simple and fun. Levels are quite varied and fresh, each of them adding something new to the experience. Good job Canine, looking forward to more projects!
