Before this game I hit rock bottom, having a gambling and a drug addiction. Now I wake up every morning with a purpose 10/10

This is a very simple and currently quite barebones shooter where you defend yourself from zombies and try to survive through waves of enemies. You get to blast zombies across three stages, with a fourth stage planned for future updates. However, you must play and complete the stages in order to unlock the next one. You begin in the middle of a stage with just enough money to buy a pistol from a nearby pedestal. Once you press the button, zombies start emerging from openings around the area. The number in the upper-right corner shows how many enemies remain before the wave ends. The next wave starts automatically, so you need to move quickly if you want to resupply before it begins. Weapons require ammunition that can be purchased from the ammo chest. Unfortunately, this mechanic is currently unbalanced because you need to pay an absurd amount to restock ammo, while it’s far cheaper to simply buy a new pistol from its pedestal. Money is earned by killing enemies and surviving waves. You can also spend money at the trader, though its three offers are both expensive and poorly explained. There’s a medkit, a health upgrade, and a speed boost. Another way to use your funds is to unlock new paths in the starting arena, which expands the playable area and grants access to new weapon pedestals. Sadly, you can only carry one additional weapon besides the pistol, so if you decide to replace your shotgun with a machine gun, you’ll lose the shotgun and waste the money spent on both. The game’s economy feels unbalanced, and the enemies are poorly tuned. You’ll need to make every shot count unless you want to spend all your money on bullets. Even with careful aim, you’ll rarely be able to afford much else. Enemies grow tougher with each wave, meaning you’ll waste far more ammo to kill a single zombie in later stages than in the first one. The game doesn’t justify its high price in its current state. The gameplay feels generic, the low-poly assets lack originality, and there’s little replay value after a single round. While it’s still in early access, it clearly needs significant improvement.
