Great little game that needs some desperate QoL improvements. The camera is extremely sluggish and takes at least a second to respond to movement input. I'm currently on the third stage and sometimes run into an issue where I can't move the camera left/right.

It's a giant pain in the ass to select anything, I often find myself clicking an object five time in order to select it. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally deleted the wrong object because I thought I had the right one selected. Which reminds me, the delete all objects button should have a confirmation window pop up. I spent 45 minutes setting up a level then accidentally hit delete all instead of delete balls and oops all my work is gone. Also, it would be nice if there was a left over ghost image for an object I moved so I know where it used to be, it would help a bit when trying to figure out bounce angles.

Lastly, I sometimes find placing a new object at the end of a path I made somehow affects the path itself, and all of a sudden the balls aren't bouncing how they were. It seems inconsistent so maybe I'm doing something wrong, I swear it mostly affects what direction balls bounce off apples.

I gave the game a negative review but I feel all the issues I mentioned can be easily fixed by a competent developer, so I'll happily cross out my complaints and change my recommendation as they get fixed. Unless the game is a cheap cash grab, in that case screw you for making something I enjoy this much :P

Edit: I already figured out what the issue is with the camera. If you pan to the side of a stage and keep holding that direction the camera stops, but the "position" of the camera keeps updating. In other words, if I reach the right side of the screen and keep holding right for 3 seconds, I need to hold left for 3 seconds for the camera to start moving left again.


Only took a day for the dev to fix everything, very impressed :) It can still be a little difficult to select objects but I assume it's because I have balls bouncing all over the place :P

Early Access Review
7 Days to Die is like a good survival game combined with Minecraft. You run around scavenging loot from houses, towns, camp sites, etc. while leveling your character and skills in an Elder Scrolls type fashion. During this time you also build up a sweet base and can upgrade it over time. There isn't too much to do at end game currently so most players use this time for a massive building project (impenetrable bunker, pretty houses, giant wang made of stone, etc).

Over all I'd highly recommend this for coop PvE type people. Since it's an alpha bugs and exploits can randomly pop up with each new patch, so PvP is pretty rough unless you're playing with friends who will fight fair.

Anyway, it's one of the few games I have over 1000 hours in and have been happy for the vast majority of that time.
