Three Dead Zed

If twitch reflex, action/puzzle-platformers are your forte, you will love the light hearted humour, beautiful, hand drawn art style and annoyingly, addictive gameplay of Three Dead Zed. For me however, this game had too many frustrating deaths and not enough puzzles that really challenge the player's problem solving skills. I enjoyed my time with Three Dead Zed and was very satisfied after completing the main story levels but am in no way committed enough to push through the challenge rooms that remain. Three Dead Zed is a good indie title and has earned 6.5 out of 10 from me. STORY Three Dead Zed tells the story of Subject Zed, a scientifically engineered zombie that must escape the confines of the lab in which it was created, by rescuing cats in tinfoil hats. The player is guided through each level by a mysterious telepathic entity, that has lost touch with its cat infiltration team. As Subject Zed you must use your ability to change forms to traverse extremely dangerous and increas...

Great game for killing time, got a little boring for me -i like FPS shooters- however from the games of this kind i have played, it's one of the best! The game is a puzzle-platformer, you have three separate forms you can change at will (The Heavy, The Classic and The Sprinter). The Heavy is a slow and ultimately un-maneuverable class which deals increased damage and has great health; its jump ability should be removed, i have a large monitor, and it barely moved half an inch on it. The Classic's abilities are being able to climb ladders and to activate switches -with normal health and attack capabilities; The Classic can jump -though not very far compared to The Sprinter. The Sprinter is extremely fast and can jump far -sometimes too far, for a compromise: it cannot attack and has little health. Overall i think that it has potential to be a really good game if the devs put a little more work into the physics and controls -the controls feel different and strange, you move way to far ...

so bad couldn’t even get through the tutorial

This game is so cute and so much fun, I thought it was just a dumb busywork kind of game, something I got to fill the time when I was bored and restless, but it's actually adorable and a ton of fun. It's super forgiving (which is good, because it's really easy to die) and feels natural when using a controller with your pc.

fun addictive, chilling game. $5 well spent

Let’s talk about platformers. My favorite of all time is Super Mario 2. It gave you the option to pick one of four characters, each of whom had different abilities. If you chose the correct one, you got through the level a lot easier than if you chose poorly. In Three Dead Zed, you not only get to swap characters, you get to do it mid-level! It becomes not only necessary to choose the right Zombie, but it also becomes a skill one must master in order to proceed further into the game. Not only is this ingenious, it’s a hell of a lot of fun! The puzzles increase in complexity and difficulty as you progress (Which is what you would expect), and it keeps you entertained. I especially love how a nice splatter of your former self remains after you die and are reborn to try the level again. The Controls are great if you have a controller. Xbox360 recommended, but if you are familiar with playing FPS games on a keyboard, you won’t find any difficulty here. The controls are ma...
